Subject: [PATCH v3 02/14] hw/timer: Make PERIPHCLK divider configurable
Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 11:17:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251015091729.33761-3-corvin.koehne@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251015091729.33761-1-corvin.koehne@gmail.com>
From: YannickV <Y.Vossen@beckhoff.com>
The A9 global timer and ARM MP timer use PERIPHCLK as
their clock source. The frequency of PERIPHCLK is derived
by dividing the main clock (CLK) by a configurable
divider (must be at least 2). Previously, the PERIPHCLK
divider was not configurable, which could lead to
unexspected behavior if the application exspected a
different PERIPHCLK rate.
The property periphclk-divider specifies by which value
the main clock is divided to generate PERIPHCLK. This
allows flexible configuration of the timer clocks to
match application requirements.
Information can be found in the Zynq 7000 Soc Technical
Reference Manual under Timers.
