PWRM Module
2-306
❏
DMA
. Checking this box causes the DMA clock domain to be idled
during the DSP/BIOS idle loop. The DMA domain must remain idled
if the CLKGEN domain is idled. This setting can be modified at
runtime using the PWRM_configure function.
Tconf Name: IDLEDMA
Type: Bool
Example:
bios.PWRM.IDLEDMA = false;
❏
CPU
. Checking this box causes the CPU clock domain to be idled
during the DSP/BIOS idle loop. The CPU domain must remain idled
if the CLKGEN domain is idled. This setting can be modified at
runtime using the PWRM_configure function.
Tconf Name: IDLECPU
Type: Bool
Example:
bios.PWRM.IDLECPU = true;
V/F Scaling tab
❏
Enable Voltage and Frequency Scaling
. This property specifies
whether voltage and frequency scaling are to be enabled for the
application. Setting this property to true causes the Power Scaling
Library (PSL) library specified by the PSLCONFIGLIB property to be
linked with the application.
Tconf Name: SCALING
Type: Bool
Example:
bios.PWRM.SCALING = false;
❏
Initial frequency (index to frequency table)
. Specify the initial
frequency of the DSP after booting. This value is a setpoint from the
Frequency Setpoint Table. For details, see “PWRM_changeSetpoint”
on page 2-310.
Tconf Name: INITIALFREQ
Type: Numeric
Example:
bios.PWRM.INITIALFREQ = 15;
❏
Initial voltage (volts)
. Specify the initial voltage of the DSP after it
has been booted.
Tconf Name: INITVOLTS
Type: Numeric
Example:
bios.PWRM.INITVOLTS = 1.6;
❏
Scale voltage along with frequency
. This property specifies
whether voltage should be scaled along with frequency. You may
want to disable voltage scaling to reduce latency when changing the
frequency. If this property is set to true, a change to the frequency
(via PWRM_changeSetpoint) results in a voltage change when
possible. For example, changing from setpoint 15 to setpoint 0
results in a frequency change from 200 to 6 MHz, as well as a voltage
change from 1.6 to 1.1. If this property is set to false, voltage is not
scaled down along with frequency. The voltage is always scaled up
