|  | 33 | - Change version 16 format to always align | 
|  | 34 | property data to 4 bytes. Since tokens are | 
|  | 35 | already aligned, that means no specific | 
|  | 36 | required alignement between property size | 
|  | 37 | and property data. The old style variable | 
|  | 38 | alignment would make it impossible to do | 
|  | 39 | "simple" insertion of properties using | 
|  | 40 | memove (thanks Milton for |

|  | 67 | I - Introduction | 
|  | 68 | ================ | 
|  | 69 |  | 
|  | 70 | During the recent development of the Linux/ppc64 kernel, and more | 
|  | 71 | specifically, the addition of new platform types outside of the old | 
|  | 72 | IBM pSeries/iSeries pair, it was decided to enforce some strict rules | 
|  | 73 | regarding the kernel entry and bootloader <-> kernel interfaces, in | 
|  | 74 | order to avoid the degeneration that had become the ppc32 kernel entry | 
|  | 75 | point and the way a new platform should be added to the kernel. The | 
|  | 76 | legacy iSeries platform breaks those rules as it predates this scheme, | 
|  | 77 | but no new board support will be accepted in the main tree that | 
|  | 78 | doesn't follows them properly.  In addition, since the advent of the | 
|  | 79 | arch/powerpc merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64, new 32-bit | 
|  | 80 | platforms and 32-bit platforms which move into arch/powerpc will be | 
|  | 81 | required to use these rules as well. | 
|  | 82 |  | 
|  | 83 | The main requirement that will be defined in more detail below is | 
|  | 84 | the presence of a device-tree whose format is defined after Open | 
|  | 85 | Firmware specification. However, in order to make life easier | 
|  | 86 | to embedded board vendors, the kernel doesn't require the device-tree | 
|  | 87 | to represent every device in the system and only requires some nodes | 
|  | 88 | and properties to be present. This will be described in detail in | 
|  | 89 | section III, but, for example, the kernel does not require you to | 
|  | 90 | create a node for every PCI device in the system. It is a requirement | 
|  | 91 | to have a node for PCI host bridges in order to provide interrupt | 
|  | 92 | routing informations and memory/IO ranges, among others. It is also | 
|  | 93 | recommended to define nodes for on chip devices and other busses that | 
|  | 94 | don't specifically fit in an existing OF specification. This creates a | 
|  | 95 | great flexibility in the way the kernel can then probe those and match | 
|  | 96 | drivers to device, without having to hard code all sorts of tables. It | 
|  | 97 | also makes it more flexible for board vendors to do minor hardware | 
|  | 98 | upgrades without significantly impacting the kernel code or cluttering | 
|  | 99 | it with special cases. | 
|  | 100 |  | 
|  | 101 |  | 
|  | 102 | 1) Entry point for arch/powerpc | 
|  | 103 | ------------------------------- | 
|  | 104 |  | 
|  | 105 | There is one and one single entry point to the kernel, at the start | 
|  | 106 | of the kernel image. That entry point supports two calling | 
|  | 107 | conventions: | 
|  | 108 |  | 
|  | 109 | a) Boot from Open Firmware. If your firmware is compatible | 
|  | 110 | with Open Firmware (IEEE 1275) or provides an OF compatible | 
|  | 111 | client interface API (support for "interpret" callback of | 
|  | 112 | forth words isn't required), you can enter the kernel with: | 
|  | 113 |  | 
|  | 114 | r5 : OF callback pointer as defined by IEEE 1275 | 
|  | 115 | bindings to powerpc. Only the 32 bit client interface | 
|  | 116 | is currently supported | 
|  | 117 |  | 
|  | 118 | r3, r4 : address & length of an initrd if any or 0 | 
|  | 119 |  | 
|  | 120 | The MMU is either on or off; the kernel will run the | 
|  | 121 | trampoline located in arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c to | 
|  | 122 | extract the device-tree and other information from open | 
|  | 123 | firmware and build a flattened device-tree as described | 
|  | 124 | in b). prom_init() will then re-enter the kernel using | 
|  | 125 | the second method. This trampoline code runs in the | 
|  | 126 | context of the firmware, which is supposed to handle all | 
|  | 127 | exceptions during that time. | 
|  | 128 |  | 
|  | 129 | b) Direct entry with a flattened device-tree block. This entry | 
|  | 130 | point is called by a) after the OF trampoline and can also be | 
|  | 131 | called directly by a bootloader that does not support the Open | 
|  | 132 | Firmware client interface. It is also used by "kexec" to | 
|  | 133 | implement "hot" booting of a new kernel from a previous | 
|  | 134 | running one. This method is what I will describe in more | 
|  | 135 | details in this document, as method a) is simply standard Open | 
|  | 136 | Firmware, and thus should be implemented according to the | 
|  | 137 | various standard documents defining it and its binding to the | 
|  | 138 | PowerPC platform. The entry point definition then becomes: | 
|  | 139 |  | 
|  | 140 | r3 : physical pointer to the device-tree block | 
|  | 141 | (defined in chapter II) in RAM | 
|  | 142 |  | 
|  | 143 | r4 : physical pointer to the kernel itself. This is | 
|  | 144 | used by the assembly code to properly disable the MMU | 
|  | 145 | in case you are entering the kernel with MMU enabled | 
|  | 146 | and a non-1:1 mapping. | 
|  | 147 |  | 
|  | 148 | r5 : NULL (as to differenciate with method a) | 
|  | 149 |  | 
|  | 150 | Note about SMP entry: Either your firmware puts your other | 
|  | 151 | CPUs in some sleep loop or spin loop in ROM where you can get | 
|  | 152 | them out via a soft reset or some other means, in which case | 
|  | 153 | you don't need to care, or you'll have to enter the kernel | 
|  | 154 | with all CPUs. The way to do that with method b) will be | 
|  | 155 | described in a later revision of this document. | 
|  | 156 |  | 
|  | 157 |  | 
|  | 158 | 2) Board support | 
|  | 159 | ---------------- | 
|  | 160 |  | 
|  | 161 | 64-bit kernels: | 
|  | 162 |  | 
|  | 163 | Board supports (platforms) are not exclusive config options. An | 
|  | 164 | arbitrary set of board supports can be built in a single kernel | 
|  | 165 | image. The kernel will "know" what set of functions to use for a | 
|  | 166 | given platform based on the content of the device-tree. Thus, you | 
|  | 167 | should: | 
|  | 168 |  | 
|  | 169 | a) add your platform support as a _boolean_ option in | 
|  | 170 | arch/powerpc/Kconfig, following the example of PPC_PSERIES, | 
|  | 171 | PPC_PMAC and PPC_MAPLE. The later is probably a good | 
|  | 172 | example of a board support to start from. | 
|  | 173 |  | 
|  | 174 | b) create your main platform file as | 
|  | 175 | "arch/powerpc/platforms/myplatform/myboard_setup.c" and add it | 
|  | 176 | to the Makefile under the condition of your CONFIG_ | 
|  | 177 | option. This file will define a structure of type "ppc_md" | 
|  | 178 | containing the various callbacks that the generic code will | 
|  | 179 | use to get to your platform specific code | 
|  | 180 |  | 
|  | 181 | c) Add a reference to your "ppc_md" structure in the | 
|  | 182 | "machines" table in arch/powerpc/kernel/setup_64.c if you are | 
|  | 183 | a 64-bit platform. | 
|  | 184 |  | 
|  | 185 | d) request and get assigned a platform number (see PLATFORM_* | 
|  | 186 | constants in include/asm-powerpc/processor.h | 
|  | 187 |  | 
|  | 188 | 32-bit embedded kernels: | 
|  | 189 |  | 
|  | 190 | Currently, board support is essentially an exclusive config option. | 
|  | 191 | The kernel is configured for a single platform.  Part of the reason | 
|  | 192 | for this is to keep kernels on embedded systems small and efficient; | 
|  | 193 | part of this is due to the fact the code is already that way. In the | 
|  | 194 | future, a kernel may support multiple platforms, but only if the | 
|  | 195 | platforms feature the same core architectire.  A single kernel build | 
|  | 196 | cannot support both configurations with Book E and configurations | 
|  | 197 | with classic Powerpc architectures. | 
|  | 198 |  | 
|  | 199 | 32-bit embedded platforms that are moved into arch/powerpc using a | 
