LiteX Clock Control Driver Sample¶
Introduction¶
This sample is providing an overview of LiteX clock control driver capabilities. The driver uses Mixed Mode Clock Manager (MMCM) module to generate up to 7 clocks with defined phase, frequency and duty cycle.
Requirements¶
LiteX-capable FPGA platform with MMCM modules (for example Digilent Arty A7 development board)
SoC configuration with VexRiscv soft CPU and Xilinx 7-series MMCM interface in LiteX (S7MMCM module)
Optional: clock output signals redirected to output pins for testing
Configuration¶
Basic configuration of the driver, including default settings for clock outputs, is held in Device Tree clock control nodes.
clk0: clock-controller@0 {
#clock-cells = <1>;
reg = <0>;
compatible = "litex,clkout";
clock-output-names = "CLK_0";
litex,clock-frequency = <100000000>;
litex,clock-phase = <0>;
litex,clock-duty-num = <1>;
litex,clock-duty-den = <2>;
litex,clock-margin = <1>;
litex,clock-margin-exp = <2>;
status = "disabled";
};
clk1: clock-controller@1 {
#clock-cells = <1>;
reg = <1>;
compatible = "litex,clkout";
clock-output-names = "CLK_1";
litex,clock-frequency = <100000000>;
litex,clock-phase = <0>;
litex,clock-duty-num = <1>;
litex,clock-duty-den = <2>;
litex,clock-margin = <1>;
litex,clock-margin-exp = <2>;
status = "disabled";
};
clock0: clock@82005000 {
compatible = "litex,clk";
label = "clock0";
reg = <0x82005000 0x1
0x82005004 0x1
0x82005008 0x1
0x8200500c 0x1
0x82005010 0x1
0x82005014 0x1
0x82005018 0x2
0x82005020 0x2>;
reg-names = "drp_reset",
"drp_locked",
"drp_read",
"drp_write",
"drp_drdy",
"drp_adr",
"drp_dat_w",
"drp_dat_r";
#clock-cells = <1>;
clocks = <&clk0 0>, <&clk1 1>;
clock-output-names = "CLK_0", "CLK_1";
litex,lock-timeout = <10>;
litex,drdy-timeout = <10>;
litex,sys-clock-frequency = <100000000>;
litex,divclk-divide-min = <1>;
litex,divclk-divide-max = <107>;
litex,clkfbout-mult-min = <2>;
litex,clkfbout-mult-max = <65>;
litex,vco-freq-min = <600000000>;
litex,vco-freq-max = <1200000000>;
litex,clkout-divide-min = <1>;
litex,clkout-divide-max = <126>;
litex,vco-margin = <0>;
status = "disabled";
};
This configuration defines 2 clock outputs: clk0 and clk1 with default frequency set to 100MHz, 0 degrees phase offset and 50% duty cycle. Special care should be taken when defining values for FPGA-specific configuration (parameters from litex,divclk-divide-min to litex,vco-margin).
Important note: reg properties in clk0 and clk1 nodes reference the clock output number (clkout_nr)
Driver Usage¶
The driver is interfaced with the Clock Control API function clock_control_on() and a LiteX driver specific structure:
-
struct
litex_clk_setup¶ Structure for interfacing with clock control API.
- Parameters
clkout_nr – Number of clock output to be changed
rate – Frequency to set given in Hz
phase – Phase offset in degrees
duty – Duty cycle of clock signal in percent
litex_clk_setup onto clock_control_subsys_t and use it with clock_control_on().clk0 frequency 50MHz, 90 degrees of phase offset and 75% duty cycle.struct device *dev;
int ret;
struct litex_clk_setup setup = {
.clkout_nr = 0,
.rate = 50000000,
.duty = 75,
.phase = 90
};
dev = DEVICE_DT_GET(MMCM);
clock_control_subsys_t sub_system = (clock_control_subsys_t*)&setup;
if ((ret = clock_control_on(dev, sub_system)) != 0) {
LOG_ERR("Set CLKOUT%d param error!", setup.clkout_nr);
return ret;
}
Clock output status (frequency, duty and phase offset) can be acquired with function clock_control_get_status() and clock output frequency only can be queried with clock_control_get_rate()
In both getter functions, basic usage is similar to clock_control_on(). Structure litex_clk_setup is used to set clkout_nr of clock output from which data is to be acquired.
Sample usage¶
This example provides a simple way of checking various clock output settings. User can pick one of 4 possible scenarios:
Frequency range,
Duty cycle range,
Phase range,
Setting frequency, duty and phase at once, then check clock status and rate,
Scenarios are selected by defining LITEX_CLK_TEST as one of:
LITEX_TEST_FREQUENCYLITEX_TEST_DUTYLITEX_TEST_PHASELITEX_TEST_SINGLE
Code is performed on 2 clock outputs with clkout_nr defined in LITEX_CLK_TEST_CLK1 and LITEX_CLK_TEST_CLK2. Tests are controlled by separate defines for each scenario.
Building¶
west build -b litex_vexriscv zephyr/samples/drivers/clock_control
Drivers prints a lot of useful debugging information to the log. It is highly recommended to enable logging and synchronous processing of log messages and set log level to Info.
