For Axon: 0x0000012a + l) Xilinx IP cores + + The Xilinx EDK toolchain ships with a set of IP cores (devices) for use + in Xilinx Spartan and Virtex FPGAs. The devices cover the whole range + of standard device types (network, serial, etc.) and miscellanious + devices (gpio, LCD, spi, etc). Also, since these devices are + implemented within the fpga fabric every instance of the device can be + synthesised with different options that change the behaviour. + + Each IP-core has a set of parameters which the FPGA designer can use to + control how the core is synthesized. Historically, the EDK tool would + extract the device parameters relevant to device drivers and copy them + into an 'xparameters.h' in the form of #define symbols. This tells the + device drivers how the IP cores are configured, but it requres the kernel + to be recompiled every time the FPGA bitstream is resynthesized. + + The new approach is to export the parameters into the device tree and + generate a new device tree each time the FPGA bitstream changes. The + parameters which used to be exported as #defines will now become + properties of the device node. In general, device nodes for IP-cores + will take the following form: + + (name)@(base-address) { + compatible = "xlnx,(ip-core-name)-(HW_VER)" + [, (list of compatible devices), ...]; + reg = <(baseaddr) (size)>; + interrupt-parent = <&interrupt-controller-phandle>; + interrupts = < ... >; + xlnx,(parameter1) = "(string-value)"; + xlnx,(parameter2) = <(int-value)>; + }; + + (ip-core-name): the name of the ip block (given after the BEGIN + directive in system.mhs). Should be in lowercase + and all underscores '_' converted to dashes '-'. + (name): is derived from the "PARAMETER INSTANCE" value. + (parameter#): C_* parameters from system.mhs. The C_ prefix is + dropped from the parameter name, the name is converted + to lowercase and all underscore '_' characters are + converted to dashes '-'. + (baseaddr): the C_BASEADDR parameter. + (HW_VER): from the HW_VER parameter. + (size): equals C_HIGHADDR - C_BASEADDR + 1 + + Typically, the compatible list will include the exact IP core version + followed by an older IP core version which implements the same + interface or any other device with the same interface. + + 'reg', 'interrupt-parent' and 'interrupts' are all optional properties. + + For example, the following block from system.mhs: + + BEGIN opb_uartlite + PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_uartlite_0 + PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.b + PARAMETER C_BAUDRATE = 115200 + PARAMETER C_DATA_BITS = 8 + PARAMETER C_ODD_PARITY = 0 + PARAMETER C_USE_PARITY = 0 + PARAMETER C_CLK_FREQ = 50000000 + PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xEC100000 + PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xEC10FFFF + BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_7 + PORT OPB_Clk = CLK_50MHz + PORT Interrupt = opb_uartlite_0_Interrupt + PORT RX = opb_uartlite_0_RX + PORT TX = opb_uartlite_0_TX + PORT OPB_Rst = sys_bus_reset_0 + END + + becomes the following device tree node: + + opb-uartlite-0@ec100000 { + device_type = "serial"; + compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b"; + reg = <ec100000 10000>; + interrupt-parent = <&opb-intc>; + interrupts = <1 0>; // got this from the opb_intc parameters + current-speed = <d#115200>; // standard serial device prop + clock-frequency = <d#50000000>; // standard serial device prop + xlnx,data-bits = <8>; + xlnx,odd-parity = <0>; + xlnx,use-parity = <0>; + }; + + Some IP cores actually implement 2 or more logical devices. In this case, + the device should still describe the whole IP core with a single node + and add a child node for each logical device. The ranges property can + be used to translate from parent IP-core to the registers of each device. + (Note: this makes the assumption that both logical devices have the same + bus binding. If this is not true, then separate nodes should be used for + each logical device). The 'cell-index' property can be used to enumerate + logical devices within an IP core. For example, the following is the + system.mhs entry for the dual ps2 controller found on the ml403 reference + design. + + BEGIN opb_ps2_dual_ref + PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_ps2_dual_ref_0 + PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.a + PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xA9000000 + PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xA9001FFF + BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0 + PORT Sys_Intr1 = ps2_1_intr + PORT Sys_Intr2 = ps2_2_intr + PORT Clkin1 = ps2_clk_rx_1 + PORT Clkin2 = ps2_clk_rx_2 + PORT Clkpd1 = ps2_clk_tx_1 + PORT Clkpd2 = ps2_clk_tx_2 + PORT Rx1 = ps2_d_rx_1 + PORT Rx2 = ps2_d_rx_2 + PORT Txpd1 = ps2_d_tx_1 + PORT Txpd2 = ps2_d_tx_2 + END + + It would result in the following device tree nodes: + + opb_ps2_dual_ref_0@a9000000 { + ranges = <0 a9000000 2000>; + // If this device had extra parameters, then they would + // go here. + ps2@0 { + compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a"; + reg = <0 40>; + interrupt-parent = <&opb-intc>; + interrupts = <3 0>; + cell-index = <0>; + }; + ps2@1000 { + compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a"; + reg = <1000 40>; + interrupt-parent = <&opb-intc>; + interrupts = <3 0>; + cell-index = <0>; + }; + }; + + Also, the system.mhs file defines bus attachments from the processor + to the devices.
