imx6ull increase cpu frequency to 792MHz Hi, I built a Debian based OS with the current environment: Linux 6.6.58-rt45-0 - Mainline u-boot 2024.07 - Mainline I have a custom HW which has an imx6ull microprocessor. I based the device tree on imx6ul-14x14-evk.dtsi (uboot and kernel). My custom device tree inherits from "imx6ull.dtsi" I would like to know if I can use 792MHz or 900MHz for CPU freq. I've seen those frequencies are available on Device Tree definition: &cpu0 { clock-frequency = <900000000>; operating-points = < /* kHz uV */ 900000 1275000 792000 1225000 528000 1175000 396000 1025000 198000 950000 >; fsl,soc-operating-points = < /* KHz uV */ 900000 1250000 792000 1175000 528000 1175000 396000 1175000 198000 1175000 >; }; However, in my file system I do not have them available: root@imx6ull:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq 528000 root@imx6ull:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies 198000 396000 528000 Does it possible? Does it limited by HW, voltage or current input? I've seen other questions in the forum related to it but I did not find a clear answer: How to set imx6UL CPU to 528MHz in U-boot About changing the internal LDOs voltage in i.MX6DQ. How to set CPU frequency on u-boot? Thanks, Javier Re: imx6ull increase cpu frequency to 792MHz Hi, Thank you both four replies. Now I understand where the limitation comes from. The partnumber is MCIMX6Y2CVM05AB, therefore it is nothing to do here. I've checked the fuses and results match with @lapohab described. Regarding the software changes... I agree with @lapohab . By default all frequencies are available in the Device Tree, therefore, if it is supported by the soc, those frequencies must appear in user space and it would be possible to change the CPU frequency in running time. There is no need to hardcode only one frequency in the Device Tree. Thanks for the support Re: imx6ull increase cpu frequency to 792MHz It has been clearly described in the last post. This cannot be burned by yourself. It is burned during production testing. I attach it again. It says "Burned by tester program, forindicating IC core speed (Hotburn may not be used)." Industrial part and Consumer part have different life times. This is in i.MX 6ULL Product Usage Lifetime Estimates (AN5337). If you force a higher frequency in the software than its grade defined, the life time will inevitably be shortened. According to your idea, everyone should buy a cheaper Consumer part and burn it into an industrial part by themselves. It will save lots of money including my running projects. According to your idea, another case is just burn fuse of industrial part, it can run at 900M without life time impact. Why NXP does not have 900M industrial part? Why are there still different parts of different grades for sale? Remove the other frequencies? Have you ever tried it? Just looking at the code, it doesn't work. You can only modify the following code, but I think it is only for testing purpose. As I said before, If you force a higher frequency in the software, the life time will inevitably be shortened. if (of_machine_is_compatible("fsl,imx6ull")) { #if 0 if (val < OCOTP_CFG3_6ULL_SPEED_792MHZ) imx6x_disable_freq_in_opp(dev, 792000000); if (val != OCOTP_CFG3_6ULL_SPEED_900MHZ) imx6x_disable_freq_in_opp(dev, 900000000); #endif } Re: imx6ull increase cpu frequency to 792MHz Hi,
My idea was to remove the other frequencies before blowing the highlighted fuse. You could try to only add the 792MHz node in DTS, if not, you should modify the fuses if your part number matches the 08 code.
Regards, Re: imx6ull increase cpu frequency to 792MHz All frequencies are already in the device tree. The code will determine the chip type based on different fuses and then modify the DTB in real-time. https://github.com/nxp-imx/linux-imx/blob/lf-6.6.3-1.0.0/drivers/cpufreq/imx6q-cpufreq.c

} Re: imx6ull increase cpu frequency to 792MHz Hi Josheph, I have already available that operating point in my device tree, it is defined in imx6ull.dtsi, and by default is set to 900000000Hz. I decompiled the Device Tree in my running system and I can see the same configuration: cpus {
#address-cells = <0x01>;
#size-cells = <0x00>;
cpu@0 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a7";
clocks = <0x01 0x5d 0x01 0x1a 0x01 0x26 0x01 0xdb 0x01 0x38 0x01 0x39 0x01 0x19>;
nvmem-cells = <0x04>;
device_type = "cpu";
soc-supply = <0x03>;
arm-supply = <0x02>;
clock-names = "arm\0pll2_bus\0pll2_pfd2_396m\0secondary_sel\0step\0pll1_sw\0pll1_sys";
fsl,soc-operating-points = <0xdbba0 0x1312d0 0xc15c0 0x11edd8 0x80e80 0x11edd8 0x60ae0 0x11edd8 0x30570 0x11edd8>;
phandle = <0x37>;
reg = <0x00>;
clock-frequency = <0x35a4e900>; // 900000000 Hz
operating-points = <0xdbba0 0x137478 0xc15c0 0x12b128 0x80e80 0x11edd8 0x60ae0 0xfa3e8 0x30570 0xe7ef0>; //900000 - 1275000 ...
clock-latency = <0xee6c>;
#cooling-cells = <0x02>;
nvmem-cell-names = "speed_grade";
};
}; However, I do not have available 792MHz nor 900MHz from user space. And the system is running at 528MHz. I have exactly the same configuration in u-boot. What you mean with "modify the dts file" Which dts file? Do you mean leave only 900MHz frequency in DTS? Thanks, Javier Re: imx6ull increase cpu frequency to 792MHz Hi,
Thank you for your interest in NXP Semiconductor products,
If you want to run the i.MX6ULL at exact 900MHz, then for that you need to modify the dts file.
operating-points = <
/* kHz uV */ 900000 1275000
Regards
