[PATCH RFC v2 08/10] ARM: dts: cortina: Add CS7542 SoC and Securifi Almond+ board
From: Fil Dunsky via B4 Relay
Date: Tue Oct 06 2026 - 14:18:30 EST
From: Fil Dunsky <filipp.dunsky@xxxxxxxxx>
Add a minimal description of the Cortina Systems CS7542 SoC: the two
Cortex-A9 cores, SCU, GIC, global timer, private timer and watchdog,
PL310 L2 cache controller and the four on-chip UARTs.
The peripheral clock (APB) runs at 100, 150 or 170 MHz depending on the
boot strap pins. Until there is a driver for the global control block
that reads the straps, model it as a fixed clock whose rate is provided
by the board.
The Securifi Almond+ is a touchscreen Wi-Fi router with 512 MiB of DDR3,
512 MiB of NAND flash, a QCA8337 switch, QCA9880 and AR9580 Wi-Fi and an
ASM1042 USB 3.0 controller behind the SoC PCIe root ports. For now,
describe the memory, the console UART and a ramoops region, and reserve
the top 64 MiB of RAM which the vendor firmware hands to the packet
engine queue manager.
