99.94 BogoMIPS

Hi,

I just loaded zImage-7250_2k-ts11 that I got from the ftp server a
couple of weeks back onto a 7250 .

$ uname -a
Linux arm 2.4.26-ts11 #3 Tue Jun 6 14:13:14 MST 2006 armv4l unknown

I just noticed this in dmesg:

Console: colour dummy device 80x30
Calibrating delay loop... 99.94 BogoMIPS
Memory: 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB 8MB = 64MB total

Now I have seen posts that this is problem when building a 2.6 kernel
and required a patch. But what is this about on a TS kernel?

Unless I'm misreading something this means that the std issue TS
kernel is running the board at half speed.

Am I mistaked?

TIA.

Probably. Are you thinking that bogomips == MHz ???

99Bogomips seems about right for an ep9302 clocked at 200MHz, under a
2.4 kernel anyway.

You only need the patch if you build your own kernel from vanilla
sources, and even then only on boards that use RedBoot. 99.94
BogoMIPS is full speed (200 MHz). If you have problem, you would
see 49.86 BogoMIPS.

It's possible TS has patched RedBoot; I haven't checked.
