How to get S32G2 A53 core clock?

[starface42]

Hello,

I am currently using the S32G2 A53 core.

I attempted to obtain the core clock by enabling CPU_FREQ in the Kernel config and using cpufrequtils, but it appears to be unsupported.

Can I verify if the core clock is currently set to 1GHz through the CPU registers?

As shown in the figure below, I tried to check by reading the MC_CGM_1 registers, but I am uncertain if these registers provide that information.

```

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

I am using BSP34.0.1. I have checked the values through the manual page you provided.

```

cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/a53/clk_rate
1000000000

```

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,

Which BSP version are you using? Under BSP38.0 we see the following information on regards of core clock frequency [Page 123, BSP38.0 User Manual for S32G2 Platforms]:

Please, let us know.
