* ARM Nested Vector Interrupt Controller (NVIC) The NVIC provides an interrupt controller that is tightly coupled to Cortex-M based processor cores. The NVIC implemented on different SoCs vary in the number of interrupts and priority bits per interrupt. Main node required properties: - compatible : should be one of: "arm,v6m-nvic" "arm,v7m-nvic" "arm,v8m-nvic" - interrupt-controller : Identifies the node as an interrupt controller - #interrupt-cells : Specifies the number of cells needed to encode an interrupt source. The type shall be a <u32> and the value shall be 2. The 1st cell contains the interrupt number for the interrupt type. The 2nd cell is the priority of the interrupt. - reg : Specifies base physical address(s) and size of the NVIC registers. This is at a fixed address (0xe000e100) and size (0xc00). - arm,num-irq-priority-bits: The number of priority bits implemented by the given SoC Example: intc: interrupt-controller@e000e100 { compatible = "arm,v7m-nvic"; #interrupt-cells = <2>; #address-cells = <1>; interrupt-controller; reg = <0xe000e100 0xc00>; arm,num-irq-priority-bits = <4>; };
