LAUNCHXL-F28379D: Clock is half of what is expected

Part Number: LAUNCHXL-F28379D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SYSCONFIG

Tool/software:

Hi,

I started a new development on LAUNCHXL-F28379D and strangely it seems that the clock is running at half of what is configured and expected. I double checked all clocks configurations but couldn't find any reason for that.

To verify this i loaded the CPU timers example (timer_ex1_cputimers) which configures the device to run 1sec interrupts and to increment counters on every interrupt. Monitoring the counters (with continuous refresh on the IDE) i can see that they are incrementing only every 2 seconds.

I am using CCS V20. Didn't change anything in the example code or in sysconfig. Just loaded it as is.

I wanted to output SYSCLK to a physical pin but XCLKOUT (GPIO73) is not available on LAUNCHXL-F28379D.

Any idea?

Thanks.

Timor

  • Hi,

    What are your PLL settings, Clock source and its frequency ?

    What is your PLL sysclk divider ?

    Thanks

  • I found that some clock definitions are set in device.h and that it is by default configured for the controlCARD with 20MHz clock (and not for the LAUNCHPAD with 10MHz clock). This ignores clock configurations made in SysConifg. Fixed it and now its ok. Thanks.
