IMX8mm cpu-freq scaling issue

saurav-pandya — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 10:11:05 GMT

Hi NXP Team,

I am working on imx8mm and try to change CPU frequency but I did't get any sysfs entry to get information of CPU frequency and set CPU frequency.

$ ls /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/
cache cpuidle crash_notes_size node0 online regs topology
cpu_capacity crash_notes hotplug of_node power subsystem uevent

missing cpufreq folder to set or get frequency for CPU.

$ cpufreq-info
cpufrequtils 008: cpufreq-info (C) Dominik Brodowski 2004-2009
Report errors and bugs to cpufreq@vger.kernel.org, please.
analyzing CPU 0:
no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
analyzing CPU 1:
no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
analyzing CPU 2:
no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU
analyzing CPU 3:
no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU

Also apply above command but still error.

Please help me.

Thanks,

Saurav

what pmic and bsp version do you use?

Hi joanxie,

I used ROHM BD71847MWV and BSP version 5.15-kirkstone.

Thanks,

Saurav

The response from the R&D was that the ROHM PMIC board has been dropped in recent linux release, we only support NXP PMIC board by default for LPDDR4 EVK board. Customer may need to cherry pick the ROHM PMIC patch from older release by themselves.

what board do you use? is you PMIC design the same as nxp imx8mm lpddr4 with Rohm board?

Re: IMX8mm cpu-freq scaling issue

joanxie — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 01:44:20 GMT

what do you get when you use command

cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies

Re: IMX8mm cpu-freq scaling issue

saurav-pandya — Fri, 14 Jul 2023 05:33:18 GMT

used imx8mm board with rohm PMIC

Re: IMX8mm cpu-freq scaling issue

joanxie — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 08:14:43 GMT

what parameters under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/?

Re: IMX8mm cpu-freq scaling issue

saurav-pandya — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 09:51:09 GMT

that's folder isn't available in that directory

couldn't reproduce this on imx8mm ROMH board, if you add this in the dts file, should be get the device node
