Subject: [PATCH v4 1/7] dt-bindings: remoteproc: Add MediaTek mt8196 VCP binding
Date: Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:04:40 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260427111446.22955-2-xiangzhi.tang@mediatek.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260427111446.22955-1-xiangzhi.tang@mediatek.com>
Add device tree binding for the MediaTek Video Companion Processor
(VCP), a RISC-V based coprocessor used for video processing and
multimedia tasks on mt8196 and future MediaTek SoCs.
The VCP is a heterogeneous multi-core processor that can contain
multiple RISC-V cores with different hart (hardware thread)
configurations. Key features:
- Supports both single-core and multi-core VCP configurations
- Each core can have 1 or 2 harts (hardware threads)
- Shared SRAM memory space partitioned among cores
- Communication via 5 dedicated mailbox channels for IPI messaging
- Integrated with SoC IOMMU for multimedia memory management
- Boot and power management coordinated with ARM Trusted Firmware
The binding defines both the top-level VCP device (with mailboxes,
interrupts, and power domains) and child nodes for individual VCP
cores (with SRAM allocation and hart configuration).
