Hi,
I am using the BBxM revC1, Ubuntu 12.04 with kernel 3.7.10-x10+.
Does anyone know if it is possible to run the BBxM at a different
voltage than the one stated?
For example running at lowest frequency (300MHz) the system reports:
|
root@arm:/# cat /sys/class/regulator/regulator.4/name
vdd_mpu_iva
root@arm:/# cat /sys/class/regulator/regulator.4/microvolts
1012500
root@arm:/# cat /sys/class/regulator/regulator.4/max_microvolts
1450000
root@arm:/# cat /sys/class/regulator/regulator.4/min_microvolts
600000

Is it possible to change that "1012500" to lets say "1000000" or
"900000"?*I am testing for reliability so I want to push the voltage as
low as possible.*
According to the BBxM datasheet page 59 (7.7.5) VDD1 (vdd_mpu_iva) may
be controlled using the SmartReflex controller (by I2C), configuring the
output voltage of the TPS65950 between 0.6V and 1.45V in steps of 12.5mV
(as stated before).
I know it may have to be done at Kernel cross-compiling stage, so
digging into the kernel source code I found in
<kernel>/arch/arm/mach-omap2/omap3xxx_data.c
Line:58

which makes sense based on the report. Is modyfing the numbers of
"#define OMAP3630_VDD_MPU_OPP50_UV1012500" going to actually change the
operating voltage at 300MHz?
Is there another place the parameters should be modified as well?
I know it may not be supported to tweak the kernel like this, but I am
wondering at which level it is possible to modify these parameters.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Luis
