1 * ARM Generic Interrupt Controller
3 ARM SMP cores are often associated with a GIC, providing per processor
4 interrupts (PPI), shared processor interrupts (SPI) and software
5 generated interrupts (SGI).
7 Primary GIC is attached directly to the CPU and typically has PPIs and SGIs.
8 Secondary GICs are cascaded into the upward interrupt controller and do not
11 Main node required properties:
13 - compatible : should be one of:
18 - interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller
19 - #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an
20 interrupt source. The type shall be a <u32> and the value shall be 3.
22 The 1st cell is the interrupt type; 0 for SPI interrupts, 1 for PPI
25 The 2nd cell contains the interrupt number for the interrupt type.
26 SPI interrupts are in the range [0-987]. PPI interrupts are in the
29 The 3rd cell is the flags, encoded as follows:
30 bits[3:0] trigger type and level flags.
31 1 = low-to-high edge triggered
32 2 = high-to-low edge triggered
33 4 = active high level-sensitive
34 8 = active low level-sensitive
35 bits[15:8] PPI interrupt cpu mask. Each bit corresponds to each of
36 the 8 possible cpus attached to the GIC. A bit set to '1' indicated
37 the interrupt is wired to that CPU. Only valid for PPI interrupts.
39 - reg : Specifies base physical address(s) and size of the GIC registers. The
40 first region is the GIC distributor register base and size. The 2nd region is
41 the GIC cpu interface register base and size.
44 - interrupts : Interrupt source of the parent interrupt controller on
45 secondary GICs, or VGIC maintenance interrupt on primary GIC (see
48 - cpu-offset : per-cpu offset within the distributor and cpu interface
49 regions, used when the GIC doesn't have banked registers. The offset is

55 compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-gic";
56 #interrupt-cells = <3>;
59 reg = <0xfff11000 0x1000>,
64 * GIC virtualization extensions (VGIC)
66 For ARM cores that support the virtualization extensions, additional
67 properties must be described (they only exist if the GIC is the
68 primary interrupt controller).
72 - reg : Additional regions specifying the base physical address and
73 size of the VGIC registers. The first additional region is the GIC
74 virtual interface control register base and size. The 2nd additional
75 region is the GIC virtual cpu interface register base and size.
77 - interrupts : VGIC maintenance interrupt.
