+===================
+RISC-V CPU Bindings
+===================
+
+The device tree allows to describe the layout of CPUs in a system through
+the "cpus" node, which in turn contains a number of subnodes (ie "cpu")
+defining properties for every cpu.
+
+Bindings for CPU nodes follow the Devicetree Specification, available from:
+
+https://www.devicetree.org/specifications/
+
+with updates for 32-bit and 64-bit RISC-V systems provided in this document.
+
+===========
+Terminology
+===========
+
+This document uses some terminology common to the RISC-V community that is not
+widely used, the definitions of which are listed here:
+
+* hart: A hardware execution context, which contains all the state mandated by
+  the RISC-V ISA: a PC and some registers.  This terminology is designed to
+  disambiguate software's view of execution contexts from any particular
+  microarchitectural implementation strategy.  For example, my Intel laptop is
+  described as having one socket with two cores, each of which has two hyper
+  threads.  Therefore this system has four harts.
+
+=====================================
+cpus and cpu node bindings definition
+=====================================
+
+The RISC-V architecture, in accordance with the Devicetree Specification,
+requires the cpus and cpu nodes to be present and contain the properties
+described below.
+
+- cpus node
+
+        Description: Container of cpu nodes
+
+        The node name must be "cpus".
+
+        A cpus node must define the following properties:
+
+        - #address-cells
+                Usage: required
+                Value type: <u32>
+                Definition: must be set to 1
+        - #size-cells
+                Usage: required
+                Value type: <u32>
+                Definition: must be set to 0
+
+- cpu node
+
+        Description: Describes a hart context
+
+        PROPERTIES
+
+        - device_type
+                Usage: required
+                Value type: <string>
+                Definition: must be "cpu"
+        - reg
+                Usage: required
+                Value type: <u32>
+                Definition: The hart ID of this CPU node
+        - compatible:
+                Usage: required
+                Value type: <stringlist>
+                Definition: must contain "riscv", may contain one of
+                            "sifive,rocket0"
+        - mmu-type:
+                Usage: optional
+                Value type: <string>
+                Definition: Specifies the CPU's MMU type.  Possible values are
+                            "riscv,sv32"
+                            "riscv,sv39"
+                            "riscv,sv48"
+        - riscv,isa:
+                Usage: required
+                Value type: <string>
+                Definition: Contains the RISC-V ISA string of this hart.  These
+                            ISA strings are defined by the RISC-V ISA manual.
+
+Example: SiFive Freedom U540G Development Kit
+---------------------------------------------
+
+This system contains two harts: a hart marked as disabled that's used for
+low-level system tasks and should be ignored by Linux, and a second hart that
+Linux is allowed to run on.
