DM816x, C6A816x & AM389x Timers May Lock Up if TCLKIN Pin is Tied High, Even When GPIO Module is Selected
Revisions Affected: 1.1, 1.0
Details: Timers may sometimes lock up if the TCLKIN pin is tied high, even when the GPIO module is selected. If the TCLKIN pin is tied high (is not toggling/does not come to 0), TIMERs may lock up and may not be usable. This happens even if the TCLKIN pin is not selected by the pin control registers. The locks may be seen randomly on power up; i.e., it may be observed that some timers lock up and some do not.
Workaround: The TCLKIN pin must be driven to 0 on the board.
