1 NVIDIA Tegra Boot and Power Management Processor (BPMP)
3 The BPMP is a specific processor in Tegra chip, which is designed for
4 booting process handling and offloading the power management, clock
5 management, and reset control tasks from the CPU. The binding document
6 defines the resources that would be used by the BPMP firmware driver,
7 which can create the interprocessor communication (IPC) between the CPU
11 - name : Should be bpmp
15 - "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp"
16 - mboxes : The phandle of mailbox controller and the mailbox specifier.
17 - shmem : List of the phandle of the TX and RX shared memory area that
18 the IPC between CPU and BPMP is based on.
19 - #clock-cells : Should be 1.
20 - #power-domain-cells : Should be 1.
21 - #reset-cells : Should be 1.
23 This node is a mailbox consumer. See the following files for details of
24 the mailbox subsystem, and the specifiers implemented by the relevant
27 - .../mailbox/mailbox.txt
28 - .../mailbox/nvidia,tegra186-hsp.txt
30 This node is a clock, power domain, and reset provider. See the following
31 files for general documentation of those features, and the specifiers
32 implemented by this node:
34 - .../clock/clock-bindings.txt
35 - <dt-bindings/clock/tegra186-clock.h>
36 - ../power/power_domain.txt
37 - <dt-bindings/power/tegra186-powergate.h>
39 - <dt-bindings/reset/tegra186-reset.h>
41 The BPMP implements some services which must be represented by separate nodes.
42 For example, it can provide access to certain I2C controllers, and the I2C
43 bindings represent each I2C controller as a device tree node. Such nodes should
44 be nested directly inside the main BPMP node.
46 Software can determine whether a child node of the BPMP node represents a device
47 by checking for a compatible property. Any node with a compatible property
48 represents a device that can be instantiated. Nodes without a compatible
49 property may be used to provide configuration information regarding the BPMP
50 itself, although no such configuration nodes are currently defined by this
53 The BPMP firmware defines no single global name-/numbering-space for such
54 services. Put another way, the numbering scheme for I2C buses is distinct from
55 the numbering scheme for any other service the BPMP may provide (e.g. a future
56 hypothetical SPI bus service). As such, child device nodes will have no reg
57 property, and the BPMP node will have no #address-cells or #size-cells property.
59 The shared memory bindings for BPMP
60 -----------------------------------
62 The shared memory area for the IPC TX and RX between CPU and BPMP are
63 predefined and work on top of sysram, which is an SRAM inside the chip.
65 See ".../sram/sram.txt" for the bindings.
