Hi Dirk, Troy,

Still some troubles on the DVEVM, i2c and flash are too fast, also dhcp is racing like h#ll. See log below.

Currently the timer rolls over every 1 ms, this means get_timer should be called at least every ms to detect a roll over... Is it better to have a static variable timer than read the timer register directly?

I see that this is standard behavior in other timer code in u-boot, but we don't need it I think. I'll try to implement the 64-bit timer without roll over this afternoon.

Best regards, Pieter

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: Davinci: Fix DM644x timer overflow handling and cleanup

Fix ARM based DaVinci DM644x timer overflow handling and cleanup timer code.

Changes:

- Remove *_masked() functions as noted by Wolfgang

- Adapt register naming to recent TI spec (sprue26, March 2007)

- Fix reset_timer() handling

- As reported by Pieter [1] the overflow fix introduced a delay of factor 16 (e.g 2 seconds became 32). While the overflow fix is basically okay, it missed to divide CFG_HZ_CLOCK by 16, too. Fix this.

[1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/38179

- Remove software division of timer count value (DIV(x) macro) and do it in hardware (TIM_CLK_DIV).

Many thanks to Troy Kisky <troy.kisky at boundarydevices.com> for his hints!

Patch is compile tested with davinci_dvevm & sonata & schmoogie configuration. Anybody can test it on real hardware? Pieter?
