The core control is exported via the CPUFreq driver - which has a number of different manual or automatic controls over the - rate the core is running at. - - There are two forms of the driver depending on the specific CPU and - how the clocks are arranged. The first implementation used as single - PLL to feed the ARM, memory and peripherals via a series of dividers - and muxes and this is the implementation that is documented here. A - newer version where there is a separate PLL and clock divider for the - ARM core is available as a separate driver. - - -Layout ------- - - The code core manages the CPU specific drivers, any data that they - need to register and the interface to the generic drivers/cpufreq - system. Each CPU registers a driver to control the PLL, clock dividers - and anything else associated with it. Any board that wants to use this - framework needs to supply at least basic details of what is required. - - The core registers with drivers/cpufreq at init time if all the data - necessary has been supplied. - - -CPU support ------------ - - The support for each CPU depends on the facilities provided by the - SoC and the driver as each device has different PLL and clock chains - associated with it. - - -Slow Mode ---------- - - The SLOW mode where the PLL is turned off altogether and the - system is fed by the external crystal input is currently not - supported. - - -sysfs ------ - - The core code exports extra information via sysfs in the directory - devices/system/cpu/cpu0/arch-freq. - - -Board Support -------------- - - Each board that wants to use the cpufreq code must register some basic - information with the core driver to provide information about what the - board requires and any restrictions being placed on it. - - The board needs to supply information about whether it needs the IO bank - timings changing, any maximum frequency limits and information about the - SDRAM refresh rate. - - - - -Document Author ---------------- - -Ben Dooks, Copyright 2009 Simtec Electronics -Licensed under GPLv2 |
