Tegra124 SOCTHERM thermal management system The SOCTHERM IP block contains thermal sensors, support for polled or interrupt-based thermal monitoring, CPU and GPU throttling based on temperature trip points, and handling external overcurrent notifications. It is also used to manage emergency shutdown in an overheating situation. Required properties : - compatible : For Tegra124, must contain "nvidia,tegra124-soctherm". For Tegra132, must contain "nvidia,tegra132-soctherm". For Tegra210, must contain "nvidia,tegra210-soctherm". - reg : Should contain at least 2 entries for each entry in reg-names: - SOCTHERM register set - Tegra CAR register set: Required for Tegra124 and Tegra210. - CCROC register set: Required for Tegra132. - reg-names : Should contain at least 2 entries: - soctherm-reg - car-reg - ccroc-reg - interrupts : Defines the interrupt used by SOCTHERM - clocks : Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names. See ../clocks/clock-bindings.txt for details. - clock-names : Must include the following entries: - tsensor - soctherm - resets : Must contain an entry for each entry in reset-names. See ../reset/reset.txt for details. - reset-names : Must include the following entries: - soctherm - #thermal-sensor-cells : Should be 1. See ./thermal.txt for a description of this property. See for a list of valid values when referring to thermal sensors. - throttle-cfgs: A sub-node which is a container of configuration for each hardware throttle events. These events can be set as cooling devices. * throttle events: Sub-nodes must be named as "light" or "heavy". Properties: - nvidia,priority: Each throttles has its own throttle settings, so the SW need to set priorities for various throttle, the HW arbiter can select the final throttle settings. Bigger value indicates higher priority, In general, higher priority translates to lower target frequency. SW needs to ensure that critical thermal alarms are given higher priority, and ensure that there is no race if priority of two vectors is set to the same value. The range of this value is 1~100. - nvidia,cpu-throt-percent: This property is for Tegra124 and Tegra210. It is the throttling depth of pulse skippers, it's the percentage throttling. - nvidia,cpu-throt-level: This property is only for Tegra132, it is the level of pulse skippers, which used to throttle clock frequencies. It indicates cpu clock throttling depth, and the depth can be programmed. Must set as following values: TEGRA_SOCTHERM_THROT_LEVEL_LOW, TEGRA_SOCTHERM_THROT_LEVEL_MED TEGRA_SOCTHERM_THROT_LEVEL_HIGH, TEGRA_SOCTHERM_THROT_LEVEL_NONE - #cooling-cells: Should be 1. This cooling device only support on/off state. See ./thermal.txt for a description of this property. Note: - the "critical" type trip points will be set to SOC_THERM hardware as the shut down temperature. Once the temperature of this thermal zone is higher than it, the system will be shutdown or reset by hardware. - the "hot" type trip points will be set to SOC_THERM hardware as the throttle temperature. Once the the temperature of this thermal zone is higher than it, it will trigger the HW throttle event.