|  | 200 | flattened device tree should adopt the merged tree practice of | 
|  | 201 | setting ppc_md up dynamically, even though the kernel is currently | 
|  | 202 | built with support for only a single platform at a time.  This allows | 
|  | 203 | unification of the setup code, and will make it easier to go to a | 
|  | 204 | multiple-platform-support model in the future. | 
|  | 205 |  | 
|  | 206 | NOTE: I believe the above will be true once Ben's done with the merge | 
|  | 207 | of the boot sequences.... someone speak up if this is wrong! | 
|  | 208 |  | 
|  | 209 | To add a 32-bit embedded platform support, follow the instructions | 
|  | 210 | for 64-bit platforms above, with the exception that the Kconfig | 
|  | 211 | option should be set up such that the kernel builds exclusively for | 
|  | 212 | the platform selected.  The processor type for the platform should | 
|  | 213 | enable another config option to select the specific board | 
|  | 214 | supported. | 
|  | 215 |  | 
|  | 216 | NOTE: If ben doesn't merge the setup files, may need to change this to | 
|  | 217 | point to setup_32.c | 
|  | 218 |  | 
|  | 219 |  | 
|  | 220 | I will describe later the boot process and various callbacks that | 
|  | 221 | your platform should implement. | 
|  | 222 |  | 
|  | 223 |  | 
|  | 224 | II - The DT block format | 
|  | 225 | ======================== | 
|  | 226 |  | 
|  | 227 |  | 
|  | 228 | This chapter defines the actual format of the flattened device-tree | 
|  | 229 | passed to the kernel. The actual content of it and kernel requirements | 
|  | 230 | are described later. You can find example of code manipulating that | 
|  | 231 | format in various places, including arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c | 
|  | 232 | which will generate a flattened device-tree from the Open Firmware | 
|  | 233 | representation, or the fs2dt utility which is part of the kexec tools | 
|  | 234 | which will generate one from a filesystem representation. It is | 
|  | 235 | expected that a bootloader like uboot provides a bit more support, | 
|  | 236 | that will be discussed later as well. | 
|  | 237 |  | 
|  | 238 | Note: The block has to be in main memory. It has to be accessible in | 
|  | 239 | both real mode and virtual mode with no mapping other than main | 
|  | 240 | memory. If you are writing a simple flash bootloader, it should copy | 
|  | 241 | the block to RAM before passing it to the kernel. | 
|  | 242 |  | 
|  | 243 |  | 
|  | 244 | 1) Header | 
|  | 245 | --------- | 
|  | 246 |  | 
|  | 247 | The kernel is entered with r3 pointing to an area of memory that is | 
|  | 248 | roughtly described in include/asm-powerpc/prom.h by the structure | 
|  | 249 | boot_param_header: | 
|  | 250 |  | 
|  | 251 | struct boot_param_header { | 
|  | 252 | u32     magic;                  /* magic word OF_DT_HEADER */ | 
|  | 253 | u32     totalsize;              /* total size of DT block */ | 
|  | 254 | u32     off_dt_struct;          /* offset to structure */ | 
|  | 255 | u32     off_dt_strings;         /* offset to strings */ | 
|  | 256 | u32     off_mem_rsvmap;         /* offset to memory reserve map | 
|  | 257 | */ | 
|  | 258 | u32     version;                /* format version */ | 
|  | 259 | u32     last_comp_version;      /* last compatible version */ | 
|  | 260 |  | 
|  | 261 | /* version 2 fields below */ | 
|  | 262 | u32     boot_cpuid_phys;        /* Which physical CPU id we're | 
|  | 263 | booting on */ | 
|  | 264 | /* version 3 fields below */ | 
|  | 265 | u32     size_dt_strings;        /* size of the strings block */ | 
|  | 266 | }; | 
|  | 267 |  | 
|  | 268 | Along with the constants: | 
|  | 269 |  | 
|  | 270 | /* Definitions used by the flattened device tree */ | 
|  | 271 | #define OF_DT_HEADER            0xd00dfeed      /* 4: version, | 
|  | 272 | 4: total size */ | 
|  | 273 | #define OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE        0x1             /* Start node: full name | 
|  | 274 | */ | 
|  | 275 | #define OF_DT_END_NODE          0x2             /* End node */ | 
|  | 276 | #define OF_DT_PROP              0x3             /* Property: name off, | 
|  | 277 | size, content */ | 
|  | 278 | #define OF_DT_END               0x9 | 
|  | 279 |  | 
|  | 280 | All values in this header are in big endian format, the various | 
|  | 281 | fields in this header are defined more precisely below. All | 
|  | 282 | "offset" values are in bytes from the start of the header; that is | 
|  | 283 | from the value of r3. | 
|  | 284 |  | 
|  | 285 | - magic | 
|  | 286 |  | 
|  | 287 | This is a magic value that "marks" the beginning of the | 
|  | 288 | device-tree block header. It contains the value 0xd00dfeed and is | 
|  | 289 | defined by the constant OF_DT_HEADER | 
|  | 290 |  | 
|  | 291 | - totalsize | 
|  | 292 |  | 
|  | 293 | This is the total size of the DT block including the header. The | 
|  | 294 | "DT" block should enclose all data structures defined in this | 
|  | 295 | chapter (who are pointed to by offsets in this header). That is, | 
|  | 296 | the device-tree structure, strings, and the memory reserve map. | 
|  | 297 |  | 
|  | 298 | - off_dt_struct | 
|  | 299 |  | 
|  | 300 | This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start | 
|  | 301 | of the "structure" part the device tree. (see 2) device tree) | 
|  | 302 |  | 
|  | 303 | - off_dt_strings | 
|  | 304 |  | 
|  | 305 | This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start | 
|  | 306 | of the "strings" part of the device-tree | 
|  | 307 |  | 
|  | 308 | - off_mem_rsvmap | 
|  | 309 |  | 
|  | 310 | This is an offset from the beginning of the header to the start | 
|  | 311 | of the reserved memory map. This map is a list of pairs of 64 | 
|  | 312 | bit integers. Each pair is a physical address and a size. The | 
|  | 313 |  | 
|  | 314 | list is terminated by an entry of size 0. This map provides the | 
|  | 315 | kernel with a list of physical memory areas that are "reserved" | 
|  | 316 | and thus not to be used for memory allocations, especially during | 
|  | 317 | early initialization. The kernel needs to allocate memory during | 
|  | 318 | boot for things like un-flattening the device-tree, allocating an | 
|  | 319 | MMU hash table, etc... Those allocations must be done in such a | 
|  | 320 | way to avoid overriding critical things like, on Open Firmware | 
|  | 321 | capable machines, the RTAS instance, or on some pSeries, the TCE | 
|  | 322 | tables used for the iommu. Typically, the reserve map should | 
|  | 323 | contain _at least_ this DT block itself (header,total_size). If | 
|  | 324 | you are passing an initrd to the kernel, you should reserve it as | 
|  | 325 | well. You do not need to reserve the kernel image itself. The map | 
|  | 326 | should be 64 bit aligned. | 
|  | 327 |  | 
|  | 328 | - version | 
|  | 329 |  | 
|  | 330 | This is the version of this structure. Version 1 stops | 
|  | 331 | here. Version 2 adds an additional field boot_cpuid_phys. | 
|  | 332 | Version 3 adds the size of the strings block, allowing the kernel | 
|  | 333 | to reallocate it easily at boot and free up the unused flattened | 
|  | 334 | structure after expansion. Version 16 introduces a new more | 
|  | 335 | "compact" format for the tree itself that is however not backward | 
|  | 336 | compatible. You should always generate a structure of the highest | 
|  | 337 | version defined at the time of your implementation. Currently | 
|  | 338 | that is version 16, unless you explicitely aim at being backward | 
|  | 339 | compatible. | 
|  | 340 |  | 
|  | 341 | - last_comp_version | 
|  | 342 |  | 
|  | 343 | Last compatible version. This indicates down to what version of | 
|  | 344 | the DT block you are backward compatible. For example, version 2 | 
|  | 345 | is backward compatible with version 1 (that is, a kernel build | 
|  | 346 | for version 1 will be able to boot with a version 2 format). You | 
|  | 347 | should put a 1 in this field if you generate a device tree of | 
|  | 348 | version 1 to 3, or 0x10 if you generate a tree of version 0x10 | 
