• GICv3&4 : What is the purpose of Direct Injection of Virtual Interrupts.?
    Hi Everyone, Its true that Hypervisor inserts interrupt in the virtual machine. But, GICv4 also tells that it supports direct injection of virtual interrupts  which means that, interrupt can be inserted...
  • Interrupt Routing flow in GICv3
    Hi all, GIC is quite an interesting topic and interrupt controller can also be said as an most important module in an SoC that routes interrupts to the Processor. We know that there different interrupt...
  • GICv3 -- accessing the redistributors of other cores
    In GICv2, per-core interrupts (SGIs and PPIs) are configured through banked registers in the distributor, which means that a core cannot access the configuration of the SGIs and PPIs of the other cores...
  • why the inter-core SGI interrupt cannot be trigged on GICv3 hardware
    My hareware environment: 1.  a ARMv8 processor , which  runs in 64bit EL3 and 32bit EL2&EL1. 2. a GICv3 interrupt controller Running in 32bit hyp mode,  I try to send a SGI interrupt from core0 to core1...
