EAV REF CLOCK CONTROL REG [Offset 0x6908]
This register controls the EAV Reference Counter and the TimeSync related GPIO pins. Each MAC’s 1588 HW
owns a dedicated TimeSync_GPIO pin which may be connected to any of its four Snap-shot/WatchDog HW
logic. If a MAC needs to use more pins beyond its TimeSync_GPIO pin, it may use any or all of the four
APE_GPIO[3:0] pins – note that these pins are shared among APE HW and four MAC-1588 HW. Thus a
platform must design-in these pins and have individual BootCode or FW configure this register and APEGPIO
register accordingly.
Note: HW behavior shall be indeterminate in case of conflicting or duplicate assignment of GPIO pins
to the same resource. A platform design MUST allocate its dedicated TimeSync_GPIO pin first before
using any pin from APE_GPIO shared pool (we are talking PCB/Hardware design here).
