Cortina systems Gemini platforms
The Gemini SoC is the project name for an ARMv4 FA525-based SoC originally
produced by Storlink Semiconductor around 2005. The company was renamed
later renamed Storm Semiconductor. The chip product name is Storlink SL3516.
It was derived from earlier products from Storm named SL3316 (Centroid) and
SL3512 (Bulverde).
Storm Semiconductor was acquired by Cortina Systems in 2008 and the SoC was
produced and used for NAS and similar usecases. In 2014 Cortina Systems was
in turn acquired by Inphi, who seem to have discontinued this product family.
Many of the IP blocks used in the SoC comes from Faraday Technology.
Required properties (in root node):
compatible = “cortina,gemini”;
Required nodes:
soc: the SoC should be represented by a simple bus encompassing all the
onchip devices, this is referred to as the soc bus node.syscon: the soc bus node must have a system controller node pointing to the
global control registers, with the compatible string
“cortina,gemini-syscon”, “syscon”;Required properties on the syscon:
- reg: syscon register location and size.
- #clock-cells: should be set to <1> - the system controller is also a
clock provider.
- #reset-cells: should be set to <1> - the system controller is also a
reset line provider.
The clock sources have shorthand defines in the include file:
<dt-bindings/clock/cortina,gemini-clock.h>The reset lines have shorthand defines in the include file:
<dt-bindings/reset/cortina,gemini-reset.h>timer: the soc bus node must have a timer node pointing to the SoC timer
block, with the compatible string “cortina,gemini-timer”
See: clocksource/cortina,gemini-timer.txtinterrupt-controller: the sob bus node must have an interrupt controller
node pointing to the SoC interrupt controller block, with the compatible
string “cortina,gemini-interrupt-controller”
