kernel-clock

在Linux驱动中,操作时钟只需要简单调用内核提供的通用接口即可,clock驱动通常是由芯片厂商开发的,在Linux启动时clock驱动就已经初始化完成。

1,介绍

1,1相关代码位置

clock相关初始化,clock初始化很多,这只是其中两个,hrtimers_init是高精度时钟初始化

/kernel_platform/msm-kernel/kernel/time/jiffies.c

cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary 查看时钟树

2,举例

mtk   i2c时钟配置

/kernel-4.19/arch/arm64/boot/dts/mediatek/mt6877.dts

那i2c使用的时钟是cpu的还是外部rtc的?又是怎么配置的    后面再说

### CLK Driver Implementation and Usage In digital circuits, a clock (CLK) driver plays an essential role by ensuring that the timing signals are distributed accurately across various components of the system. The design considerations for implementing a CLK driver include signal integrity, skew management, and power efficiency. #### Hardware-Level Clock Drivers At the hardware level, CLK drivers often involve specialized integrated circuits designed to buffer and distribute clock signals with minimal jitter and delay variation. These devices can support multiple output channels, allowing them to drive several loads simultaneously while maintaining precise phase relationships between outputs[^1]. For instance, in systems requiring high-speed data transfer over USB interfaces such as those configured using `CONFIG_USB_OTG_WHITELIST`, reliable CLK distribution becomes critical for synchronizing operations among different peripherals connected via On-The-Go (OTG) ports. ```c // Example C code snippet showing how one might configure a simple GPIO-based CLK generator void setup_clk_driver(int frequency_hz) { // Configure pinmux settings for selected GPIO line gpio_set_function(CLK_PIN, GPIO_FUNC_CLK_OUT); // Set desired frequency based on input parameter clk_generate_signal(frequency_hz); } ``` #### Software-Level Clock Management On the software side, operating systems like Linux provide APIs for managing clocks within applications or kernel modules. This includes configuring PLLs (Phase-Locked Loops), enabling/disabling specific clock domains, and adjusting frequencies dynamically during runtime operation. System services may also leverage private network namespaces (`PrivateNetwork`) when running under systemd control units, which helps isolate networking resources from other processes without affecting global configurations[^3]. However, this feature is more related to process isolation rather than direct CLK handling but demonstrates broader resource management capabilities available at the OS layer. #### Practical Considerations When developing custom solutions involving CLK drivers: - Ensure proper termination resistors are used where applicable. - Account for propagation delays through PCB traces connecting source and destination points. - Utilize simulation tools early in development cycles to predict performance characteristics before committing designs into silicon prototypes. --related questions-- 1. How does improper CLK distribution affect overall system stability? 2. What methods exist for minimizing clock skews in multi-core processors? 3. Can you explain the differences between synchronous vs asynchronous circuit designs concerning CLK usage? 4. In what scenarios would someone choose programmable versus fixed-frequency CLK generators?
