+ARM Versatile Express boards family
+-----------------------------------
+
+ARM's Versatile Express platform consists of a motherboard and one
+or more daughterboards (tiles). The motherboard provides a set of
+peripherals. Processor and RAM "live" on the tiles.
+
+The motherboard and each core tile should be described by a separate
+Device Tree source file, with the tile's description including
+the motherboard file using a /include/ directive. As the motherboard
+can be initialized in one of two different configurations ("memory
+maps"), care must be taken to include the correct one.
+
+Required properties in the root node:
+- compatible value:
+ compatible = "arm,vexpress,<model>", "arm,vexpress";
+ where <model> is the full tile model name (as used in the tile's
+ Technical Reference Manual), eg.:
+ - for Coretile Express A5x2 (V2P-CA5s):
+ compatible = "arm,vexpress,v2p-ca5s", "arm,vexpress";
+ - for Coretile Express A9x4 (V2P-CA9):
+ compatible = "arm,vexpress,v2p-ca9", "arm,vexpress";
+ If a tile comes in several variants or can be used in more then one
+ configuration, the compatible value should be:
+ compatible = "arm,vexpress,<model>,<variant>", \
+ "arm,vexpress,<model>", "arm,vexpress";
+ eg:
+ - Coretile Express A15x2 (V2P-CA15) with Tech Chip 1:
+ compatible = "arm,vexpress,v2p-ca15,tc1", \
+ "arm,vexpress,v2p-ca15", "arm,vexpress";
+ - LogicTile Express 13MG (V2F-2XV6) running Cortex-A7 (3 cores) SMM:
+ compatible = "arm,vexpress,v2f-2xv6,ca7x3", \
+ "arm,vexpress,v2f-2xv6", "arm,vexpress";
+
+Optional properties in the root node:
+- tile model name (use name from the tile's Technical Reference
+ Manual, eg. "V2P-CA5s")
+ model = "<model>";
+- tile's HBI number (unique ARM's board model ID, visible on the
+ PCB's silkscreen) in hexadecimal transcription:
+ arm,hbi = <0xhbi>
+ eg:
+ - for Coretile Express A5x2 (V2P-CA5s) HBI-0191:
+ arm,hbi = <0x191>;
+ - Coretile Express A9x4 (V2P-CA9) HBI-0225:
+ arm,hbi = <0x225>;
+
+Top-level standard "cpus" node is required. It must contain a node
+with device_type = "cpu" property for every available core, eg.:
+
+ cpus {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ cpu@0 {
+ device_type = "cpu";
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a5";
+ reg = <0>;
+ };
+ };
+
+The motherboard description file provides a single "motherboard" node
+using 2 address cells corresponding to the Static Memory Bus used
+between the motherboard and the tile. The first cell defines the Chip
+Select (CS) line number, the second cell address offset within the CS.
+All interrupt lines between the motherboard and the tile are active
+high and are described using single cell.
+
+Optional properties of the "motherboard" node:
+- motherboard's memory map variant:
+ arm,v2m-memory-map = "<name>";
+ where name is one of:
+ - "rs1" - for RS1 map (i.a. peripherals on CS3); this map is also
+ referred to as "ARM Cortex-A Series memory map":
+ arm,v2m-memory-map = "rs1";
+ When this property is missing, the motherboard is using the original
+ memory map (also known as the "Legacy memory map", primarily used
+ with the original CoreTile Express A9x4) with peripherals on CS7.
+
+Motherboard .dtsi files provide a set of labelled peripherals that
+can be used to obtain required phandle in the tile's "aliases" node:
+- UARTs, note that the numbers correspond to the physical connectors
+ on the motherboard's back panel:
+ v2m_serial0, v2m_serial1, v2m_serial2 and v2m_serial3
+- I2C controllers:
+ v2m_i2c_dvi and v2m_i2c_pcie
+- SP804 timers:
+ v2m_timer01 and v2m_timer23
+
+Current Linux implementation requires a "arm,v2m_timer" alias
+pointing at one of the motherboard's SP804 timers, if it is to be
+used as the system timer. This alias should be defined in the
+motherboard files.
+
+The tile description must define "ranges", "interrupt-map-mask" and
+"interrupt-map" properties to translate the motherboard's address
+and interrupt space into one used by the tile's processor.
+
+Abbreviated example:
+
+/dts-v1/;
+
+/ {
+ model = "V2P-CA5s";
+ arm,hbi = <0x225>;
+ compatible = "arm,vexpress-v2p-ca5s", "arm,vexpress";
+ interrupt-parent = <&gic>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+
+ chosen { };
+
+ aliases {
+ serial0 = &v2m_serial0;
+ };
+
+ cpus {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ cpu@0 {
+ device_type = "cpu";
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a5";
+ reg = <0>;
+ };
+ };
+
+ gic: interrupt-controller@2c001000 {
+ compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-gic";
+ #interrupt-cells = <3>;
+ #address-cells = <0>;
+ interrupt-controller;
+ reg = <0x2c001000 0x1000>,
+ <0x2c000100 0x100>;
+ };
+
+ motherboard {
+ /* CS0 is visible at 0x08000000 */
+ ranges = <0 0 0x08000000 0x04000000>;
+ interrupt-map-mask = <0 0 63>;
+ /* Active high IRQ 0 is connected to GIC's SPI0 */
+ interrupt-map = <0 0 0 &gic 0 0 4>;
+ };
+};
