DM8148 CPU Speed

Hi,

I am trying to get my processor run at 1Ghz but I am not successful till now. I am using latest PSP release 4.4.0.1. I tried changing arm_dpll_ck clock rate as mentioned in this wiki page
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI81XX_PSP_PM_Clock_Framework_User_Guide#Change_Clock_Rate

but arm frequency seems to be hardcoded at 600Mhz. I then tried with the CPU frequency scaling option but it does not seems to work either.
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI81XX_PSP_PM_DVFS_User_Guide#Frequency_Scaling

while exploring on e2e forum I came across this thread (http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/davinci_digital_media_processors/f/716/t/139159.aspx) where mentioned that DM8148 are not marked to run on 1Ghz. Can anyone from TI side confirm this again?

Regards,

Ajay Bhargav

    Hi Ajay,

    The selection can be done by modifying the macro ARM_PLL_987/1200 based on the Frequency required defined in arch/arm/include/asm/arch-ti81xx/clocks_ti814x.h

    The link you've mentioned talk about TI816x only not TI814x. moreover i checked in the file arch/arm/include/asm/arch-ti81xx/clocks_ti816x.h (not 814x) of u-boot PSP release 4.4.0.1 and I did not find any Macro named "ARM_PLL_987" or 1200

    Can you please confirm which PSP release uses these Macros?

    Viet,

    Thank you so much, Link really helped. I Think my processor is not suppose to run at 1Ghz. I have the same part number that is mentioned in the post. But is it possiblet o overclock it to run at 900Mhz as mentioned in his post? I understand the risks involved.

    Regards,

    Hello Viet Dinh:

     I use:

    echo "Config Cortex A8 720MHZ..."
    #cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
    echo -n "userspace" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
    echo -n 720000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed

    and I see:

    root@dm814x-evm:~# cat  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_f
    requencies
    600000 720000 1000000

    So I cant  set 900Mhz,How do you get it ?

             Thansk.

    Hi Zhichao,

    What type is your DM8148 device? CYE1, CYE2 or else (for example, TMX320DM8148BCYE1)?

    Best regards,

    Hello Pavel :

        My DM8148 is CYE2,So accroding to datasheet Table 7-4. Device Operating Points (OPPs) ,It support 1G (1.35V)

       I only  use the following command  I can get the 1G speed rate.

    echo -n 1000000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed

    When run a decoder  application, use top commnd  to see the %CPU is lower than before.so run at 1G is ok.

    But:

    1、When run at 1G,I run a QT application,when  refresh the new picture the screen will dithering and then ok.

         So,wheather the LCD parameter should change  if  I update the CPU rate to 1G?

        My lcd parameter is :(/etc/init.d/load-hd-firmware.sh)

       echo 51200,1024/150/150/20,600/10/15/10,1 > /sys/devices/platform/vpss/display1/timings

      Thanks .

    Zhichao,

    I do not think that increasing the CPU freq from 600MHz to 1GHz should impact the LCD resolution&timing parameters.

    Can you try to increase the CPU with the approach from the below post, does it make any difference?
