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>. - -Required properties: -- compatible : "sifive,plic-1.0.0" and a string identifying the actual - detailed implementation in case that specific bugs need to be worked around. -- #address-cells : should be <0> or more. -- #interrupt-cells : should be <1> or more. -- interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller. -- reg : Should contain 1 register range (address and length). -- interrupts-extended : Specifies which contexts are connected to the PLIC, - with "-1" specifying that a context is not present. Each node pointed - to should be a riscv,cpu-intc node, which has a riscv node as parent. -- riscv,ndev: Specifies how many external interrupts are supported by - this controller. - -Example: - - plic: interrupt-controller@c000000 { - #address-cells = <0>; - #interrupt-cells = <1>; - compatible = "sifive,plic-1.0.0", "sifive,fu540-c000-plic"; - interrupt-controller; - interrupts-extended = < - &cpu0-intc 11 - &cpu1-intc 11 &cpu1-intc 9 - &cpu2-intc 11 &cpu2-intc 9 - &cpu3-intc 11 &cpu3-intc 9 - &cpu4-intc 11 &cpu4-intc 9>; - reg = <0xc000000 0x4000000>; - riscv,ndev = <10>; - }; |
