Following are the DTS used:- + K2HK EVM : k2hk-evm.dts + K2E EVM : k2e-evm.dts + K2L EVM : k2l-evm.dts + +The device tree documentation for the keystone machines are located at + Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/keystone/keystone.txt + +Known issues & workaround +------------------------- + +Some of the device drivers used on keystone are re-used from that from +DaVinci and other TI SoCs. These device drivers may use clock APIs directly. +Some of the keystone specific drivers such as netcp uses run time power +management API instead to enable clock. As this API has limitations on +keystone, following workaround is needed to boot Linux. + + Add 'clk_ignore_unused' to the bootargs env variable in u-boot. Otherwise + clock frameworks will try to disable clocks that are unused and disable + the hardware. This is because netcp related power domain and clock + domains are enabled in u-boot as run time power management API currently + doesn't enable clocks for netcp due to a limitation. This workaround is + expected to be removed in the future when proper API support becomes + available. Until then, this work around is needed. + + +Document Author +--------------- +Murali Karicheri <m-karicheri2@ti.com> +Copyright 2015 Texas Instruments |
