Basic C Library Functions
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
When writing drivers, you cannot in general use routines which are from
|
|
the C Library. Some of the functions have been found generally useful
|
|
and they are listed below. The behaviour of these functions may vary
|
|
slightly from those defined by ANSI, and these deviations are noted in
|
|
the text.

Clock Framework
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
The clock framework defines programming interfaces to support software
|
|
management of the system clock tree. This framework is widely used with
|
|
System-On-Chip (SOC) platforms to support power management and various
|
|
devices which may need custom clock rates. Note that these "clocks"
|
|
don't relate to timekeeping or real time clocks (RTCs), each of which
|
|
have separate frameworks. These :c:type:`struct clk <clk>`
|
|
instances may be used to manage for example a 96 MHz signal that is used
|
|
to shift bits into and out of peripherals or busses, or otherwise
|
|
trigger synchronous state machine transitions in system hardware.
|
|
|
|
Power management is supported by explicit software clock gating: unused
|
|
clocks are disabled, so the system doesn't waste power changing the
|
|
state of transistors that aren't in active use. On some systems this may
|
|
be backed by hardware clock gating, where clocks are gated without being
|
|
disabled in software. Sections of chips that are powered but not clocked
|
|
may be able to retain their last state. This low power state is often
|
|
called a *retention mode*. This mode still incurs leakage currents,
|
|
especially with finer circuit geometries, but for CMOS circuits power is
|
|
mostly used by clocked state changes.
|
|
|
|
Power-aware drivers only enable their clocks when the device they manage
|
|
is in active use. Also, system sleep states often differ according to
|
|
which clock domains are active: while a "standby" state may allow wakeup
|
|
from several active domains, a "mem" (suspend-to-RAM) state may require
|
|
a more wholesale shutdown of clocks derived from higher speed PLLs and
|
|
oscillators, limiting the number of possible wakeup event sources. A
|
|
driver's suspend method may need to be aware of system-specific clock
|
|
constraints on the target sleep state.
|
|
|
|
Some platforms support programmable clock generators. These can be used
|
|
by external chips of various kinds, such as other CPUs, multimedia
|
|
codecs, and devices with strict requirements for interface clocking.
