 * Interrupt Assignments

 ==== System Peripherals
-* UART/Serial Console
-* Clocks
-* Timers
-* Watchdog Timers
+* *UART/Serial Console* +
+In order to facilitate the bringup and debug of the low level initial platform
+software(firmware, bootloaders, kernel etc), the platform shall implement a UART
+port compatible with PC16550D.
+* *Clock and Timers* +
What Clock refers to here? The oscillator to the system peripherals or the RTC which is optional for Linux2022 but has to be listed in the "Server extension"?
It refers to the hardware clock which is used to drive the counter and not the RTC.

Abner
 
+** Platforms shall provide a 10ns resolution 64-bit counter with strictly monotonic updates.
+** The counter shall have a minimum update frequency of 10MHz.
+** Platforms shall implement the time CSR.
+** Platforms shall advertise the timebase to the operating systems via the
+`timebase-frequency` DT property.
+** Platforms shall implement the
+https://lists.riscv.org/g/tech-privileged/message/404[Sstc] extension.
+** Platforms shall delegate the supervisor timer interrupt to 'S' mode and if
+the 'H' extension is implemented, the virtual supervisor timer interrupt to 'VS' mode.
+
+* Watchdog Timers +
+** Platforms shall implement a two stage watchdog timer.
+** The software shall periodically update the watchdog stage 1 value to a
+future moment.
+** If the mtime/time increments past the watchdog stage 1 compare value then an
+interrupt shall be raised and routed to a RISC V hart and the watchdog stage 2
+shall be activated.
+** If the mtime/time increments past the watchdog stage 2 compare value an
+interrupt shall be raised and routed to an external hardware unit such as a
+BMC to affect a system reset. If the watchdog stage1 compare value was updated
+before such an event occurred then the watchdog stage 1 interrupt shall be
+deasserted and the watchdog stage 2 shall be deactivated.
