Thread: [Linwizard-devel] Fwd: [RFC/PATCH 0/3] 32k timer patches

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello team,

I spotted some omap1 patches for the 32k clock that might be our
interest. They are attached.

Regards,
- Angelo

Hmm... very cool - were these the same ones that came up on linux-omap?

I don't have may kernel sources in front of me at the moment. Could
you remind me of the hardware / kernel components that are enabled
with the 32-k timer?

Yes, these came straight from linux-omap.

AFAIK 32k is mostly important for suspend.

Wasn't the 32k also necessary for dynamic ticks? I can't remember
exactly ... I just finished 2 of my last 3 exams (phew!) and should
finally have a bit of time to hack at the linwizard kernel a bit more.

I remember working on one thing in particular (a few months ago, can't
remember right now) that was available on omap2, and theoretically
also on omap1, but it relied on the 32k clock, and I couldn't get it
to work properly before. It should be interesting to get back into my
kernel tree and see if these patches fix my problem (whatever it
was...).
