I try to run a Atmel SAM D20 MCU at 48MHz using the internal oscillator (OCM8M) and the digital frequency locked loop (DFLL48M). All I achieve is a deadlock of the processor, even I use a simple "Atmel Start" project.

I searched hard, but I found no examples or even descriptions how to achieve this. Everything references to some other source, but no source explains the process in detail.

What I try to do is this: Clock Configuration

Which is the correct way to put the CPU into internal 48MHz mode?

Are there any detailed examples or explanations somewhere? Did I miss an important source?

Any help is welcome. Any code examples are welcome in any language.

The correct sequence to run a Atmel SAM D20 at 48MHz, without external oscillator and just using the DFLL48M and the OSC8M is shown in the code example below.

void initializeSystemFor48MHz()
{
    // Change the timing of the NVM access 
    NVMCTRL->CTRLB.bit.RWS = NVMCTRL_CTRLB_RWS_HALF_Val; // 1 wait state for operating at 2.7-3.3V at 48MHz.

    // Enable the bus clock for the clock system.
    PM->APBAMASK.bit.GCLK_ = true;

    // Initialise the DFLL to run in closed-loop mode at 48MHz
    // 1. Make a software reset of the clock system.
    GCLK->CTRL.bit.SWRST = true;
    while (GCLK->CTRL.bit.SWRST && GCLK->STATUS.bit.SYNCBUSY) {};
    // 2. Make sure the OCM8M keeps running.
    SYSCTRL->OSC8M.bit.ONDEMAND = 0;
    // 3. Set the division factor to 64, which reduces the 1MHz source to 15.625kHz
    GCLK->GENDIV.reg =
        GCLK_GENDIV_ID(3) | // Select generator 3
        GCLK_GENDIV_DIV(64); // Set the division factor to 64
    // 4. Create generic clock generator 3 for the 15KHz signal of the DFLL
    GCLK->GENCTRL.reg =
        GCLK_GENCTRL_ID(3) | // Select generator 3
        GCLK_GENCTRL_SRC_OSC8M | // Select source OSC8M
        GCLK_GENCTRL_GENEN; // Enable this generic clock generator
    while (GCLK->STATUS.bit.SYNCBUSY) {}; // Wait for synchronization
    // 5. Configure DFLL with the
    GCLK->CLKCTRL.reg =
        GCLK_CLKCTRL_ID_DFLL48M | // Target is DFLL48M
        GCLK_CLKCTRL_GEN(3) | // Select generator 3 as source.
        GCLK_CLKCTRL_CLKEN; // Enable the DFLL48M
    while (GCLK->STATUS.bit.SYNCBUSY) {}; // Wait for synchronization
    // 6. Workaround to be able to configure the DFLL.
    SYSCTRL->DFLLCTRL.bit.ONDEMAND = false;
    while (!SYSCTRL->PCLKSR.bit.DFLLRDY) {}; // Wait for synchronization.
    // 7. Change the multiplication factor. 
    SYSCTRL->DFLLMUL.bit.MUL = 3072; // 48MHz / (1MHz / 64)
    SYSCTRL->DFLLMUL.bit.CSTEP = 1; // Coarse step = 1
    SYSCTRL->DFLLMUL.bit.FSTEP = 1; // Fine step = 1
    while (!SYSCTRL->PCLKSR.bit.DFLLRDY) {}; // Wait for synchronization.
    // 8. Start closed-loop mode
    SYSCTRL->DFLLCTRL.reg |=
        SYSCTRL_DFLLCTRL_MODE | // 1 = Closed loop mode.
        SYSCTRL_DFLLCTRL_QLDIS; // 1 = Disable quick lock.
    while (!SYSCTRL->PCLKSR.bit.DFLLRDY) {}; // Wait for synchronization.
    // 9. Clear the lock flags.
    SYSCTRL->INTFLAG.bit.DFLLLCKC = 1;
    SYSCTRL->INTFLAG.bit.DFLLLCKF = 1;
    SYSCTRL->INTFLAG.bit.DFLLRDY = 1;
    // 10. Enable the DFLL
    SYSCTRL->DFLLCTRL.bit.ENABLE = true;
    while (!SYSCTRL->PCLKSR.bit.DFLLRDY) {}; // Wait for synchronization.
    // 11. Wait for the fine and coarse locks.
    while (!SYSCTRL->INTFLAG.bit.DFLLLCKC && !SYSCTRL->INTFLAG.bit.DFLLLCKF) {};
    // 12. Wait until the DFLL is ready.
    while (!SYSCTRL->INTFLAG.bit.DFLLRDY) {};  

    // Switch the main clock speed.
    // 1. Set the divisor of generic clock 0 to 0
    GCLK->GENDIV.reg =
        GCLK_GENDIV_ID(0) | // Select generator 0
        GCLK_GENDIV_DIV(0);
    while (GCLK->STATUS.bit.SYNCBUSY) {}; // Wait for synchronization       
    // 2. Switch generic clock 0 to the DFLL
    GCLK->GENCTRL.reg =
        GCLK_GENCTRL_ID(0) | // Select generator 0
        GCLK_GENCTRL_SRC_DFLL48M | // Select source DFLL
        GCLK_GENCTRL_IDC | // Set improved duty cycle 50/50
        GCLK_GENCTRL_GENEN; // Enable this generic clock generator
    while (GCLK->STATUS.bit.SYNCBUSY) {}; // Wait for synchronization
}

This is C++ code for the Atmel Studio. It just requires the "sam.h" include and nothing else.

Here is the startup code from the Arduino development environment for the Arduino Zero which is based on the SAMD21G18. It should be similar enough

/**
 * \brief SystemInit() configures the needed clocks and according Flash Read Wait States.
 * At reset:
 * - OSC8M clock source is enabled with a divider by 8 (1MHz).
 * - Generic Clock Generator 0 (GCLKMAIN) is using OSC8M as source.
 * We need to:
 * 1) Enable XOSC32K clock (External on-board 32.768Hz oscillator), will be used as DFLL48M reference.
 * 2) Put XOSC32K as source of Generic Clock Generator 1
 * 3) Put Generic Clock Generator 1 as source for Generic Clock Multiplexer 0 (DFLL48M reference)
 * 4) Enable DFLL48M clock
 * 5) Switch Generic Clock Generator 0 to DFLL48M. CPU will run at 48MHz.
 * 6) Modify PRESCaler value of OSCM to have 8MHz
 * 7) Put OSC8M as source for Generic Clock Generator 3

I made ATSAMD10 works with 48Mhz clock, with Atmel Start code, setting NVM Wait State to 1 in CPU configuration. Setting to 0 (default) CPU halts.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Indeed this seems to be the correct answer. The datasheet specifies that the "Maximum Operating Frequency" is 24MHz for a VDD range of 2.7V to 3.63V when "NVM Wait States" is 0. See Table 37-42 in DS40001882D (SAM D21 Family Reference). \$\endgroup\$
