* 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>;
};
