cc'ing beagleboard list, Kevin Hi Richard, thanks for the patch. A quick question for you or anyone else who is experiencing this problem.

This looks like another reason why... Could you, or anyone else who is experiencing this problem on a board with a 26MHz oscillator try a quick test for me? I'm a little curious about the (M, N) of (443, 12) that SPRZ319E is recommending. Could you see if your USB problems are also solved by using (480, 13) ? ... Here's the rationale. Walking through the estimates here based on SPRZ319E, (443, 12) results in a frequency error of -166,667 Hz at the VCO output. This is 174 ppm below the desired target rate of 960MHz. But (480, 13) results in no frequency error. The downside of using (480, 13) is that the PLL update interval increases from 461 ns to 500 ns (+9%). But if the long-term drift of the DPLL is downward, then starting at a -174 ppm error has removed 35% of the total margin (+/- 500 ppm). This might be too naïve, but a downward drift, seems likely given that gate delay increases as temperature increases. Mainline is currently using (120, 13) which results in a VCO output frequency of 240MHz -- this presumably results in increased phase noise compared to (443, 12) and (480, 13) per SPRZ319E. - Paul
