I can´t undertand SysCtlClockGet() behaviour

[Simao 0]

     Hi there, I would really appreciate any  help here. Assuming ClockVal defined as

 

unsigned long Clockval=0

     After executing this 2 lines of code...    
     

SysCtlClockSet(SYSCTL_SYSDIV_5|SYSCTL_USE_PLL|SYSCTL_XTAL_16MHZ|SYSCTL_OSC_MAIN);
 
ClockVal = SysCtlClockGet();

     What should be the correct value of Clockval? A friend of mine reported 40,000.000  meaning 40 Mhz using IAR, in my case running Keil I get 3,200000 or 3.2 Mhz, does abybody have a clue for this weird value??

Thanks a lot in advance

P.S.  1) We both use Stellaris LM4F120 LaunchPad Evaluation Kit

 

P.S.  2) It´s my first post so please bear with me if it´s not formaly correct.

Following will set the Stellaris Launchpad at 80Mhz

SysCtlClockSet(	SYSCTL_SYSDIV_2_5 | SYSCTL_USE_PLL |	\
					SYSCTL_OSC_MAIN   | SYSCTL_XTAL_16MHZ);

What this means is - You are instructing the PLL to run to 400Mhz using the 16Mhz as input to it. The PLL is then divided by 2 internally in hardware, and then 2.5

400/2/2.5 = 80

SysCtlClockGet() will give you 80000000Hz.

SysCtlClockSet(SYSCTL_SYSDIV_5|SYSCTL_USE_PLL|SYSCTL_XTAL_16MHZ|SYSCTL_OSC_MAIN);
 
ClockVal = SysCtlClockGet();

400/2/5 = 40Mhz

 

Explained here too.

     Thanks a lot for your explanation. I´ll try your tip for 80Mhz and I`ll keep you informed.

It is kind of confusing, but look up the clock diagram in the datasheet. What plans do you have for it?

     Acctually it worked already, my concern is about the value I get when I call SysCtlClockGet(), I guess I have to dig into KEIL help files to know what is happening but freq is OK.

     Thanks again.
