Hi Neil, Glad to see the mainline efforts of this SoC family. Previously, I did not really understand what this "RPS" stood for. After some digging(1)., now I believe it means ARM's Reference Peripheral Specification though the spec itself seems not publicly available, the peripheral specs are accessible. The interrupt controller is an AMBA Interrupt Controller(2) and the timers are AMBA Timer(3). Besides, ARM Dual-Timer Module (SP804)(4) looks like an extended version of the AMBA timer 1) http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.dai0030a/DAI0030A_sw_int_ap psnote.pdf 2) http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ddi0047d/DDI0047.pdf 3) http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ddi0049c/AMBA_Timer.pdf 4) http://infocenter.arm.com/help/topic/com.arm.doc.ddi0271d/DDI0271.pdf Regards, HaijunHi Haijun, Thanks for the tips ! Indeed the timer looks like the timer-sp804 actually upstream, I'll try this driver before posting a v2. Concerning the IRQ controller, I did not find any similar drivers. Marc, Arnd, should I create a specific "arm RPS irq controller" instead ?
Why not - I wonder which HW this controller got slapped on... It doesn't even have a cryptic name! ;-) Thanks, M. -- Jazz is not dead. It just smells funny...
