PATCH 1/1 omap3: beagle: Use GPTIMERi 1 for clockevents

The current selection of the GPTIMER on was result of a hardware issue in early versions of the Beagleboards (Ax and B1 thru B4). [1] [2]

Its been long since the hardware issue has been fixed. This patch uses GPTIMER 1 for all newer board revisions incl. Beagleboard XM.

[2] Errata #7 at http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard#Errata

---

* The patch has been boot tested with Beagleboard-XM. Verified that GPTIMER1 is indeed being used.

* Browsing through the code, it appears that similar change could be applied for these boards:
- devkit8000
- omap3stalker
- omap3touchbook
However, I don't have access to any of these; or information on their revisions.
I can update this patch based on confirmations.

[sp] I didn't include a reason - because the problem may not
be reproducible on the public trees.

During tests performed in internal development trees, the BogoMIPS calculations @ 1GHz wouldn't go beyond "830-850" range. While there was no such inconsistency on OMAP3EVM.

After few days of debug GPTIMER12 came to be only difference. Tracing GPTIMER12 in the spec proved quite a challenge; the as timer is not included in the TRM and corresponding interrupt is marked reserved. Paul (in cc:) obviously had access to documents that we don't.

This patch is merely trying to bring parity in use of GPTIMER across OMAP3 boards (AND use documented IP) - taking note of many Beagleboards where current code is necessary.

I get a value of 1010 ?10 bogoMIPS consistently with .39 + dvfs patches. Having said that, this patch does seem to be an improvement, but has it actually been tested on real beagleboard hardware with a recent kernel? Especially on the boards affected by the capacitor issue on the external clock.

Hi Koen,

Probably obvious to anyone else here, but which dvfs patches?

I've only recently acquired an xm and hence wasn't following these threads. Don't suppose you could point me to a tree with them in or the relevant thread?

There are some other reasons to avoid GPTIMER12 when possible, which you should probably put in the patch description. The most important, in my view, is that the clock source for GPTIMER12 is much less frequency-stable than the clock sources for GPTIMER1. So using GPTIMER12 can result in major time skew over a fairly short interval.

I've been meaning to send a patch like this for some time, so I'm happy to see this fixed.

This fix will cause bad dependency issues with sys_timer.

This patch has a dependency to omap3_beagle_init_rev, which depends on the mux framework and gpio framework. Not cool for init_early. We just want to initialize sys_timer early without any complicated dependencies.

The best way to fix this is to set a separate machine ID for the properly working beagle boards like xm, then just set the .timer entry to omap3_timer for working beagle boards and omap3_secure_timer for non-working beagle boards. The rest of the board-*.c file can be shared.

The above assumes the patches in devel-timer branch where we no longer have the non-standard timer interface, but use the sys_timer entries instead like we should.

Sanjeev, want to take care of this? Machine ID update info is in linux/arch/arm/tools/mach-types.

This strategy will unfortunately involve patching bootloaders. But if the default is to use GPT12, it should work out okay.

Hopefully we won't have to do the same thing for the other Beagle-derived boards, Devkit8000, Touchbook, etc. etc. Then again, I suppose this will eventually just be another property passed in via DT, with a single machine ID.
