I've asked this question on this forum before but it did not get answered. I tried asking the same question in the U-Boot forum with no results. So, I am going to try this again.
According to section 4.1.2 on Page 4-4 in the MPC8280 User's Manual, one should be able to use a combination of external clocks on Port C pins 25, 26, 27 and 29, the CPM cloak and BRG1 to generate a 32KHz or a 4MHz clock. I am unable to find any code in u-boot or any other place that initializes any of these pins to be external clocks. And as for BRG1, I believe it is being used for the SMC clock. I am unable to understand how this is done. Can we have a timerclk input WITHOUT an external clock signal? Can I just use the CPM clock to generate this? How is this being done in U-Boot now? Thanks much for your help. I really need an answer to this. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - now with 250MB free storage. Learn more. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250
