| NVIDIA Tegra Hardware Synchronization Primitives (HSP) | |
| The HSP modules are used for the processors to share resources and communicate | |
| together. It provides a set of hardware synchronization primitives for | |
| interprocessor communication. So the interprocessor communication (IPC) | |
| protocols can use hardware synchronization primitives, when operating between | |
| two processors not in an SMP relationship. | |
| The features that HSP supported are shared mailboxes, shared semaphores, | |
| arbitrated semaphores and doorbells. | |
| Required properties: | |
| - name : Should be hsp | |
| - compatible | |
| Array of strings. | |
| one of: | |
| - "nvidia,tegra186-hsp" | |
| - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device. | |
| - interrupt-names | |
| Array of strings. | |
| Contains a list of names for the interrupts described by the interrupt | |
| property. May contain the following entries, in any order: | |
| - "doorbell" | |
| Users of this binding MUST look up entries in the interrupt property | |
| by name, using this interrupt-names property to do so. | |
| - interrupts | |
| Array of interrupt specifiers. | |
| Must contain one entry per entry in the interrupt-names property, | |
| in a matching order. | |
| - #mbox-cells : Should be 2. | |
| The mbox specifier of the "mboxes" property in the client node should | |
| contain two data. The first one should be the HSP type and the second | |
| one should be the ID that the client is going to use. Those information | |
| can be found in the following file. | |
| - <dt-bindings/mailbox/tegra186-hsp.h>. | |
| Example: | |
| hsp_top0: hsp@3c00000 { | |
| compatible = "nvidia,tegra186-hsp"; | |
| reg = <0x0 0x03c00000 0x0 0xa0000>; | |
| interrupts = <GIC_SPI 176 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; | |
| interrupt-names = "doorbell"; | |
| #mbox-cells = <2>; | |
| }; | |
| client { | |
| ... | |
| mboxes = <&hsp_top0 HSP_MBOX_TYPE_DB HSP_DB_MASTER_XXX>; | |
| }; |
