+title: SiFive Platform-Level Interrupt Controller (PLIC)
+
+description:
+ SiFive SOCs include an implementation of the Platform-Level Interrupt Controller
+ (PLIC) high-level specification in the RISC-V Privileged Architecture
+ specification. The PLIC connects all external interrupts in the system to all
+ hart contexts in the system, via the external interrupt source in each hart.
+
+ A hart context is a privilege mode in a hardware execution thread. For example,
+ in an 4 core system with 2-way SMT, you have 8 harts and probably at least two
+ privilege modes per hart; machine mode and supervisor mode.
+
+ Each interrupt can be enabled on per-context basis. Any context can claim
+ a pending enabled interrupt and then release it once it has been handled.
+
+ Each interrupt has a configurable priority. Higher priority interrupts are
+ serviced first. Each context can specify a priority threshold. Interrupts
+ with priority below this threshold will not cause the PLIC to raise its
+ interrupt line leading to the context.
+
+ While the PLIC supports both edge-triggered and level-triggered interrupts,
+ interrupt handlers are oblivious to this distinction and therefore it is not
+ specified in the PLIC device-tree binding.
+
+ While the RISC-V ISA doesn't specify a memory layout for the PLIC, the
+ "sifive,plic-1.0.0" device is a concrete implementation of the PLIC that
+ contains a specific memory layout, which is documented in chapter 8 of the
+ SiFive U5 Coreplex Series Manual <https://static.dev.sifive.com/U54-MC-RVCoreIP.pdf>.
