Re: Clock / Timebase / Bus Frequencies Help
Hi Richard, Thanks for your response, i have fixed the problem. The problem was while U-boot is doing boardsetup it is filling incorrect frequencies which causes the problem.

Re: Clock / Timebase / Bus Frequencies Help
Scott, Thanks for that - you're right - redboot has the wrong crystal frequency in the cdl for our board. Cheers, Richard.

Re: Clock / Timebase / Bus Frequencies Help
Hi, Is it really hanging? Or is it just sending console output somewhere else? Try pinging the board after you think its hung. Can you ssh in and dmesg to find out what went wrong? I've had two problems similar to this recently. The first was that the serial clock frequency was wrong in the dts file. The second was schoolboy error when the console was handed over to ttyS1 when I was plugged in to ttyS0. If that all fails - put a scope on your serial port and see what its really doing. Good luck, Richard. [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I have a similar problem with custom MPC8360 board.

Clock / Timebase / Bus Frequencies Help
We've got an 8347 based board very similar to the A&M asp8347. Core clock is 400MHz. Bus clock is 2Hz. According to the data sheet for the 8347, the decrementer clock runs at a quarter of the rate of the bus clock. I have two questions: In arch/powerpc/boot/redboot-83xx.c, the timebase clock is passed to dt_fixup_cpu_clocks() as bi_busfreq / 16. If I leave it like this, my system clock runs approximately 4 times too fast. Can anyone point me in the direction of an explanation for the div by 16 rather than 4? If I change the call to dt_fixup_cpu_clocks so that bi_busfreq/4 is passed in, then the clock runs more accurately. However, its still not correct. This gives a decrementer frequency of Hz, but if I hard code the value to 6600Hz, the clock runs accurately. Can anyone shed any light on why the value passed in by the boot loader (redboot) seems to be inaccurate.
