VDD_ARM_CAP on 3.14.28

[adrianmcgrath]

Hello All

I've been looking through postings on this and other forums for fixes to behaviour described as instability. During this process I was pointed to this posting:

The reason i.MX6DQ VDD_ARM_CAP setting was changed by L3.10.53_1.1.0-ga.

I'm using Kernel 3.14.28 (Yocto Fido) and checked on the status of the VDD_ARM_CAP voltage setting as described by Satoshi Shimoda in Sept 2015. Satoshi highlights line 33 in arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6q.dtsi which refers to the following section:

operating-points = <

     /*     kHz               uV */

           1200000           1275000

           996000            1250000

           852000            1250000

           792000            1175000           <== Value updated to increase stability

           396000            975000

>;

So my question is do any of the other values in this (or a related) section need to be updated for improved stability if operating at the higher clock frequencies?

Many thanks in advance.

The highest possible operating clock frequency of 1.2GHz (1200000kHz) is already listed here, so, no other values should be updated.

Have a great day,
Artur

Hi Artur

Thank you for your response.

From Satoshi's original question "operating-points" relates to VDD_ARM_CAP.

Would you be able to confirm what symbols in the datasheet the term "fsl,soc-operating-points" refers to?

i.e.

1) Does "operating-points" relate to other datasheet symbols as well as VDD_ARM_CAP?

2) Does "fsl,soc-operating-points" refer to datasheet symbols VDD_ARM_IN, VDD_ARM23_IN, VDD_SOC_IN or something else?

Many thanks
