The range is 1MHz - 48 MHz. Note that below 8 MHz there is no USB support.
The frequency will be set to an integer fraction of 48 MHz. And after
changing the frequency, the peripherals like PWM, UART, I2C, SPI have to be
reconfigured.
Current consumption e.g. of the Seeed Xiao board at 1 MHz is about 1.5 mA,
mostly caused by the on-board LED (green LED with 1k resistor at 3.3V).
Changes are:
- The pin-af-table-SAMDxx.csv file are moved to the mcu directories with
the name as pin-af-table.csv.
- The handling in Makefile and pin_af.c is simplified.
Two new compile flags are:
MICROPY_HW_DFLL_USB_SYNC: Effective only if DFLL48 does not run from the
crystal. It will synchronize the DFLL48M clock with the USB's SOF pulse.
If no USB is connected, it will fall back to open loop mode. The DFLL48M
clock is then pretty precise, but with a higher clock jitter at SAMD51
devices.
MICROPY_HW_MCU_OSC32KULP: Effective only if the devics uses a crystal as
clock source. Run the MCU clock from the ULP 32kHz oszillator instead of
the crystal. This flag was added to cater for a interference problem of
the crystal and Neopixel/Debug pins at Adafruit FEATHER Mx boards, which
causes the board to crash. Drawback: ticks_ms() and time.time() vs. than
ticks_us() and the peripherals like PWM run at not synchronous clocks.
Changes are:
- Set the feature level for each MCU: CORE features for SAMD21, and EXTRA
features for SAMD51.
- Remove all definitions that are included in the core feature level.
- Keep the default settings for feature level and float, to make the choice
obvious.
It can be enabled/disabled by a configuration switch. The code size
increase is 308 bytes, but it requires RAM space for buffers, the larger
UART object and root pointers.