|  | 349 | using the new unit name format. | 
|  | 350 |  | 
|  | 351 | - boot_cpuid_phys | 
|  | 352 |  | 
|  | 353 | This field only exist on version 2 headers. It indicate which | 
|  | 354 | physical CPU ID is calling the kernel entry point. This is used, | 
|  | 355 | among others, by kexec. If you are on an SMP system, this value | 
|  | 356 | should match the content of the "reg" property of the CPU node in | 
|  | 357 | the device-tree corresponding to the CPU calling the kernel entry | 
|  | 358 | point (see further chapters for more informations on the required | 
|  | 359 | device-tree contents) | 
|  | 360 |  | 
|  | 361 |  | 
|  | 362 | So the typical layout of a DT block (though the various parts don't | 
|  | 363 | need to be in that order) looks like this (addresses go from top to | 
|  | 364 | bottom): | 
|  | 365 |  |

|  | 390 | (*) The alignment gaps are not necessarily present; their presence | 
|  | 391 | and size are dependent on the various alignment requirements of | 
|  | 392 | the individual data blocks. | 
|  | 393 |  | 
|  | 394 |  | 
|  | 395 | 2) Device tree generalities | 
|  | 396 | --------------------------- | 
|  | 397 |  | 
|  | 398 | This device-tree itself is separated in two different blocks, a | 
|  | 399 | structure block and a strings block. Both need to be aligned to a 4 | 
|  | 400 | byte boundary. | 
|  | 401 |  | 
|  | 402 | First, let's quickly describe the device-tree concept before detailing | 
|  | 403 | the storage format. This chapter does _not_ describe the detail of the | 
|  | 404 | required types of nodes & properties for the kernel, this is done | 
|  | 405 | later in chapter III. | 
|  | 406 |  | 
|  | 407 | The device-tree layout is strongly inherited from the definition of | 
|  | 408 | the Open Firmware IEEE 1275 device-tree. It's basically a tree of | 
|  | 409 | nodes, each node having two or more named properties. A property can | 
|  | 410 | have a value or not. | 
|  | 411 |  | 
|  | 412 | It is a tree, so each node has one and only one parent except for the | 
|  | 413 | root node who has no parent. | 
|  | 414 |  | 
|  | 415 | A node has 2 names. The actual node name is generally contained in a | 
|  | 416 | property of type "name" in the node property list whose value is a | 
|  | 417 | zero terminated string and is mandatory for version 1 to 3 of the | 
|  | 418 | format definition (as it is in Open Firmware). Version 0x10 makes it | 
|  | 419 | optional as it can generate it from the unit name defined below. | 
|  | 420 |  | 
|  | 421 | There is also a "unit name" that is used to differenciate nodes with | 
|  | 422 | the same name at the same level, it is usually made of the node | 
|  | 423 | name's, the "@" sign, and a "unit address", which definition is | 
|  | 424 | specific to the bus type the node sits on. | 
|  | 425 |  | 
|  | 426 | The unit name doesn't exist as a property per-se but is included in | 
|  | 427 | the device-tree structure. It is typically used to represent "path" in | 
|  | 428 | the device-tree. More details about the actual format of these will be | 
|  | 429 | below. | 
|  | 430 |  | 
|  | 431 | The kernel powerpc generic code does not make any formal use of the | 
|  | 432 | unit address (though some board support code may do) so the only real | 
|  | 433 | requirement here for the unit address is to ensure uniqueness of | 
|  | 434 | the node unit name at a given level of the tree. Nodes with no notion | 
|  | 435 | of address and no possible sibling of the same name (like /memory or | 
|  | 436 | /cpus) may omit the unit address in the context of this specification, | 
|  | 437 | or use the "@0" default unit address. The unit name is used to define | 
|  | 438 | a node "full path", which is the concatenation of all parent node | 
|  | 439 | unit names separated with "/". | 
|  | 440 |  | 
|  | 441 | The root node doesn't have a defined name, and isn't required to have | 
|  | 442 | a name property either if you are using version 3 or earlier of the | 
|  | 443 | format. It also has no unit address (no @ symbol followed by a unit | 
|  | 444 | address). The root node unit name is thus an empty string. The full | 
|  | 445 | path to the root node is "/". | 
|  | 446 |  | 
|  | 447 | Every node which actually represents an actual device (that is, a node | 
|  | 448 | which isn't only a virtual "container" for more nodes, like "/cpus" | 
|  | 449 | is) is also required to have a "device_type" property indicating the | 
|  | 450 | type of node . | 
|  | 451 |  | 
|  | 452 | Finally, every node that can be referenced from a property in another | 
|  | 453 | node is required to have a "linux,phandle" property. Real open | 
|  | 454 | firmware implementations provide a unique "phandle" value for every | 
|  | 455 | node that the "prom_init()" trampoline code turns into | 
|  | 456 | "linux,phandle" properties. However, this is made optional if the | 
|  | 457 | flattened device tree is used directly. An example of a node | 
|  | 458 | referencing another node via "phandle" is when laying out the | 
|  | 459 | interrupt tree which will be described in a further version of this | 
|  | 460 | document. | 
|  | 461 |  | 
|  | 462 | This "linux, phandle" property is a 32 bit value that uniquely | 
|  | 463 | identifies a node. You are free to use whatever values or system of | 
|  | 464 | values, internal pointers, or whatever to generate these, the only | 
|  | 465 | requirement is that every node for which you provide that property has | 
|  | 466 | a unique value for it. | 
|  | 467 |  | 
|  | 468 | Here is an example of a simple device-tree. In this example, an "o" | 
|  | 469 | designates a node followed by the node unit name. Properties are | 
|  | 470 | presented with their name followed by their content. "content" | 
|  | 471 | represents an ASCII string (zero terminated) value, while <content> | 
|  | 472 | represents a 32 bit hexadecimal value. The various nodes in this | 
|  | 473 | example will be discussed in a later chapter. At this point, it is | 
|  | 474 | only meant to give you a idea of what a device-tree looks like. I have | 
|  | 475 | purposefully kept the "name" and "linux,phandle" properties which | 
|  | 476 | aren't necessary in order to give you a better idea of what the tree | 
|  | 477 | looks like in practice. | 
|  | 478 |  | 
|  | 479 | / o device-tree | 
|  | 480 | |- name = "device-tree" | 
|  | 481 | |- model = "MyBoardName" | 
|  | 482 | |- compatible = "MyBoardFamilyName" | 
|  | 483 | |- #address-cells = <2> | 
|  | 484 | |- #size-cells = <2> | 
|  | 485 | |- linux,phandle = <0> | 
|  | 486 | | | 
|  | 487 | o cpus | 
|  | 488 | | | - name = "cpus" | 
|  | 489 | | | - linux,phandle = <1> | 
|  | 490 | | | - #address-cells = <1> | 
|  | 491 | | | - #size-cells = <0> | 
|  | 492 | | | | 
|  | 493 | | o PowerPC,970@0 | 
|  | 494 | |   |- name = "PowerPC,970" | 
|  | 495 | |   |- device_type = "cpu" | 
|  | 496 | |   |- reg = <0> | 
|  | 497 | |   |- clock-frequency = <5f5e1000> | 
|  | 498 | |   |- linux,boot-cpu | 
|  | 499 | |   |- linux,phandle = <2> | 
|  | 500 | | | 
|  | 501 | o memory@0 | 
|  | 502 | | |- name = "memory" | 
|  | 503 | | |- device_type = "memory" | 
|  | 504 | | |- reg = <00000000 00000000 00000000 20000000> | 
|  | 505 | | |- linux,phandle = <3> | 
|  | 506 | | | 
|  | 507 | o chosen | 
|  | 508 | |- name = "chosen" | 
|  | 509 | |- bootargs = "root=/dev/sda2" | 
|  | 510 | |- linux,platform = <00000600> | 
|  | 511 | |- linux,phandle = <4> | 
|  | 512 |  | 
|  | 513 | This tree is almost a minimal tree. It pretty much contains the | 
|  | 514 | minimal set of required nodes and properties to boot a linux kernel; | 
|  | 515 | that is, some basic model informations at the root, the CPUs, and the | 
|  | 516 | physical memory layout.  It also includes misc information passed | 
|  | 517 | through /chosen, like in this example, the platform type (mandatory) | 
|  | 518 | and the kernel command line arguments (optional). | 
|  | 519 |  | 
|  | 520 | The /cpus/PowerPC,970@0/linux,boot-cpu property is an example of a | 
