HBus autoslow feature

[lategoodbye]

Hi,

i've compared Linux busfreq driver in FSL BSP between mx23 and mx28 . In the mx23 profile the h_autoslow_flags are greater 0, but in the mx28 profile they are always 0 (=unused from my understanding).

What's the reason for this?

Best regards

   Linux BSP for i.MX28 supports standard CPUFREQ feature in order
to configure several typical configurations for CPU and memory / bus
frequencies.

Have a great day,
Yuri

Hi Yuri,

let me clarify my question:

Why doesn't the mx28 busfreq driver make use of HBus autoslow feature?

Are there any drawbacks that leads to that descision?

[Yuri · Accepted solution]

   We do  not use the hardware auto-slow mode for the HBUS
(HW_CLKCTRL_HBUS[AUTO_SLOW_MODE] = 1).
Software (manual) approach is used instead. This allows
to re-configure correctly memory frequency too.

Regards,
Yuri.
