VII - Specifying interrupt information for devices
|
||||||
|
===================================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The device tree represents the busses and devices of a hardware
|
||||||
|
system in a form similar to the physical bus topology of the
|
||||||
|
hardware.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In addition, a logical 'interrupt tree' exists which represents the
|
||||||
|
hierarchy and routing of interrupts in the hardware.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The interrupt tree model is fully described in the
|
||||||
|
document "Open Firmware Recommended Practice: Interrupt
|
||||||
|
Mapping Version 0.9". The document is available at:
|
||||||
|
<http://playground.sun.com/1275/practice>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1) interrupts property
|
||||||
|
----------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Devices that generate interrupts to a single interrupt controller
|
||||||
|
should use the conventional OF representation described in the
|
||||||
|
OF interrupt mapping documentation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Each device which generates interrupts must have an 'interrupt'
|
||||||
|
property. The interrupt property value is an arbitrary number of
|
||||||
|
of 'interrupt specifier' values which describe the interrupt or
|
||||||
|
interrupts for the device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The encoding of an interrupt specifier is determined by the
|
||||||
|
interrupt domain in which the device is located in the
|
||||||
|
interrupt tree. The root of an interrupt domain specifies in
|
||||||
|
its #interrupt-cells property the number of 32-bit cells
|
||||||
|
required to encode an interrupt specifier. See the OF interrupt
|
||||||
|
mapping documentation for a detailed description of domains.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For example, the binding for the OpenPIC interrupt controller
|
||||||
|
specifies an #interrupt-cells value of 2 to encode the interrupt
|
||||||
|
number and level/sense information. All interrupt children in an
|
||||||
|
OpenPIC interrupt domain use 2 cells per interrupt in their interrupts
|
||||||
|
property.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The PCI bus binding specifies a #interrupt-cell value of 1 to encode
|
||||||
|
which interrupt pin (INTA,INTB,INTC,INTD) is used.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2) interrupt-parent property
|
||||||
|
----------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The interrupt-parent property is specified to define an explicit
|
||||||
|
link between a device node and its interrupt parent in
|
||||||
|
the interrupt tree. The value of interrupt-parent is the
|
||||||
|
phandle of the parent node.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the interrupt-parent property is not defined for a node, it's
|
||||||
|
interrupt parent is assumed to be an ancestor in the node's
|
||||||
|
_device tree_ hierarchy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3) OpenPIC Interrupt Controllers
|
||||||
|
--------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OpenPIC interrupt controllers require 2 cells to encode
|
||||||
|
interrupt information. The first cell defines the interrupt
|
||||||
|
number. The second cell defines the sense and level
|
||||||
|
information.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Sense and level information should be encoded as follows:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
0 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled
|
||||||
|
1 = active low level sensitive type enabled
|
||||||
|
2 = active high level sensitive type enabled
|
||||||
|
3 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4) ISA Interrupt Controllers
|
||||||
|
----------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ISA PIC interrupt controllers require 2 cells to encode
|
||||||
|
interrupt information. The first cell defines the interrupt
|
||||||
|
number. The second cell defines the sense and level
|
||||||
|
information.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ISA PIC interrupt controllers should adhere to the ISA PIC
|
||||||
|
encodings listed below:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
0 = active low level sensitive type enabled
|
||||||
|
1 = active high level sensitive type enabled
|
||||||
|
2 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled
|
||||||
|
3 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled
