title: SiFive Platform-Level Interrupt Controller (PLIC)
description:
SiFive SoCs and other RISC-V SoCs include an implementation of the
Platform-Level Interrupt Controller (PLIC) high-level specification in
the RISC-V Privileged Architecture specification. The PLIC connects all
external interrupts in the system to all hart contexts in the system, via
the external interrupt source in each hart.
A hart context is a privilege mode in a hardware execution thread. For example,
in an 4 core system with 2-way SMT, you have 8 harts and probably at least two
privilege modes per hart; machine mode and supervisor mode.
Each interrupt can be enabled on per-context basis. Any context can claim
a pending enabled interrupt and then release it once it has been handled.
Each interrupt has a configurable priority. Higher priority interrupts are
serviced first. Each context can specify a priority threshold. Interrupts
with priority below this threshold will not cause the PLIC to raise its
interrupt line leading to the context.
While the PLIC supports both edge-triggered and level-triggered interrupts,
interrupt handlers are oblivious to this distinction and therefore it is not
specified in the PLIC device-tree binding.
While the RISC-V ISA doesn't specify a memory layout for the PLIC, the
"sifive,plic-1.0.0" device is a concrete implementation of the PLIC that
contains a specific memory layout, which is documented in chapter 8 of the
SiFive U5 Coreplex Series Manual <https://static.dev.sifive.com/U54-MC-RVCoreIP.pdf>.
