VAR-SOM-MX6 - IEEE 1588 Hardware Timestamp

Overview of IEEE 1588 Hardware Timestamping

  • Allows reference clock to be chosen independently of network speed.
  • Software-programmable precise time-stamping of ingress and egress frames.
  • Timer monitoring capabilities for system calibration and timing accuracy management.
  • Precise time-stamping of external events with programmable interrupt generation.
  • Programmable event and interrupt generation for external system control.
  • Supports hardware and software-controllable timer synchronization.
  • Provides a 4-channel IEEE 1588 timer. Each channel supports input capture and output compare using the 1588 counter.
  • Distribution of precise time information over the packetbased network.
  • Offers high accuracy (in the sub-microsecond range) over the network.

Hardware Setup

  • For DART-MX6: physically remove U109 (RTC IC) and R137 (i2c3_sda pull-up) from the board.
  • Connect Grand Master Clock Source (PC) to the same Ethernet to the target.
  • Make sure there is communication between the PC and the target by using ping.

Software

On PC (Master)
For Grand master clock can be Linux Build PC or other board
For Ubuntu 16.04

$ sudo apt-get install linuxptp


Start the software base timestamping on PC or to become grandmaster clock source which you want to synchronize.

Make sure you have following device tree change present on your kernel.
Note that in this example, i2c3 bus is disbabled for DART-MX6, in order to free the pins used by the IEEE 1588 hardware timestamping.

You may need to disable certain pins to get the HW EVENTX_IN/OUT and insert in the device tree, to get your external input / output for the HW timer to work.

- Here, in this case, the PC sends the timestamp using software timer, however, IEEE 1588 packets received on the target can synchronize the clock with 1uSec accuracy.

On device (Client)

Yocto build already contains the ptp4l required resoureces on the target.
