nxp,ipwm
Description
NXP i.MX PWM controller.
This is the simple PWM timer block found across the i.MX application
processor family (i.MX27 onwards, including the i.MX8M series), referred to as
PWMv2 in the reference manuals and exposed as the "ipwm" driver by the MCUX
SDK. Each instance drives a single output from a 16-bit counter: the period is
taken from PWMPR and the duty cycle is fed to PWMSAR through a four-entry
sample FIFO.
It is unrelated to the FlexPWM block described by "nxp,imx-pwm", which is
organised into submodules with paired complementary outputs, deadtime
insertion and fault inputs, and which appears on the i.MX RT, MCX and LPC
families instead.
Linux describes the same hardware as "fsl,imx27-pwm". A distinct compatible is
used here because Zephyr's existing "fsl,imx27-pwm" driver is built on the
legacy device_imx HAL, which covers only i.MX6SX and i.MX7D, and because that
binding predates the three-cell PWM specifier that pwm_dt_spec requires.

Divider applied to the PWM root clock before it reaches the counter,
expressed as the actual division factor: 1 passes the clock through
unchanged. Valid range is 1 to 4096; the driver programs PWMCR.PRESCALER
with this value minus one.
The divider is static, so it fixes the counter rate reported by
pwm_get_cycles_per_sec() and therefore the longest period a consumer can
request. Leave it at the default unless a low PWM frequency needs a
counter slower than the root clock.
Default value: |
|
|
Keep the counter running in WAIT mode. Without this the counter is gated
as soon as the CPU executes WFI, which the idle thread does whenever no
thread is runnable, stopping the output.

Set the RDC permission for specified peripheral: Resource Domain Controller (RDC)
supports flexible configuration on IP’s access permission, each individual IP can,
for example, be configured as A-core only or M-core only. This property uses some
macros defined in 'include/zephyr/dt-bindings/rdc/imx_rdc.h' to configure current
peripheral's access permission.
For example to allow both A53 and M7 Core to have read/write permission to current
peripheral:
rdc = <(RDC_DOMAIN_PERM(A53_DOMAIN_ID, RDC_DOMAIN_PERM_RW)|\
RDC_DOMAIN_PERM(M7_DOMAIN_ID, RDC_DOMAIN_PERM_RW))>;

Information used to address the device. The value is specific to
the device (i.e. is different depending on the compatible
property).
The "reg" property is typically a sequence of (address, length) pairs.
Each pair is called a "register block". Values are
conventionally written in hex.
For details, see "2.3.6 reg" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.
This property is required. See Important properties for more information. |
|
|
Information about interrupts generated by the device, encoded as an array
of one or more interrupt specifiers. The format of the data in this property
varies by where the device appears in the interrupt tree. Devices with the same
"interrupt-parent" will use the same format in their interrupts properties.
For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.
This property is required. See Important properties for more information. |
|
|
Information about the device's clock providers. In general, this property
should follow conventions established in the dt-schema binding:
https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/main/dtschema/schemas/clock/clock.yaml
This property is required. |
|
|
Indicates the operational status of the hardware or other
resource that the node represents. In particular:
- "okay" means the resource is operational and, for example,
can be used by device drivers
- "disabled" means the resource is not operational and the system
should treat it as if it is not present
For details, see "2.3.4 status" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.
Legal values: See Important properties for more information. |
|
|
This property is a list of strings that essentially define what
type of hardware or other resource this devicetree node
represents. Each device driver checks for specific compatible
property values to find the devicetree nodes that represent
resources that the driver should manage.
The recommended format is "vendor,device", The "vendor" part is
an abbreviated name of the vendor. The "device" is usually from
the datasheet.
The compatible property can have multiple values, ordered from
most- to least-specific. Having additional values is useful when the
device is a specific instance of a more general family, to allow the
system to match the most specific driver available.
For details, see "2.3.1 compatible" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.
This property is required. See Important properties for more information. |

Optional names given to each register block in the "reg" property.
For example:
/ {
soc {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <1>;
uart@1000 {
reg = <0x1000 0x2000>, <0x3000 0x4000>;
reg-names = "foo", "bar";
};
};
};
The uart@1000 node has two register blocks:
- one with base address 0x1000, size 0x2000, and name "foo"
- another with base address 0x3000, size 0x4000, and name "bar"
|
|
|
Information used to define a mapping (or translation) between the address
space of a bus (the "child address space") and the address space of the
bus node's parent (the "parent address space").
The "ranges" property is typically empty, or a sequence of triplets
(child bus address, parent bus address, length).
If the "ranges" property is empty, it specifies that the parent and child
address spaces are identical and no address translation is required.
If the "ranges" property is not present in a bus node, it is assumed that
no mapping exists between children of the node and the parent address space.
For details, see "2.3.8 ranges" in Devicetree Specification v0.4.

|
|
Extended interrupt specifier for device, used as an alternative to
the "interrupts" property.
For details, see "2.4 Interrupts and Interrupt Mapping" in
Devicetree Specification v0.4.
|
|
|
Optional names given to each interrupt generated by a device.
The interrupts themselves are defined in either "interrupts" or
"interrupts-extended" properties.

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.
