Description

Cypress Interrupt Multiplex

The PSoC-6 Cortex-M0+ NVIC can handle up to 32 interrupts. This means that
user can select up to 32 interrupts sources from the 240 possible vectors
to be processed in the Cortex-M0+ CPU.

At CPU Sub System (CPUSS) there are 8 special registers (intmux[0~7]) to
configure the 32 NVIC lines for Cortex-M0+ CPU. Each register handles up to
4 interrupt sources by grouping intmux channels. These means that each byte
from intmux[0~7] store a 'vector number' which selects the peripheral
interrupt source in the multiplexer. The multiplexer is placed before
Cortex-M0+ NVIC controller. Note that Cortex-M4 have all interrupt sources
directly connected to NVIC and doesn't require any special configuration.

On a general view, the below represents the Interrupt Multiplexer
configuration and how the Cortex-M0+ NVIC sources are organized. Each
channel chX represents a Cortex-M0+ NVIC line and it stores a vector number.
The vector number selects the PSoC-6 peripheral interrupt source for the
Cortex-M0+ NVIC controller line.

intmux[0] = {ch03, ch02, ch01, ch00}
intmux[1] = {ch07, ch06, ch05, ch04}
...
intmux[7] = {ch31, ch30, ch29, ch28}

In pratical terms, the Cortex-M0+ requires user to define all NVIC interrupt
sources and the proper NVIC interrupt order. With that, the system configures
the Cortex-M0+ Interrupt Multiplexer and interrupts can be processed.
More information about it at PSoC-6 Architecture Technical Reference Manual,
section CPU Sub System (CPUSS) Registers.


The below fragment configure the GPIO Port 0 to generate an interrupt at
Cortex-M0+ NVIC:

At psoc6.dtsi file the gpio_prt0 peripheral had the interrupt source 2:

gpio_prt0: gpio@40320100 {
  interrupts = <2 1>;
};

In order to enable gpio_prt0 interrupt at Cortex-M0+ an interrupt parent
must be defined at gpio_prt0 node selecting the Interrupt Multiplex Channel.
This can be defined at <board>_m0.dts file:

&gpio_prt0 {
  interrupt-parent = <&intmux_ch20>;
};

The translation of these two definitions is:
       CH   REGS  INT NUM    CH   CH/REG
intmux[20 mod 8] |= 0x02 << (20 mod 4);

These results in Cortex-M0+ NVIC line 20 handling PSoC-6 interrupt source 2.
The interrupt can be enabled/disable at NVIC at line 20 as usual.

Notes:
1) Multiple definitions will generate multiple interrutps
2) The interrupt sources are shared between Cortex-M0+/M4. These means, can
   trigger action in parallel in both processors.
3) User can change priority at Cortex-M0+ NVIC by changing interrupt channels
   at interrupt-parent properties.
4) Only the peripherals used by Cortex-M0+ should be configured.

wakeup-source

boolean

Property to identify that a device can be used as wake up source.

When this property is provided a specific flag is set into the
device that tells the system that the device is capable of
wake up the system.

Wake up capable devices are disabled (interruptions will not wake up
the system) by default but they can be enabled at runtime if necessary.

power-domain

phandle

Power domain the device belongs to.

The device will be notified when the power domain it belongs to is either
suspended or resumed.