|  | 521 | property without a value. All other properties have a value. The | 
|  | 522 | significance of the #address-cells and #size-cells properties will be | 
|  | 523 | explained in chapter IV which defines precisely the required nodes and | 
|  | 524 | properties and their content. | 
|  | 525 |  | 
|  | 526 |  | 
|  | 527 | 3) Device tree "structure" block | 
|  | 528 |  | 
|  | 529 | The structure of the device tree is a linearized tree structure. The | 
|  | 530 | "OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE" token starts a new node, and the "OF_DT_END_NODE" | 
|  | 531 | ends that node definition. Child nodes are simply defined before | 
|  | 532 | "OF_DT_END_NODE" (that is nodes within the node). A 'token' is a 32 | 
|  | 533 | bit value. The tree has to be "finished" with a OF_DT_END token | 
|  | 534 |  | 
|  | 535 | Here's the basic structure of a single node: | 
|  | 536 |  | 
|  | 537 | * token OF_DT_BEGIN_NODE (that is 0x00000001) | 
|  | 538 | * for version 1 to 3, this is the node full path as a zero | 
|  | 539 | terminated string, starting with "/". For version 16 and later, | 
|  | 540 | this is the node unit name only (or an empty string for the | 
|  | 541 | root node) | 
|  | 542 | * [align gap to next 4 bytes boundary] | 
|  | 543 | * for each property: | 
|  | 544 | * token OF_DT_PROP (that is 0x00000003) | 
|  | 545 | * 32 bit value of property value size in bytes (or 0 of no | 
|  | 546 | * value) | 
|  | 547 | * 32 bit value of offset in string block of property name | 
|  | 548 | * property value data if any | 
|  | 549 | * [align gap to next 4 bytes boundary] | 
|  | 550 | * [child nodes if any] | 
|  | 551 | * token OF_DT_END_NODE (that is 0x00000002) | 
|  | 552 |  | 
|  | 553 | So the node content can be summmarised as a start token, a full path, | 
|  | 554 | a list of properties, a list of child node and an end token. Every | 
|  | 555 | child node is a full node structure itself as defined above. | 
|  | 556 |  | 
|  | 557 | 4) Device tree 'strings" block | 
|  | 558 |  | 
|  | 559 | In order to save space, property names, which are generally redundant, | 
|  | 560 | are stored separately in the "strings" block. This block is simply the | 
|  | 561 | whole bunch of zero terminated strings for all property names | 
|  | 562 | concatenated together. The device-tree property definitions in the | 
|  | 563 | structure block will contain offset values from the beginning of the | 
|  | 564 | strings block. | 
|  | 565 |  | 
|  | 566 |  | 
|  | 567 | III - Required content of the device tree | 
|  | 568 | ========================================= | 
|  | 569 |  | 
|  | 570 | WARNING: All "linux,*" properties defined in this document apply only | 
|  | 571 | to a flattened device-tree. If your platform uses a real | 
|  | 572 | implementation of Open Firmware or an implementation compatible with | 
|  | 573 | the Open Firmware client interface, those properties will be created | 
|  | 574 | by the trampoline code in the kernel's prom_init() file. For example, | 
|  | 575 | that's where you'll have to add code to detect your board model and | 
|  | 576 | set the platform number. However, when using the flatenned device-tree | 
|  | 577 | entry point, there is no prom_init() pass, and thus you have to | 
|  | 578 | provide those properties yourself. | 
|  | 579 |  | 
|  | 580 |  | 
|  | 581 | 1) Note about cells and address representation | 
|  | 582 | ---------------------------------------------- | 
|  | 583 |  | 
|  | 584 | The general rule is documented in the various Open Firmware | 
|  | 585 | documentations. If you chose to describe a bus with the device-tree | 
|  | 586 | and there exist an OF bus binding, then you should follow the | 
|  | 587 | specification. However, the kernel does not require every single | 
|  | 588 | device or bus to be described by the device tree. | 
|  | 589 |  | 
|  | 590 | In general, the format of an address for a device is defined by the | 
|  | 591 | parent bus type, based on the #address-cells and #size-cells | 
|  | 592 | property. In the absence of such a property, the parent's parent | 
|  | 593 | values are used, etc... The kernel requires the root node to have | 
|  | 594 | those properties defining addresses format for devices directly mapped | 
|  | 595 | on the processor bus. | 
|  | 596 |  | 
|  | 597 | Those 2 properties define 'cells' for representing an address and a | 
|  | 598 | size. A "cell" is a 32 bit number. For example, if both contain 2 | 
|  | 599 | like the example tree given above, then an address and a size are both | 
|  | 600 | composed of 2 cells, and each is a 64 bit number (cells are | 
|  | 601 | concatenated and expected to be in big endian format). Another example | 
|  | 602 | is the way Apple firmware defines them, with 2 cells for an address | 
|  | 603 | and one cell for a size.  Most 32-bit implementations should define | 
|  | 604 | #address-cells and #size-cells to 1, which represents a 32-bit value. | 
|  | 605 | Some 32-bit processors allow for physical addresses greater than 32 | 
|  | 606 | bits; these processors should define #address-cells as 2. | 
|  | 607 |  | 
|  | 608 | "reg" properties are always a tuple of the type "address size" where | 
|  | 609 | the number of cells of address and size is specified by the bus | 
|  | 610 | #address-cells and #size-cells. When a bus supports various address | 
|  | 611 | spaces and other flags relative to a given address allocation (like | 
|  | 612 | prefetchable, etc...) those flags are usually added to the top level | 
|  | 613 | bits of the physical address. For example, a PCI physical address is | 
|  | 614 | made of 3 cells, the bottom two containing the actual address itself | 
|  | 615 | while the top cell contains address space indication, flags, and pci | 
|  | 616 | bus & device numbers. | 
|  | 617 |  | 
|  | 618 | For busses that support dynamic allocation, it's the accepted practice | 
|  | 619 | to then not provide the address in "reg" (keep it 0) though while | 
|  | 620 | providing a flag indicating the address is dynamically allocated, and | 
|  | 621 | then, to provide a separate "assigned-addresses" property that | 
|  | 622 | contains the fully allocated addresses. See the PCI OF bindings for | 
|  | 623 | details. | 
|  | 624 |  | 
|  | 625 | In general, a simple bus with no address space bits and no dynamic | 
|  | 626 | allocation is preferred if it reflects your hardware, as the existing | 
|  | 627 | kernel address parsing functions will work out of the box. If you | 
|  | 628 | define a bus type with a more complex address format, including things | 
|  | 629 | like address space bits, you'll have to add a bus translator to the | 
|  | 630 | prom_parse.c file of the recent kernels for your bus type. | 
|  | 631 |  | 
|  | 632 | The "reg" property only defines addresses and sizes (if #size-cells | 
|  | 633 | is | 
|  | 634 | non-0) within a given bus. In order to translate addresses upward | 
|  | 635 | (that is into parent bus addresses, and possibly into cpu physical | 
|  | 636 | addresses), all busses must contain a "ranges" property. If the | 
|  | 637 | "ranges" property is missing at a given level, it's assumed that | 
|  | 638 | translation isn't possible. The format of the "ranges" proprety for a | 
|  | 639 | bus is a list of: | 
|  | 640 |  | 
|  | 641 | bus address, parent bus address, size | 
|  | 642 |  | 
|  | 643 | "bus address" is in the format of the bus this bus node is defining, | 
|  | 644 | that is, for a PCI bridge, it would be a PCI address. Thus, (bus | 
|  | 645 | address, size) defines a range of addresses for child devices. "parent | 
|  | 646 | bus address" is in the format of the parent bus of this bus. For | 
|  | 647 | example, for a PCI host controller, that would be a CPU address. For a | 
|  | 648 | PCI<->ISA bridge, that would be a PCI address. It defines the base | 
|  | 649 | address in the parent bus where the beginning of that range is mapped. | 
|  | 650 |  | 
|  | 651 | For a new 64 bit powerpc board, I recommend either the 2/2 format or | 
|  | 652 | Apple's 2/1 format which is slightly more compact since sizes usually | 
