Help¶

The main clock is being used to drive the PLL, and thus driving the processor clock.

Say y if you want to use external crystal oscillator to drive the main clock. Note that this adds about a second to boot time, as the crystal needs to stabilize after power-up.

The crystal used here can be from 3 to 20 MHz.

Says n here will use the internal fast RC oscillator running at 12 MHz.

Direct dependencies¶

SOC_SERIES_SAMV71 && SOC_FAMILY_SAM

(Includes any dependencies from ifs and menus.)

Defaults¶

No defaults. Implicitly defaults to n.
