The LPC (Low Pin Count) interface on a POWER8 is made accessible to
the system through the ADU (XSCOM interface). This interface is part
of set of units connected together via a local OPB (On-Chip Peripheral
Bus) which act as a bridge between the ADU and the off chip LPC
endpoints, like external flash modules.
The most important units of this OPB are :
- OPB Master: contains the ADU slave logic, a set of internal
registers and the logic to control the OPB.
- LPCHC (LPC HOST Controller): which implements a OPB Slave, a set of
internal registers and the LPC HOST Controller to control the LPC
interface.
Four address spaces are provided to the ADU :
- LPC Bus Firmware Memory
- LPC Bus Memory
- LPC Bus I/O (ISA bus)
- and the registers for the OPB Master and the LPC Host Controller
On POWER8, an intermediate hop is necessary to reach the OPB, through
a unit called the ECCB. OPB commands are simply mangled in ECCB write
commands.
On POWER9, the OPB master address space can be accessed via MMIO. The
logic is same but the code will be simpler as the XSCOM and ECCB hops
are not necessary anymore.
This version of the LPC controller model doesn't yet implement support
for the SerIRQ deserializer present in the Naples version of the chip
though some preliminary work is there.
