Chapter 16: Gigabit Ethernet Controller
2. Best master clock algorithm (BMCA)
3. PTP packet handling at the master port
4. PTP packet handling at the slave port
Notes:
1. The following sections do not describe the handling of management and signaling frames
because they are not integral to the implementation of the core PTP functionality.
2. The illustrations in these sections do not describe an implementation-specific mechanism to
change clock attributes dynamically.
3. The PTP packets processed here are simple Ethernet multicast packets. The scope of the
following sections do not include UDP based multicast packets. The explanation refers to non-OS
based standalone implementation which does not implement a TCP/IP stack.
16.4.2 Controller Initialization
The controller must be initialized with the interrupts, timer and PTP.
1. Initialize the controller with interrupts and timers. Refer to section 16.3 Programming Guide.
2. Enable the PTP interrupts. Refer to section 16.3.6 Configure Interrupts
3. Setup a timer with interrupts and appropriate interrupt handlers to enable periodic
transmission of packets. TTC timers or CPU private timers can be used for this purpose. For a
typical case, interrupts can be generated every 500 ms.
4. Setup the UART to monitor debug messages from the application. Refer to Chapter 19, UART
Controller to program the UART.
The following steps are specifically for the PTP functionality:
1. Initialize the seconds and nanoseconds timers. Write appropriate values to the gem.timer_s
and gem.timer_ns registers, respectively.
2. Program the timer increment value in the gem.timer_incr register.
Example: For a CPU clock that runs at 666.67 MHz and PTP clocked with CPU_1x clock of
111.11 MHz, 1 PTP clock cycle corresponds to 9 ns. The gem.timer_incr[ns_delta] register bit in
this case should be set to 9.
As another example, consider a CPU_1x clock of 120 MHz, 1 PTP clock cycle corresponds to
8.33 ns. In this case, the counter should increment by 8 ns for 2 clock cycles and 9 ns for 1 clock
cycle to average 8.33 ns in 3 clock cycles. For such a setting, register bit gem.timer_incr[ns_delta]
is set to 8, gem.timer_incr[alt_ct_ns_delta] is set to 9, and gem.timer_incr[incr_b4_alt] is set to 2.
3. Initialize the common fields of data structures used for various PTP packets. All PTP packets
have a common message header.
Timer Interrupt Handler
A timer is initialized to generate interrupts at pre-defined intervals. The operation of the interrupt
handler at the master and slave clock ports are briefly illustrated.
