+title: T-HEAD TH1520 AON (Always-On) Firmware Node
+
+description: |
+ The Always-On (AON) subsystem in the TH1520 SoC is responsible for managing
+ low-power states, system wakeup events, and power management tasks. It is
+ designed to operate independently in a dedicated power domain, allowing it to
+ remain functional even during the SoC's deep sleep states.
+
+ At the heart of the AON subsystem is the E902, a low-power core that executes
+ firmware responsible for coordinating tasks such as power domain control,
+ clock management, and system wakeup signaling. Communication between the main
+ SoC and the AON subsystem is handled through a mailbox interface, which
+ enables message-based interactions with the AON firmware.

The kernel communicates with the E902 core through the mailbox transport using AON firmware protocol. Add dt-bindings to document it the dt node.
