The remaining two clocks (DIV and PLL) are not published in + * the device tree but can be obtained using calls to clk_get_parent on one + * of the output clocks. + * + * There are constraints on the input rate (fin), phase-frequency + * detector rate (pfd), the voltage controlled oscillator rate (vco) + * and output clock rates. These depend on FPGA family, clock primitive type + * and chip speed grade. + * + * The available ratios for the dividers and PLL multiplier depend on + * FPGA family and clock primitive type. MMCM primitves support fractional + * ratios for the PLL multipler and first output divider, whereas PLL + * primitives do not. Fractional ratios have a resolution of 0.125 (1/8) or 3 + * fractional bits. + * + * Clock ratios can be dynamically changed via two different register + * interfaces depending on how the "Write to DRP" configuration option is set + * when the clocking wizard IP is customized. This driver requires that + * the "Write to DRP" configuration option is disabled in customization + * as it currently uses the higher-level of the two register interfaces. */ #include <linux/platform_device.h> -- 2.15.1 (Apple Git-101) _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