|  | 653 | fit in a single 32 bit word.   New 32 bit powerpc boards should use a | 
|  | 654 | 1/1 format, unless the processor supports physical addresses greater | 
|  | 655 | than 32-bits, in which case a 2/1 format is recommended. | 
|  | 656 |  | 
|  | 657 |  | 
|  | 658 | 2) Note about "compatible" properties | 
|  | 659 | ------------------------------------- | 
|  | 660 |  | 
|  | 661 | These properties are optional, but recommended in devices and the root | 
|  | 662 | node. The format of a "compatible" property is a list of concatenated | 
|  | 663 | zero terminated strings. They allow a device to express its | 
|  | 664 | compatibility with a family of similar devices, in some cases, | 
|  | 665 | allowing a single driver to match against several devices regardless | 
|  | 666 | of their actual names. | 
|  | 667 |  | 
|  | 668 | 3) Note about "name" properties | 
|  | 669 | ------------------------------- | 
|  | 670 |  | 
|  | 671 | While earlier users of Open Firmware like OldWorld macintoshes tended | 
|  | 672 | to use the actual device name for the "name" property, it's nowadays | 
|  | 673 | considered a good practice to use a name that is closer to the device | 
|  | 674 | class (often equal to device_type). For example, nowadays, ethernet | 
|  | 675 | controllers are named "ethernet", an additional "model" property | 
|  | 676 | defining precisely the chip type/model, and "compatible" property | 
|  | 677 | defining the family in case a single driver can driver more than one | 
|  | 678 | of these chips. However, the kernel doesn't generally put any | 
|  | 679 | restriction on the "name" property; it is simply considered good | 
|  | 680 | practice to follow the standard and its evolutions as closely as | 
|  | 681 | possible. | 
|  | 682 |  | 
|  | 683 | Note also that the new format version 16 makes the "name" property | 
|  | 684 | optional. If it's absent for a node, then the node's unit name is then | 
|  | 685 | used to reconstruct the name. That is, the part of the unit name | 
|  | 686 | before the "@" sign is used (or the entire unit name if no "@" sign | 
|  | 687 | is present). | 
|  | 688 |  | 
|  | 689 | 4) Note about node and property names and character set | 
|  | 690 | ------------------------------------------------------- | 
|  | 691 |  | 
|  | 692 | While open firmware provides more flexibe usage of 8859-1, this | 
|  | 693 | specification enforces more strict rules. Nodes and properties should | 
|  | 694 | be comprised only of ASCII characters 'a' to 'z', '0' to | 
|  | 695 | '9', ',', '.', '_', '+', '#', '?', and '-'. Node names additionally | 
|  | 696 | allow uppercase characters 'A' to 'Z' (property names should be | 
|  | 697 | lowercase. The fact that vendors like Apple don't respect this rule is | 
|  | 698 | irrelevant here). Additionally, node and property names should always | 
|  | 699 | begin with a character in the range 'a' to 'z' (or 'A' to 'Z' for node | 
|  | 700 | names). | 
|  | 701 |  | 
|  | 702 | The maximum number of characters for both nodes and property names | 
|  | 703 | is 31. In the case of node names, this is only the leftmost part of | 
|  | 704 | a unit name (the pure "name" property), it doesn't include the unit | 
|  | 705 | address which can extend beyond that limit. | 
|  | 706 |  | 
|  | 707 |  | 
|  | 708 | 5) Required nodes and properties | 
|  | 709 | -------------------------------- | 
|  | 710 | These are all that are currently required. However, it is strongly | 
|  | 711 | recommended that you expose PCI host bridges as documented in the | 
|  | 712 | PCI binding to open firmware, and your interrupt tree as documented | 
|  | 713 | in OF interrupt tree specification. | 
|  | 714 |  | 
|  | 715 | a) The root node | 
|  | 716 |  | 
|  | 717 | The root node requires some properties to be present: | 
|  | 718 |  | 
|  | 719 | - model : this is your board name/model | 
|  | 720 | - #address-cells : address representation for "root" devices | 
|  | 721 | - #size-cells: the size representation for "root" devices | 
| Benjamin Herrenschmidt | e822250 | 2006-03-28 23:15:54 +1100 | [diff] [blame] | 722 | - device_type : This property shouldn't be necessary. However, if | 
|  | 723 | you decide to create a device_type for your root node, make sure it | 
|  | 724 | is _not_ "chrp" unless your platform is a pSeries or PAPR compliant | 
|  | 725 | one for 64-bit, or a CHRP-type machine for 32-bit as this will | 
|  | 726 | matched by the kernel this way. | 
| David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 727 |  | 
|  | 728 | Additionally, some recommended properties are: | 
|  | 729 |  | 
|  | 730 | - compatible : the board "family" generally finds its way here, | 
|  | 731 | for example, if you have 2 board models with a similar layout, | 
|  | 732 | that typically get driven by the same platform code in the | 
|  | 733 | kernel, you would use a different "model" property but put a | 
|  | 734 | value in "compatible". The kernel doesn't directly use that | 
|  | 735 | value (see /chosen/linux,platform for how the kernel choses a | 
|  | 736 | platform type) but it is generally useful. | 
|  | 737 |  | 
|  | 738 | The root node is also generally where you add additional properties | 
|  | 739 | specific to your board like the serial number if any, that sort of | 
|  | 740 | thing. it is recommended that if you add any "custom" property whose | 
|  | 741 | name may clash with standard defined ones, you prefix them with your | 
|  | 742 | vendor name and a comma. | 
|  | 743 |  | 
|  | 744 | b) The /cpus node | 
|  | 745 |  | 
|  | 746 | This node is the parent of all individual CPU nodes. It doesn't | 
|  | 747 | have any specific requirements, though it's generally good practice | 
|  | 748 | to have at least: | 
|  | 749 |  | 
|  | 750 | #address-cells = <00000001> | 
|  | 751 | #size-cells    = <00000000> | 
|  | 752 |  | 
|  | 753 | This defines that the "address" for a CPU is a single cell, and has | 
|  | 754 | no meaningful size. This is not necessary but the kernel will assume | 
|  | 755 | that format when reading the "reg" properties of a CPU node, see | 
|  | 756 | below | 
|  | 757 |  | 
|  | 758 | c) The /cpus/* nodes | 
|  | 759 |  | 
|  | 760 | So under /cpus, you are supposed to create a node for every CPU on | 
|  | 761 | the machine. There is no specific restriction on the name of the | 
|  | 762 | CPU, though It's common practice to call it PowerPC,<name>. For | 
|  | 763 | example, Apple uses PowerPC,G5 while IBM uses PowerPC,970FX. | 
|  | 764 |  | 
|  | 765 | Required properties: | 
|  | 766 |  | 
|  | 767 | - device_type : has to be "cpu" | 
|  | 768 | - reg : This is the physical cpu number, it's a single 32 bit cell | 
|  | 769 | and is also used as-is as the unit number for constructing the | 
|  | 770 | unit name in the full path. For example, with 2 CPUs, you would | 
|  | 771 | have the full path: | 
|  | 772 | /cpus/PowerPC,970FX@0 | 
|  | 773 | /cpus/PowerPC,970FX@1 | 
|  | 774 | (unit addresses do not require leading zeroes) | 
|  | 775 | - d-cache-line-size : one cell, L1 data cache line size in bytes | 
|  | 776 | - i-cache-line-size : one cell, L1 instruction cache line size in | 
|  | 777 | bytes | 
|  | 778 | - d-cache-size : one cell, size of L1 data cache in bytes | 
|  | 779 | - i-cache-size : one cell, size of L1 instruction cache in bytes | 
|  | 780 | - linux, boot-cpu : Should be defined if this cpu is the boot cpu. | 
|  | 781 |  | 
|  | 782 | Recommended properties: | 
|  | 783 |  | 
|  | 784 | - timebase-frequency : a cell indicating the frequency of the | 
|  | 785 | timebase in Hz. This is not directly used by the generic code, | 
|  | 786 | but you are welcome to copy/paste the pSeries code for setting | 
|  | 787 | the kernel timebase/decrementer calibration based on this | 
|  | 788 | value. | 
|  | 789 | - clock-frequency : a cell indicating the CPU core clock frequency | 
|  | 790 | in Hz. A new property will be defined for 64 bit values, but if | 
|  | 791 | your frequency is < 4Ghz, one cell is enough. Here as well as | 
|  | 792 | for the above, the common code doesn't use that property, but | 
