Although the XTAL itself is on the board, a user has no choice here to select the clock frequency. It must use the 24MHz and 32KHz XTALs, and the two frequencies can't be changed. This is the mandatory requirement. I understand, it's the same on many other boards. Still the clock is not part of SoC design. It is always on the board. iMX is not special here, so why would you expect here an exception? Best regards, Krzysztof
