11.3.4. Hardware Sequenced Clock Groups

The hardware sequenced clock groups consists of the MPU clocks and the NOC clocks. The following diagram shows the external bypass muxes, hardware-managed external counters and dividers, and clock gates. For hardware-managed clocks, the group of clocks has only one software enable for the clock gate. As a result, the group of clocks are all enabled or disabled together. The slight exception is the NOC has five and MPU has two software enables.
Table 99.   NOC Clock Software Enables
Software Enable Access Description
csclken RW Enables Debug clock output (cs_at_clk, cs_pdbg_clk, cs_trace_clk)
l4spclken RW Enables clock l4_sp_clk output
l4mpclken RW Enables clock l4_mp_clk output
l4mainclken RW Enables clock l4_main_clk output