|  | 793 | you are welcome to re-use the pSeries or Maple one. A future | 
|  | 794 | kernel version might provide a common function for this. | 
|  | 795 |  | 
|  | 796 | You are welcome to add any property you find relevant to your board, | 
|  | 797 | like some information about the mechanism used to soft-reset the | 
|  | 798 | CPUs. For example, Apple puts the GPIO number for CPU soft reset | 
|  | 799 | lines in there as a "soft-reset" property since they start secondary | 
|  | 800 | CPUs by soft-resetting them. | 
|  | 801 |  | 
|  | 802 |  | 
|  | 803 | d) the /memory node(s) | 
|  | 804 |  | 
|  | 805 | To define the physical memory layout of your board, you should | 
|  | 806 | create one or more memory node(s). You can either create a single | 
|  | 807 | node with all memory ranges in its reg property, or you can create | 
|  | 808 | several nodes, as you wish. The unit address (@ part) used for the | 
|  | 809 | full path is the address of the first range of memory defined by a | 
|  | 810 | given node. If you use a single memory node, this will typically be | 
|  | 811 | @0. | 
|  | 812 |  | 
|  | 813 | Required properties: | 
|  | 814 |  | 
|  | 815 | - device_type : has to be "memory" | 
|  | 816 | - reg : This property contains all the physical memory ranges of | 
|  | 817 | your board. It's a list of addresses/sizes concatenated | 
|  | 818 | together, with the number of cells of each defined by the | 
|  | 819 | #address-cells and #size-cells of the root node. For example, | 
|  | 820 | with both of these properties beeing 2 like in the example given | 
|  | 821 | earlier, a 970 based machine with 6Gb of RAM could typically | 
|  | 822 | have a "reg" property here that looks like: | 
|  | 823 |  | 
|  | 824 | 00000000 00000000 00000000 80000000 | 
|  | 825 | 00000001 00000000 00000001 00000000 | 
|  | 826 |  | 
|  | 827 | That is a range starting at 0 of 0x80000000 bytes and a range | 
|  | 828 | starting at 0x100000000 and of 0x100000000 bytes. You can see | 
|  | 829 | that there is no memory covering the IO hole between 2Gb and | 
|  | 830 | 4Gb. Some vendors prefer splitting those ranges into smaller | 
|  | 831 | segments, but the kernel doesn't care. | 
|  | 832 |  | 
|  | 833 | e) The /chosen node | 
|  | 834 |  | 
|  | 835 | This node is a bit "special". Normally, that's where open firmware | 
|  | 836 | puts some variable environment information, like the arguments, or | 
|  | 837 | phandle pointers to nodes like the main interrupt controller, or the | 
|  | 838 | default input/output devices. | 
|  | 839 |  | 
|  | 840 | This specification makes a few of these mandatory, but also defines | 
|  | 841 | some linux-specific properties that would be normally constructed by | 
|  | 842 | the prom_init() trampoline when booting with an OF client interface, | 
|  | 843 | but that you have to provide yourself when using the flattened format. | 
|  | 844 |  | 
|  | 845 | Required properties: | 
|  | 846 |  | 
|  | 847 | - linux,platform : This is your platform number as assigned by the | 
|  | 848 | architecture maintainers | 
|  | 849 |  | 
|  | 850 | Recommended properties: | 
|  | 851 |  | 
|  | 852 | - bootargs : This zero-terminated string is passed as the kernel | 
|  | 853 | command line | 
|  | 854 | - linux,stdout-path : This is the full path to your standard | 
|  | 855 | console device if any. Typically, if you have serial devices on | 
|  | 856 | your board, you may want to put the full path to the one set as | 
|  | 857 | the default console in the firmware here, for the kernel to pick | 
|  | 858 | it up as it's own default console. If you look at the funciton | 
|  | 859 | set_preferred_console() in arch/ppc64/kernel/setup.c, you'll see | 
|  | 860 | that the kernel tries to find out the default console and has | 
|  | 861 | knowledge of various types like 8250 serial ports. You may want | 
|  | 862 | to extend this function to add your own. | 
|  | 863 | - interrupt-controller : This is one cell containing a phandle | 
|  | 864 | value that matches the "linux,phandle" property of your main | 
|  | 865 | interrupt controller node. May be used for interrupt routing. | 
|  | 866 |  | 
|  | 867 |  | 
|  | 868 | Note that u-boot creates and fills in the chosen node for platforms | 
|  | 869 | that use it. | 
|  | 870 |  | 
|  | 871 | f) the /soc<SOCname> node | 
|  | 872 |  | 
|  | 873 | This node is used to represent a system-on-a-chip (SOC) and must be | 
|  | 874 | present if the processor is a SOC. The top-level soc node contains | 
|  | 875 | information that is global to all devices on the SOC. The node name | 
|  | 876 | should contain a unit address for the SOC, which is the base address | 
|  | 877 | of the memory-mapped register set for the SOC. The name of an soc | 
|  | 878 | node should start with "soc", and the remainder of the name should | 
|  | 879 | represent the part number for the soc.  For example, the MPC8540's | 
|  | 880 | soc node would be called "soc8540". | 
|  | 881 |  | 
|  | 882 | Required properties: | 
|  | 883 |  | 
|  | 884 | - device_type : Should be "soc" | 
|  | 885 | - ranges : Should be defined as specified in 1) to describe the | 
|  | 886 | translation of SOC addresses for memory mapped SOC registers. | 
| Becky Bruce | 7d4b95a | 2006-02-06 14:26:31 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 887 | - bus-frequency: Contains the bus frequency for the SOC node. | 
|  | 888 | Typically, the value of this field is filled in by the boot | 
|  | 889 | loader. | 
|  | 890 |  | 
| David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 891 |  | 
|  | 892 | Recommended properties: | 
|  | 893 |  | 
|  | 894 | - reg : This property defines the address and size of the | 
|  | 895 | memory-mapped registers that are used for the SOC node itself. | 
|  | 896 | It does not include the child device registers - these will be | 
|  | 897 | defined inside each child node.  The address specified in the | 
|  | 898 | "reg" property should match the unit address of the SOC node. | 
|  | 899 | - #address-cells : Address representation for "soc" devices.  The | 
|  | 900 | format of this field may vary depending on whether or not the | 
|  | 901 | device registers are memory mapped.  For memory mapped | 
|  | 902 | registers, this field represents the number of cells needed to | 
|  | 903 | represent the address of the registers.  For SOCs that do not | 
|  | 904 | use MMIO, a special address format should be defined that | 
|  | 905 | contains enough cells to represent the required information. | 
|  | 906 | See 1) above for more details on defining #address-cells. | 
|  | 907 | - #size-cells : Size representation for "soc" devices | 
|  | 908 | - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent | 
|  | 909 | interrupts.  Typically this value is <2>, which includes a | 
|  | 910 | 32-bit number that represents the interrupt number, and a | 
|  | 911 | 32-bit number that represents the interrupt sense and level. | 
|  | 912 | This field is only needed if the SOC contains an interrupt | 
|  | 913 | controller. | 
|  | 914 |  | 
|  | 915 | The SOC node may contain child nodes for each SOC device that the | 
|  | 916 | platform uses.  Nodes should not be created for devices which exist | 
|  | 917 | on the SOC but are not used by a particular platform. See chapter VI | 
|  | 918 | for more information on how to specify devices that are part of an | 
|  | 919 | SOC. | 
|  | 920 |  | 
|  | 921 | Example SOC node for the MPC8540: | 
|  | 922 |  | 
|  | 923 | soc8540@e0000000 { | 
|  | 924 | #address-cells = <1>; | 
|  | 925 | #size-cells = <1>; | 
|  | 926 | #interrupt-cells = <2>; | 
|  | 927 | device_type = "soc"; | 
|  | 928 | ranges = <00000000 e0000000 00100000> | 
|  | 929 | reg = <e0000000 00003000>; | 
| Becky Bruce | 7d4b95a | 2006-02-06 14:26:31 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 930 | bus-frequency = <0>; | 
| David Gibson | c125a18 | 2006-02-01 03:05:22 -0800 | [diff] [blame] | 931 | } | 
|  | 932 |  | 
|  | 933 |  | 
|  | 934 |  | 
|  | 935 | IV - "dtc", the device tree compiler | 
|  | 936 | ==================================== | 
