-=======================================================
-Frequently asked questions about the sunxi clock system
-=======================================================
-
-This document contains useful bits of information that people tend to ask
-about the sunxi clock system, as well as accompanying ASCII art when adequate.
-
-Q: Why is the main 24MHz oscillator gatable? Wouldn't that break the
- system?
-
-A: The 24MHz oscillator allows gating to save power. Indeed, if gated
- carelessly the system would stop functioning, but with the right
- steps, one can gate it and keep the system running. Consider this
- simplified suspend example:
-
- While the system is operational, you would see something like::
-
- 24MHz 32kHz
- |
- PLL1
- \
- \_ CPU Mux
- |
- [CPU]
-
- When you are about to suspend, you switch the CPU Mux to the 32kHz
- oscillator::
-
- 24Mhz 32kHz
- | |
- PLL1 |
- /
- CPU Mux _/
- |
- [CPU]
-
- Finally you can gate the main oscillator::
-
- 32kHz
- |
- |
- /
- CPU Mux _/
- |
- [CPU]
-
-Q: Were can I learn more about the sunxi clocks?
-
-A: The linux-sunxi wiki contains a page documenting the clock registers,
- you can find it at
-
- http://linux-sunxi.org/A10/CCM
-
- The authoritative source for information at this time is the ccmu driver
- released by Allwinner, you can find it at
