Use to lock/cap Jetson CPU/GPU/EMC clocks, toggle EMC/CPU DVFS, or change cpufreq governors by editing BPMP DTB and nvpower.sh pre-flash. Do NOT use for live tuning or nvpmodel edits.

# Customize Clocks

## Purpose

Customize CPU, GPU, and EMC clock behavior on a Jetson target by editing files under `Linux_for_Tegra/` before flashing the image. Two layers are in scope:

- The **BPMP DTB** at `Linux_for_Tegra/bootloader/<BPFDTB_FILE>` — per-clock `max-rate-custom` ceilings, plus the EMC DVFS gate (bwmgr + cactmon on all SoCs; osp-controller on T26x only).
- **nvpower.sh** at `Linux_for_Tegra/rootfs/etc/systemd/nvpower.sh` — cpufreq / devfreq governors and (optionally) per-device min / max / static rates written to sysfs at boot.

Common triggers: "lock CPU/GPU/EMC frequency", "pin GPU to Fmax", "pin EMC to MAXN", "disable/enable EMC DVFS", "disable/enable CPU DVFS", "set CPU/GPU max rate", "change cpufreq governor".

Out of scope: runtime clock tuning on a live target (no flash step), nvpmodel power-mode edits (use the sibling skill `/jetson-customize-nvpmodel`), and silicon-ceiling overrides (`max-rate-maxn` is read-only).