|  | 937 |  | 
|  | 938 |  | 
|  | 939 | dtc source code can be found at | 
|  | 940 | <http://ozlabs.org/~dgibson/dtc/dtc.tar.gz> | 
|  | 941 |  | 
|  | 942 | WARNING: This version is still in early development stage; the | 
|  | 943 | resulting device-tree "blobs" have not yet been validated with the | 
|  | 944 | kernel. The current generated bloc lacks a useful reserve map (it will | 
|  | 945 | be fixed to generate an empty one, it's up to the bootloader to fill | 
|  | 946 | it up) among others. The error handling needs work, bugs are lurking, | 
|  | 947 | etc... | 
|  | 948 |  | 
|  | 949 | dtc basically takes a device-tree in a given format and outputs a | 
|  | 950 | device-tree in another format. The currently supported formats are: | 
|  | 951 |  | 
|  | 952 | Input formats: | 
|  | 953 | ------------- | 
|  | 954 |  | 
|  | 955 | - "dtb": "blob" format, that is a flattened device-tree block | 
|  | 956 | with | 
|  | 957 | header all in a binary blob. | 
|  | 958 | - "dts": "source" format. This is a text file containing a | 
|  | 959 | "source" for a device-tree. The format is defined later in this | 
|  | 960 | chapter. | 
|  | 961 | - "fs" format. This is a representation equivalent to the | 
|  | 962 | output of /proc/device-tree, that is nodes are directories and | 
|  | 963 | properties are files | 
|  | 964 |  | 
|  | 965 | Output formats: | 
|  | 966 | --------------- | 
|  | 967 |  | 
|  | 968 | - "dtb": "blob" format | 
|  | 969 | - "dts": "source" format | 
|  | 970 | - "asm": assembly language file. This is a file that can be | 
|  | 971 | sourced by gas to generate a device-tree "blob". That file can | 
|  | 972 | then simply be added to your Makefile. Additionally, the | 
|  | 973 | assembly file exports some symbols that can be use | 
|  | 974 |  | 
|  | 975 |  | 
|  | 976 | The syntax of the dtc tool is | 
|  | 977 |  | 
|  | 978 | dtc [-I <input-format>] [-O <output-format>] | 
|  | 979 | [-o output-filename] [-V output_version] input_filename | 
|  | 980 |  | 
|  | 981 |  | 
|  | 982 | The "output_version" defines what versio of the "blob" format will be | 
|  | 983 | generated. Supported versions are 1,2,3 and 16. The default is | 
|  | 984 | currently version 3 but that may change in the future to version 16. | 
|  | 985 |  | 
|  | 986 | Additionally, dtc performs various sanity checks on the tree, like the | 
|  | 987 | uniqueness of linux,phandle properties, validity of strings, etc... | 
|  | 988 |  | 
|  | 989 | The format of the .dts "source" file is "C" like, supports C and C++ | 
|  | 990 | style commments. | 
|  | 991 |  | 
|  | 992 | / { | 
|  | 993 | } | 
|  | 994 |  | 
|  | 995 | The above is the "device-tree" definition. It's the only statement | 
|  | 996 | supported currently at the toplevel. | 
|  | 997 |  | 
|  | 998 | / { | 
|  | 999 | property1 = "string_value";	/* define a property containing a 0 | 
|  | 1000 | * terminated string | 
|  | 1001 | */ | 
|  | 1002 |  | 
|  | 1003 | property2 = <1234abcd>;	/* define a property containing a | 
|  | 1004 | * numerical 32 bits value (hexadecimal) | 
|  | 1005 | */ | 
|  | 1006 |  | 
|  | 1007 | property3 = <12345678 12345678 deadbeef>; | 
|  | 1008 | /* define a property containing 3 | 
|  | 1009 | * numerical 32 bits values (cells) in | 
|  | 1010 | * hexadecimal | 
|  | 1011 | */ | 
|  | 1012 | property4 = [0a 0b 0c 0d de ea ad be ef]; | 
|  | 1013 | /* define a property whose content is | 
|  | 1014 | * an arbitrary array of bytes | 
|  | 1015 | */ | 
|  | 1016 |  | 
|  | 1017 | childnode@addresss {	/* define a child node named "childnode" | 
|  | 1018 | * whose unit name is "childnode at | 
|  | 1019 | * address" | 
|  | 1020 | */ | 
|  | 1021 |  | 
|  | 1022 | childprop = "hello\n";      /* define a property "childprop" of | 
|  | 1023 | * childnode (in this case, a string) | 
|  | 1024 | */ | 
|  | 1025 | }; | 
|  | 1026 | }; | 
|  | 1027 |  | 
|  | 1028 | Nodes can contain other nodes etc... thus defining the hierarchical | 
|  | 1029 | structure of the tree. | 
|  | 1030 |  | 
|  | 1031 | Strings support common escape sequences from C: "\n", "\t", "\r", | 
|  | 1032 | "\(octal value)", "\x(hex value)". | 
|  | 1033 |  | 
|  | 1034 | It is also suggested that you pipe your source file through cpp (gcc | 
|  | 1035 | preprocessor) so you can use #include's, #define for constants, etc... | 
|  | 1036 |  | 
|  | 1037 | Finally, various options are planned but not yet implemented, like | 
|  | 1038 | automatic generation of phandles, labels (exported to the asm file so | 
|  | 1039 | you can point to a property content and change it easily from whatever | 
|  | 1040 | you link the device-tree with), label or path instead of numeric value | 
|  | 1041 | in some cells to "point" to a node (replaced by a phandle at compile | 
|  | 1042 | time), export of reserve map address to the asm file, ability to | 
|  | 1043 | specify reserve map content at compile time, etc... | 
|  | 1044 |  | 
|  | 1045 | We may provide a .h include file with common definitions of that | 
|  | 1046 | proves useful for some properties (like building PCI properties or | 
|  | 1047 | interrupt maps) though it may be better to add a notion of struct | 
|  | 1048 | definitions to the compiler... | 
|  | 1049 |  | 
|  | 1050 |  | 
|  | 1051 | V - Recommendations for a bootloader | 
|  | 1052 | ==================================== | 
|  | 1053 |  | 
|  | 1054 |  | 
|  | 1055 | Here are some various ideas/recommendations that have been proposed | 
|  | 1056 | while all this has been defined and implemented. | 
|  | 1057 |  | 
|  | 1058 | - The bootloader may want to be able to use the device-tree itself | 
|  | 1059 | and may want to manipulate it (to add/edit some properties, | 
|  | 1060 | like physical memory size or kernel arguments). At this point, 2 | 
|  | 1061 | choices can be made. Either the bootloader works directly on the | 
|  | 1062 | flattened format, or the bootloader has its own internal tree | 
|  | 1063 | representation with pointers (similar to the kernel one) and | 
|  | 1064 | re-flattens the tree when booting the kernel. The former is a bit | 
|  | 1065 | more difficult to edit/modify, the later requires probably a bit | 
|  | 1066 | more code to handle the tree structure. Note that the structure | 
|  | 1067 | format has been designed so it's relatively easy to "insert" | 
|  | 1068 | properties or nodes or delete them by just memmoving things | 
|  | 1069 | around. It contains no internal offsets or pointers for this | 
|  | 1070 | purpose. | 
|  | 1071 |  | 
|  | 1072 | - An example of code for iterating nodes & retreiving properties | 
|  | 1073 | directly from the flattened tree format can be found in the kernel | 
|  | 1074 | file arch/ppc64/kernel/prom.c, look at scan_flat_dt() function, | 
|  | 1075 | it's usage in early_init_devtree(), and the corresponding various | 
|  | 1076 | early_init_dt_scan_*() callbacks. That code can be re-used in a | 
|  | 1077 | GPL bootloader, and as the author of that code, I would be happy | 
|  | 1078 | do discuss possible free licencing to any vendor who wishes to | 
|  | 1079 | integrate all or part of this code into a non-GPL bootloader. | 
|  | 1080 |  | 
|  | 1081 |  | 
|  | 1082 |  | 
|  | 1083 | VI - System-on-a-chip devices and nodes | 
|  | 1084 | ======================================= | 
|  | 1085 |  | 
|  | 1086 | Many companies are now starting to develop system-on-a-chip | 
|  | 1087 | processors, where the processor core (cpu) and many peripheral devices | 
|  | 1088 | exist on a single piece of silicon.  For these SOCs, an SOC node | 
|  | 1089 | should be used that defines child nodes for the devices that make | 
|  | 1090 | up the SOC. While platforms are not required to use this model in | 
|  | 1091 | order to boot the kernel, it is highly encouraged that all SOC | 
|  | 1092 | implementations define as complete a flat-device-tree as possible to | 
|  | 1093 | describe the devices on the SOC.  This will allow for the | 
|  | 1094 | genericization of much of the kernel code. |

|  | 1097 | 1) Defining child nodes of an SOC | 
|  | 1098 | --------------------------------- | 
