Hi, In the 750GX data sheet (750GX_ds2-17-05.pdf), page 45 has Table 5-1 that describes the PLL range field. It goes something like this: PLL_RNG range 00 600 - 900 01 900 - 1000 10 500 - 600 Anyone have any thoughts as to what the correct values are for 600 and 900? I think I have this working. I was setting the range to 1 for all frequencies because I did: if(freq<600) instead of if(freq<600000) when building my frequency table. This cpufreq stuff definitely messes up the repeatability of my bogomazes value. kevin P.S.: I'd be interested in various theories as to what this does? P.P.S.: On page 341 of the 750GX user manual It says: "Turning the non selected PLL off results in a modest power savings ..." Regarding what goes on in idle_6xx.S, wouldn't this likely save more power than switching to a lower frequency (to clock mostly nothing since the processor is going into doze or nap)?
