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
14 - "nvidia,tegra186-bpmp"
15 - mboxes : The phandle of mailbox controller and the mailbox specifier.
16 - shmem : List of the phandle of the TX and RX shared memory area that
17 the IPC between CPU and BPMP is based on.
18 - #clock-cells : Should be 1.
19 - #power-domain-cells : Should be 1.
20 - #reset-cells : Should be 1.
22 This node is a mailbox consumer. See the following files for details of
23 the mailbox subsystem, and the specifiers implemented by the relevant
26 - .../mailbox/mailbox.txt
27 - .../mailbox/nvidia,tegra186-hsp.txt
29 This node is a clock, power domain, and reset provider. See the following
30 files for general documentation of those features, and the specifiers
31 implemented by this node:
33 - .../clock/clock-bindings.txt
34 - <dt-bindings/clock/tegra186-clock.h>
35 - ../power/power-domain.yaml
36 - <dt-bindings/power/tegra186-powergate.h>
38 - <dt-bindings/reset/tegra186-reset.h>
40 The BPMP implements some services which must be represented by separate nodes.
41 For example, it can provide access to certain I2C controllers, and the I2C
42 bindings represent each I2C controller as a device tree node. Such nodes should
43 be nested directly inside the main BPMP node.
45 Software can determine whether a child node of the BPMP node represents a device
46 by checking for a compatible property. Any node with a compatible property
47 represents a device that can be instantiated. Nodes without a compatible
48 property may be used to provide configuration information regarding the BPMP
49 itself, although no such configuration nodes are currently defined by this
52 The BPMP firmware defines no single global name-/numbering-space for such
53 services. Put another way, the numbering scheme for I2C buses is distinct from
54 the numbering scheme for any other service the BPMP may provide (e.g. a future
55 hypothetical SPI bus service). As such, child device nodes will have no reg
56 property, and the BPMP node will have no #address-cells or #size-cells property.
58 The shared memory bindings for BPMP
59 -----------------------------------
61 The shared memory area for the IPC TX and RX between CPU and BPMP are
62 predefined and work on top of sysram, which is an SRAM inside the chip.
64 See ".../sram/sram.txt" for the bindings.
