Pervasive

Pervasive is a device that controls the clocks of most of the devices of the system.

Reset

Devices must be put out of reset (device reset disabled) before they are first used.

To enable reset of a device (put a device in reset), do *REG32(0xE3101000 + dev_off) |= mask.

To disable reset of a device (put a device out of reset), do *REG32(0xE3101000 + dev_off) &= ~mask.

Clock Gating

Devices can be clock gated to preserve battery.

To enable clock gate (request the clock of a device to be enabled), do *REG32(0xE3102000 + dev_off) |= mask.

To disable clock gate (request the clock of a device to be disabled), do *REG32(0xE3102000 + dev_off) &= ~mask.

ARM Clocks

The ARM CPU clocks are controlled by two registers at physical address 0xE3103000 (ScePervasiveBaseClk). Currently, it is unknown how the values are interpreted. However, 0xE3103000 (one word) takes values 0 to 16, and increases clock speed while 0xE3103004 (single byte) takes values 0 to 8 and decreases clock speed. It is likely related to a PLL multiply and divide function. The input clock signal comes from a P1P40167 clock synthesizer (found on the bottom of the board under the main SoC). It takes a 27MHz crystal and generates a 37MHz clock which feeds directly into the SoC's internal PLL.

The following are tests run to determine what the values of each register corresponds to. It appears that the maximum clock speed is 499MHz and the minimum clock speed is 16MHz.

These clocks may be wrong. "Kernel Clock Speed" is "Clock Speed + 5". However, there is an error of ± 5 to 6 in "Clock Speed".

CMeP Clock

The low 8 bits of the register at physical address 0xE3103040 seem to control CMeP clock speed. This was guessed because it is used in a usleep()-like function to calculate the input for a sleep_for_cycles() function.

The following data comes from a hardcoded table:

Value	Clock speed
0x2	27MHz
0x3	42MHz
0x4	56MHz
0x5	83MHz
0x6	111MHz
0x7	160MHz
Any other value	50MHz

second_loader sets the register to 5, meaning CMeP should run at 83MHz.

VENEZIA Clock

The register at physical address 0xE3103020 seems to control the clock frequency of VENEZIA.

Allowed register values

Value	Clock speed
0x1	41MHz
0x2	55MHz
0x3	83MHz
0x4	111MHz
0x5	166MHz
0x6	222MHz
0x7	333MHz

ScePervasiveMisc (0xE3100000)

Devices can be fully disabled? by writing a 1 to the corresponding bit of the ScePervasiveMisc (PA 0xE3100000) register. To disable the device dev_off, do *REG32(0xE3100000 + (dev_off / 32) * 4) = 1 << (31 - (dev_off % 32)).
