TDA4VM: How to change the cpu frequence ?

Veitch Kyrie

Part Number: TDA4VM

Hi TI,

Currently we found the default cpu highest frequency of A72 is 2GHz, which is too higher for us since we want to reduce power consumption, but I can't find where to configure it? could you please show me? thanks

Hi Veitch,

You can also reduce the clock of A72 dynamically using the k3conf tool.

The following 2 steps:

1) /*set PLL8_SS_CTRL Register bit[0]. */
devmem2 0x688040 w 0x80000001

2) /* Set the clock to 1GHz */
k3conf set clock 202 2 1000000000

If no other questions please click on verify answer.

Best Regards,
Keerthy
