1Samsung's Multi Core Timer (MCT) 2 3The Samsung's Multi Core Timer (MCT) module includes two main blocks, the 4global timer and CPU local timers. The global timer is a 64-bit free running 5up-counter and can generate 4 interrupts when the counter reaches one of the 6four preset counter values. The CPU local timers are 32-bit free running 7down-counters and generate an interrupt when the counter expires. There is 8one CPU local timer instantiated in MCT for every CPU in the system. 9 10Required properties: 11 12- compatible: should be "samsung,exynos4210-mct". 13 (a) "samsung,exynos4210-mct", for mct compatible with Exynos4210 mct. 14 (b) "samsung,exynos4412-mct", for mct compatible with Exynos4412 mct. 15 16- reg: base address of the mct controller and length of the address space 17 it occupies. 18 19- interrupts: the list of interrupts generated by the controller. The following 20 should be the order of the interrupts specified. The local timer interrupts 21 should be specified after the four global timer interrupts have been 22 specified. 23 24 0: Global Timer Interrupt 0 25 1: Global Timer Interrupt 1 26 2: Global Timer Interrupt 2 27 3: Global Timer Interrupt 3 28 4: Local Timer Interrupt 0 29 5: Local Timer Interrupt 1 30 6: .. 31 7: .. 32 i: Local Timer Interrupt n 33 34Example 1: In this example, the system uses only the first global timer 35 interrupt generated by MCT and the remaining three global timer 36 interrupts are unused. Two local timer interrupts have been 37 specified. 38 39 mct@10050000 { 40 compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-mct"; 41 reg = <0x10050000 0x800>; 42 interrupts = <0 57 0>, <0 0 0>, <0 0 0>, <0 0 0>, 43 <0 42 0>, <0 48 0>; 44 }; 45 46Example 2: In this example, the MCT global and local timer interrupts are 47 connected to two seperate interrupt controllers. Hence, an 48 interrupt-map is created to map the interrupts to the respective 49 interrupt controllers. 50 51 mct@101C0000 { 52 compatible = "samsung,exynos4210-mct"; 53 reg = <0x101C0000 0x800>; 54 interrupt-controller; 55 #interrups-cells = <2>; 56 interrupt-parent = <&mct_map>; 57 interrupts = <0 0>, <1 0>, <2 0>, <3 0>, 58 <4 0>, <5 0>; 59 60 mct_map: mct-map { 61 #interrupt-cells = <2>; 62 #address-cells = <0>; 63 #size-cells = <0>; 64 interrupt-map = <0x0 0 &combiner 23 3>, 65 <0x4 0 &gic 0 120 0>, 66 <0x5 0 &gic 0 121 0>; 67 }; 68 }; 69
