Is it possible to have both Arm cores running at different clock speed. Would seem logical, but can't find anything in docs other than using the independent WFI/WFE feature(s)

I have an application with requires M4 core running at high speed >180MHz for intermittant Ethernet/number intensive processing etc.
The M0 core for PWM/ low speed timing functions which could run of a 12MHz clock.

Want to keep the power consumption down.

Hi scjames,

What you heard is correct, you are not able to clock the two cores at independent clock speeds. Your voice is being heard though! The more we hear about this feature being wanted, the more we can bug the designers. ;)

Previous old posting says LPC43xx cores have common clock source ... pity would have been useful feature to keep power consumption down!!!