|  | 1099 |  | 
|  | 1100 | Each device that is part of an SOC may have its own node entry inside | 
|  | 1101 | the SOC node.  For each device that is included in the SOC, the unit | 
|  | 1102 | address property represents the address offset for this device's | 
|  | 1103 | memory-mapped registers in the parent's address space.  The parent's | 
|  | 1104 | address space is defined by the "ranges" property in the top-level soc | 
|  | 1105 | node. The "reg" property for each node that exists directly under the | 
|  | 1106 | SOC node should contain the address mapping from the child address space | 
|  | 1107 | to the parent SOC address space and the size of the device's | 
|  | 1108 | memory-mapped register file. | 
|  | 1109 |  | 
|  | 1110 | For many devices that may exist inside an SOC, there are predefined | 
|  | 1111 | specifications for the format of the device tree node.  All SOC child | 
|  | 1112 | nodes should follow these specifications, except where noted in this | 
|  | 1113 | document. | 
|  | 1114 |  | 
|  | 1115 | See appendix A for an example partial SOC node definition for the | 
|  | 1116 | MPC8540. | 
|  | 1117 |  | 
|  | 1118 |  | 
|  | 1119 | 2) Specifying interrupt information for SOC devices | 
|  | 1120 | --------------------------------------------------- | 
|  | 1121 |  | 
|  | 1122 | Each device that is part of an SOC and which generates interrupts | 
|  | 1123 | should have the following properties: | 
|  | 1124 |  | 
|  | 1125 | - interrupt-parent : contains the phandle of the interrupt | 
|  | 1126 | controller which handles interrupts for this device | 
|  | 1127 | - interrupts : a list of tuples representing the interrupt | 
|  | 1128 | number and the interrupt sense and level for each interupt | 
|  | 1129 | for this device. | 
|  | 1130 |  | 
|  | 1131 | This information is used by the kernel to build the interrupt table | 
|  | 1132 | for the interrupt controllers in the system. | 
|  | 1133 |  | 
|  | 1134 | Sense and level information should be encoded as follows: | 
|  | 1135 |  | 
|  | 1136 | Devices connected to openPIC-compatible controllers should encode | 
|  | 1137 | sense and polarity as follows: | 
|  | 1138 |  | 
|  | 1139 | 0 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled | 
|  | 1140 | 1 = active low level sensitive type enabled | 
|  | 1141 | 2 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled | 
|  | 1142 | 3 = active high level sensitive type enabled | 
|  | 1143 |  | 
|  | 1144 | ISA PIC interrupt controllers should adhere to the ISA PIC | 
|  | 1145 | encodings listed below: | 
|  | 1146 |  | 
|  | 1147 | 0 =  active low level sensitive type enabled | 
|  | 1148 | 1 =  active high level sensitive type enabled | 
|  | 1149 | 2 =  high to low edge sensitive type enabled | 
|  | 1150 | 3 =  low to high edge sensitive type enabled | 
|  | 1151 |  | 
|  | 1152 |  | 
|  | 1153 |  | 
|  | 1154 | 3) Representing devices without a current OF specification | 
|  | 1155 | ---------------------------------------------------------- | 
|  | 1156 |  | 
|  | 1157 | Currently, there are many devices on SOCs that do not have a standard | 
|  | 1158 | representation pre-defined as part of the open firmware | 
|  | 1159 | specifications, mainly because the boards that contain these SOCs are | 
|  | 1160 | not currently booted using open firmware.   This section contains | 
|  | 1161 | descriptions for the SOC devices for which new nodes have been | 
|  | 1162 | defined; this list will expand as more and more SOC-containing | 
|  | 1163 | platforms are moved over to use the flattened-device-tree model. | 
|  | 1164 |  | 
|  | 1165 | a) MDIO IO device | 
|  | 1166 |  | 
|  | 1167 | The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected.  For each | 
|  | 1168 | device that exists on this bus, a child node should be created.  See | 
|  | 1169 | the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define | 
|  | 1170 | a PHY. | 
|  | 1171 |  | 
|  | 1172 | Required properties: | 
|  | 1173 | - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device | 
|  | 1174 | - device_type : Should be "mdio" | 
|  | 1175 | - compatible : Should define the compatible device type for the | 
|  | 1176 | mdio.  Currently, this is most likely to be "gianfar" | 
|  | 1177 |  | 
|  | 1178 | Example: | 
|  | 1179 |  | 
|  | 1180 | mdio@24520 { | 
|  | 1181 | reg = <24520 20>; |

|  | 1186 | ...... | 
|  | 1187 | }; | 
|  | 1188 | }; | 
|  | 1189 |  | 
|  | 1190 |  | 
|  | 1191 | b) Gianfar-compatible ethernet nodes | 
|  | 1192 |  |

|  | 1195 | - device_type : Should be "network" | 
|  | 1196 | - model : Model of the device.  Can be "TSEC", "eTSEC", or "FEC" | 
|  | 1197 | - compatible : Should be "gianfar" |

|  | 1199 | - address : List of bytes representing the ethernet address of | 
|  | 1200 | this controller | 
|  | 1201 | - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a | 
|  | 1202 | field that represents an encoding of the sense and level | 
|  | 1203 | information for the interrupt.  This should be encoded based on | 
|  | 1204 | the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt | 
|  | 1205 | controller you have. | 
|  | 1206 | - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that | 
|  | 1207 | services interrupts for this device. | 
|  | 1208 | - phy-handle : The phandle for the PHY connected to this ethernet | 
|  | 1209 | controller. | 
|  | 1210 |  | 
|  | 1211 | Example: | 
|  | 1212 |  | 
|  | 1213 | ethernet@24000 { | 
|  | 1214 | #size-cells = <0>; | 
|  | 1215 | device_type = "network"; | 
|  | 1216 | model = "TSEC"; | 
|  | 1217 | compatible = "gianfar"; | 
|  | 1218 | reg = <24000 1000>; | 
|  | 1219 | address = [ 00 E0 0C 00 73 00 ]; | 
|  | 1220 | interrupts = <d 3 e 3 12 3>; | 
|  | 1221 | interrupt-parent = <40000>; | 
|  | 1222 | phy-handle = <2452000> | 
|  | 1223 | }; | 
|  | 1224 |  | 
|  | 1225 |  | 
|  | 1226 |  | 
|  | 1227 | c) PHY nodes | 
|  | 1228 |  | 
|  | 1229 | Required properties: | 
|  | 1230 |  | 
|  | 1231 | - device_type : Should be "ethernet-phy" | 
|  | 1232 | - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a | 
|  | 1233 | field that represents an encoding of the sense and level | 
|  | 1234 | information for the interrupt.  This should be encoded based on | 
|  | 1235 | the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt | 
|  | 1236 | controller you have. | 
|  | 1237 | - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that | 
|  | 1238 | services interrupts for this device. |

|  | 1249 | interrupts = <35 1>; | 
|  | 1250 | reg = <0>; | 
|  | 1251 | device_type = "ethernet-phy"; | 
|  | 1252 | }; | 
|  | 1253 |  | 
|  | 1254 |  | 
|  | 1255 | d) Interrupt controllers | 
|  | 1256 |  | 
|  | 1257 | Some SOC devices contain interrupt controllers that are different | 
|  | 1258 | from the standard Open PIC specification.  The SOC device nodes for | 
|  | 1259 | these types of controllers should be specified just like a standard | 
|  | 1260 | OpenPIC controller.  Sense and level information should be encoded | 
|  | 1261 | as specified in section 2) of this chapter for each device that | 
|  | 1262 | specifies an interrupt. | 
|  | 1263 |  | 
|  | 1264 | Example : | 
|  | 1265 |  | 
|  | 1266 | pic@40000 { | 
|  | 1267 | linux,phandle = <40000>; | 
|  | 1268 | clock-frequency = <0>; | 
|  | 1269 | interrupt-controller; | 
|  | 1270 | #address-cells = <0>; | 
|  | 1271 | reg = <40000 40000>; | 
|  | 1272 | built-in; | 
|  | 1273 | compatible = "chrp,open-pic"; | 
|  | 1274 | device_type = "open-pic"; | 
|  | 1275 | big-endian; | 
|  | 1276 | }; | 
|  | 1277 |  | 
|  | 1278 |  |

|  | 1294 | controller you have. | 
|  | 1295 | - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that | 
|  | 1296 | services interrupts for this device. |

|  | 1300 | uses the FSL 5200 clocking mechanism. | 
|  | 1301 |  | 
|  | 1302 | Example : | 
|  | 1303 |  | 
|  | 1304 | i2c@3000 { | 
|  | 1305 | interrupt-parent = <40000>; | 
|  | 1306 | interrupts = <1b 3>; | 
|  | 1307 | reg = <3000 18>; | 
|  | 1308 | device_type = "i2c"; | 
|  | 1309 | compatible  = "fsl-i2c"; | 
|  | 1310 | dfsrr; | 
|  | 1311 | }; |
