| * ARM Nested Vector Interrupt Controller (NVIC) | |
| The NVIC provides an interrupt controller that is tightly coupled to | |
| Cortex-M based processor cores. The NVIC implemented on different SoCs | |
| vary in the number of interrupts and priority bits per interrupt. | |
| Main node required properties: | |
| - compatible : should be one of: | |
| "arm,v6m-nvic" | |
| "arm,v7m-nvic" | |
| "arm,v8m-nvic" | |
| - interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller | |
| - #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an | |
| interrupt source. The type shall be a <u32> and the value shall be 2. | |
| The 1st cell contains the interrupt number for the interrupt type. | |
| The 2nd cell is the priority of the interrupt. | |
| - reg : Specifies base physical address(s) and size of the NVIC registers. | |
| This is at a fixed address (0xe000e100) and size (0xc00). | |
| - arm,num-irq-priority-bits: The number of priority bits implemented by the | |
| given SoC | |
| Example: | |
| intc: interrupt-controller@e000e100 { | |
| compatible = "arm,v7m-nvic"; | |
| #interrupt-cells = <2>; | |
| #address-cells = <1>; | |
| interrupt-controller; | |
| reg = <0xe000e100 0xc00>; | |
| arm,num-irq-priority-bits = <4>; | |
| }; |
