Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: timer: Add ARM SSE(Subsystems for Embedded) timer
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2025 23:24:28 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250821152429.26995-2-jszhang@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250821152429.26995-1-jszhang@kernel.org>
Add binding doc for the ARM SSE(Subsystems for Embedded) timer. Here
is the document URL:
https://developer.arm.com/documentation/107610/0000/System-timer-components?lang=en
Although the IP is mostly seen on MCU SoC platforms, but nothing
prevent it from being integrated into linux capable SoC platforms.
The IP core may have a system counter to generate timestamp value,
a system timer to raise an interrupt when a period has elapsed, and
a System Watchdog to detect errant system behaviour then reset the
system if a period elapses without ping.
