ARM Microchip SoCs (aka AT91)
|
|
=============================
|
|
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
This document gives useful information about the ARM Microchip SoCs that are
|
|
currently supported in Linux Mainline (you know, the one on kernel.org).
|
|
|
|
It is important to note that the Microchip (previously Atmel) ARM-based MPU
|
|
product line is historically named "AT91" or "at91" throughout the Linux kernel
|
|
development process even if this product prefix has completely disappeared from
|
|
the official Microchip product name. Anyway, files, directories, git trees,
|
|
git branches/tags and email subject always contain this "at91" sub-string.
|

Linux kernel information
|
|
------------------------
|
|
Linux kernel mach directory: arch/arm/mach-at91
|
|
MAINTAINERS entry is: "ARM/Microchip (AT91) SoC support"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Device Tree for AT91 SoCs and boards
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
All AT91 SoCs are converted to Device Tree. Since Linux 3.19, these products
|
|
must use this method to boot the Linux kernel.
|
|
|
|
Work In Progress statement:
|
|
Device Tree files and Device Tree bindings that apply to AT91 SoCs and boards are
|
|
considered as "Unstable". To be completely clear, any at91 binding can change at
|
|
any time. So, be sure to use a Device Tree Binary and a Kernel Image generated from
|
|
the same source tree.
|
|
Please refer to the Documentation/devicetree/bindings/ABI.txt file for a
|
|
definition of a "Stable" binding/ABI.
|
|
This statement will be removed by AT91 MAINTAINERS when appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Naming conventions and best practice:
|
|
- SoCs Device Tree Source Include files are named after the official name of
|
|
the product (at91sam9g20.dtsi or sama5d33.dtsi for instance).
|
|
- Device Tree Source Include files (.dtsi) are used to collect common nodes that can be
|
|
shared across SoCs or boards (sama5d3.dtsi or at91sam9x5cm.dtsi for instance).
|
|
When collecting nodes for a particular peripheral or topic, the identifier have to
|
|
be placed at the end of the file name, separated with a "_" (at91sam9x5_can.dtsi
|
|
or sama5d3_gmac.dtsi for example).
|
|
- board Device Tree Source files (.dts) are prefixed by the string "at91-" so
|
|
that they can be identified easily. Note that some files are historical exceptions
|
|
to this rule (sama5d3[13456]ek.dts, usb_a9g20.dts or animeo_ip.dts for example).
