AM572x RTSC platform cpu frequency

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSBIOS

Here is what I know:

  • used the GEL:files provied by CCS.
  • GEL file will initialize the processor at the OPP_NOM level as default.
  • At OPP_NOM level, DSP's highest frequency is 600MHz.
  • I connected A15 first then the C66 DSP. But I used the C66x DSP only to debug some code.
  • The RTSC platform I used for C66x is evmAM572x and its corresponding CPU freq is 700MHz.
  • The Sysbios project I created with the RTSC platform has this property by default: BIOS.cpuFreq.lo = 700000000;

Here are my questions:

  • Can the value of BIOS.cpuFreq be different from the frequency defined in RTSC platform?
    • If it can, what's the effect?
  • I used OPP_NOM level for processor. So do I have to create a new RTSC platform in order to change its frequency to 600Mhz?
    • If I created one and changed the frequency, must I change the value of BIOS.cpuFreq.lo to 600000000?
    • or I can only change the BIOS.cpuFreq.lo without creating a new RTSC platform?
