Changing the system clock

[mabartibin]

While setting the system clock with #define SYSCLK_HSE HSE(200) is just fine usually, I wonder how I can change the frequency later. I’ve tried the code over here, i.e. copied void RCC_ClkConfiguration(void) and call it at the beginning of main(), but that doesn’t work.

Any ideas?

You can use AIR_RCC_PLLConfig() to change the system clock in the code. I just added a demo.

There is a problem in the demo that PLL >=17 will enable the fast PLL, then the system clock will be always above 136MHz.
I didn't figure out how to turn the fast PLL off.

Thanks for the example, works!

There’s another weirdness, apart from the the fast PLL: if I start out with 200MHz in the _conf file, upon reaching 256MHz, it sometimes does what it should, sometimes halts, sometimes resets itself. I have not had problems when starting from 72MHz. No problems either if I stop at a lower frequency like 240MHz.

I just did some tests on both AIR32F103CBT6 and AIR32F103CCT6, but I cannot reproduce the halts and resets. Are there any additional configurations in your code?

The code I am using is

air32f10x_conf.h

#define __AIR32F10x_CONF_H

I think I the only bit I changed from your demo code was to toggle PB10 instead of PC13. I can check tonight or tomorrow and see if I can reproduce it.

Anyway, 256MHz is far beyond what little specs there are. We can’t really expect it to work 100% with all specimens.
