[beagleboard] beaglebone - set cpu speed

i wann beaglebone cpu speed

my pc connect beaglebone with usb cable

first one for more information
i write console "cpufreq-info "

later i tried this command

cpufreq-set --governor powersave
cpufreq-set -f 600MHz

If you want 600, power the board by a 5volt dc jack..

echo 275000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed

but i read cpu speed this command "cat
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq"

root@beaglebone:~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
500000
root@beaglebone:~#

how can i run beaglebone 275 Mhz ?

275Mhz been disabled, specially when using the ethernet port..

Regards

Why has it been disabled? and it what sense (kernel, physical hardware limitation?)?

-Tripzero

Or if you want to use USB, SDRAM, etc. 275MHz has a ton of errata in the ES1.0 AM335x SoC.

The latest errata sheet ( http://www.ti.com/lit/er/sprz360b/sprz360b.pdf ) says:
“Reliability tests have shown that a logic cell used in the ARM Cortex-A8 exhibits weakness during low-voltage operation as defined by OPP50. This eliminates support for operating the ARM Cortex-A8 at the lower voltage defined by OPP50.”
(OPP50 = 275MHz)

There is a workaround to operate the AM335x on 275MHz by using OPP100 voltage levels; this however negates most of the power savings you would achieve by using OPP50 and 275MHz.

There are other issues however:
– Operation of McASP0 is not supported for OPP50.
– Operation of McASP1 is not supported for OPP50.
– Operation of GEMAC_CPSW is not supported for OPP50.

The errata sheet doesn’t mention if this means OPP50 voltage levels or OPP50 PLL frequencies, so McASP/CPSW MAY work with OPP100 voltage levels.
