Reduced CPU speeds.
« on: January 22, 2019, 03:21:34 AM »

OS 9 on unsupported 7447a CPU's maybe a little tricky.

It seems on portable models, the CPU multiplier boots in DFS mode, meaning reduced CPU speeds under OS 9, because we have no software to put the CPU in High Performance mode.

Specifically SPR 1009 ( HID1 ) bit 9.

Does anyone know of any OS 9 software that can read or write to SPR's?

Is there a way to set the SPR via Open Firmware?

If we had a way to set/unset this bit under OS 9, we could get the stealth upgrade 1.5 Ghz Mini to operate in DFS mode.

Desktop systems are not affected because the 7447a doesn't support 1/4 multipliers in DFS mode. Meaning if your desktop Mac has a CPU that is x.5 x the bus speed, it wouldn't support DFS, unless you changed the multiplier to be a whole number.

Also, the 1.5Ghz Mini would support DFS as the Multiplier is 9x 167, however it lacks PRIM_Info, so OS X won't show that option in the Energy Saver Control Panel.

Setting the correct bit in the PRIM_Info would make the option appear in OS X and OS 9, however OS 9 lacks any code for the 7447a, so it can't change the Performance Mode of the CPU.

Likely, if we knew more about the Apple CPU Plugin, we could patch it to support DFS on the 7447a.

If you have a 1.5Ghz Mini, running OS X, and you would like to test DFS, install CHUD Tools and use ReggieSE to set/unset bit 9 of HID1.

Also, I can't say for sure, without digging in the Linux source code, but Portable systems with the 7447a would likely be operating at reduced speeds under Linux.

This is now solved, all 7447a portable users under OS 9 can now use the CPU at 100% of it's rated clock speed.

Code: [Select]
dev /cpus/@0
set-dfs-high
bye

or add it to your nvramrc

Code: [Select]
nvedit
dev /cpus/@0
set-dfs-high
Ctrl+C
nvstore
setenv use-nvramrc? true
reset-all

OS 9 now runs 2x as fast at CPU tasks.

Hey darth,

Just wondering if you've tried this on a PowerBook G4? I can't seem to find any devices in the device tree that have the set-dfs-high property.
'dev /cpus/@0' doesn't exist on the PowerBook G4 5,2, so I looked in PowerPC,G4@0 and it's children but had no luck.

The only words/methods available for PowerPC,G4@0 are 'translate, modify, unmap, map, release, claim, close, open'

I tried copying the properties of the CPU (e.g. clock-frequeny, bus-frequency, processor-to-bus-ratio*2 etc.) to my boot script thinking that might persist them through boot but that hasn't worked either.

I can't remember how to dump the device tree with properties through OSX terminal and haven't had much luck with telnet so can't offer much more info yet.
Below are my current benchmarks all in comparison with the supported Quicksilver (which beats them all)

Maybe it's not possible on this model?

How's this?
Code: [Select]
code hid1@
969ffffc , \ stwu r20 -4(r31)
7e91faa6 , \ mfspr r20,1009
4e800020 , \ blr
end-code

code hid1!
7e91fba6 , \ mtspr 1009,r20
869f0004 , \ lwzu r20, 4(r31)
4e800020 , \ blr
end-code

: set-dfs-high
hid1@ 400000 or hid1!
;

I believe this will work, but I suggest being careful with it.

Here is the forum post where I was told the OF register assignments.

Doesn't seem to be doing anything, I've tried entering this directly into OFW then booting, pasting into my boot script, and adding to the nvram but haven't had any luck. Is there a different way I'm supposed to be entering this?

The Powerbook5,2 and also the PowerBook5,3 use the mpc7447, not the mpc7447a, only the 7447a and 7448 support Dynamic frequency switching.

Your Powerbook with the 1.83Ghz G4 should be a 7447a @11x167mhz, it is likely booting in DFS mode, 5.5x167mhz.

Enter a telnet session and give us the results of:

Having my code not work because it is impossible to do it, that's the best way to fail.

Just out of curiosity, would it have actually worked on a real 7447a?

This is the first time I have tried to actually use custom assembly in OF.

That's why it didn't work. Setting bit 9 slows the processor down. I needed to clear it.
Code: [Select]
code hid1@
969ffffc , \ stwu r20 -4(r31)
7e91faa6 , \ mfspr r20,1009
4e800020 , \ blr
end-code

code hid1!
7e91fba6 , \ mtspr 1009,r20
869f0004 , \ lwzu r20, 4(r31)
4e800020 , \ blr
end-code

: set-dfs-high
hid1@ 400000 andc hid1!
;
: set-dfs-low
hid1@ 400000 or hid1!
;
This is why I should really have looked up hid1 bit 9 before I wrote the code snippet  :-[

Nope, set-dfs-high locks up the system.

It may help to add a 1 ms delay?

I've tried adding both of these solutions but haven't had any luck. Daniel - booting after your script everything works ok but there is no difference in speed/benchmarks. darthnVader - everything works until I get to the following line:
Code: [Select]
spd 70  pll-ratio*2 = 20  HID1 = 80015c80  DelayAACK = 0  GPIO1 = 7 BusClk = 133173712 I get the result:
Code: [Select]
spd, unknown word
Both methods result in the set-dfs-high methods being added to the CPU package but there is no effect after invoking them and booting.

Here's the CPU properties of my machine:

That's why it didn't work. Setting bit 9 slows the processor down. I needed to clear it.
Code: [Select]
code hid1@
969ffffc , \ stwu r20 -4(r31)
7e91faa6 , \ mfspr r20,1009
4e800020 , \ blr
end-code

code hid1!
7e91fba6 , \ mtspr 1009,r20
869f0004 , \ lwzu r20, 4(r31)
4e800020 , \ blr
end-code

: set-dfs-high
hid1@ 400000 andc hid1!
;
: set-dfs-low
hid1@ 400000 or hid1!
;
This is why I should really have looked up hid1 bit 9 before I wrote the code snippet  :-[

Nope, set-dfs-high locks up the system.

It may help to add a 1 ms delay?
So that gpio stuff is important?
Code: [Select]
5 1 gpio!There are several ways those stack values could be interpreted.
Some day I want to just disassemble the OF rom into buildable forth source. It would make a lot of stuff clearer.

I've tried adding both of these solutions but haven't had any luck. Daniel - booting after your script everything works ok but there is no difference in speed/benchmarks. darthnVader - everything works until I get to the following line:
Code: [Select]
spd 70  pll-ratio*2 = 20  HID1 = 80015c80  DelayAACK = 0  GPIO1 = 7 BusClk = 133173712 I get the result:
Code: [Select]
spd, unknown word
Both methods result in the set-dfs-high methods being added to the CPU package but there is no effect after invoking them and booting.

That's not the PVR of a 7447a, code is never going to work for that CPU.

Must have something to do with the GPIO code, but I'm not sure what it does.

The Powerbook5,2 and also the PowerBook5,3 use the mpc7447, not the mpc7447a, only the 7447a and 7448 support Dynamic frequency switching.

Your Powerbook with the 1.83Ghz G4 should be a 7447a @11x167mhz, it is likely booting in DFS mode, 5.5x167mhz.

Ah bugger, sorry I misread this..

I'll keep this bookmarked anyway in case we get trackpad support for these models in the future. Thanks for trying!
