The MU also provides the ability -for one processor to signal the other processor using interrupts. - -Because the MU manages the messaging between processors, the MU uses -different clocks (from each side of the different peripheral buses). -Therefore, the MU must synchronize the accesses from one side to the -other. The MU accomplishes synchronization using two sets of matching -registers (Processor A-facing, Processor B-facing). - -Messaging Unit Device Node: -============================= - -Required properties: -------------------- -- compatible : should be "fsl,<chip>-mu", the supported chips include - imx6sx, imx7s, imx8qxp, imx8qm. - The "fsl,imx6sx-mu" compatible is seen as generic and should - be included together with SoC specific compatible. - There is a version 1.0 MU on imx7ulp, use "fsl,imx7ulp-mu" - compatible to support it. - To communicate with i.MX8 SCU, "fsl,imx8-mu-scu" could be - used for fast IPC -- reg : Should contain the registers location and length -- interrupts : Interrupt number. The interrupt specifier format depends - on the interrupt controller parent. -- #mbox-cells: Must be 2. - <&phandle type channel> - phandle : Label name of controller - type : Channel type - channel : Channel number - - This MU support 4 type of unidirectional channels, each type - has 4 channels. A total of 16 channels. Following types are - supported: - 0 - TX channel with 32bit transmit register and IRQ transmit - acknowledgment support. - 1 - RX channel with 32bit receive register and IRQ support - 2 - TX doorbell channel. Without own register and no ACK support. - 3 - RX doorbell channel. - -Optional properties: -------------------- -- clocks : phandle to the input clock. -- fsl,mu-side-b : Should be set for side B MU. - -Examples: --------- -lsio_mu0: mailbox@5d1b0000 { - compatible = "fsl,imx8qxp-mu"; - reg = <0x0 0x5d1b0000 0x0 0x10000>; - interrupts = <GIC_SPI 176 IRQ_TYPE_LEVEL_HIGH>; - #mbox-cells = <2>; -}; |
