Example:
pci@0,4 {
reg = <0x000400 0 0 0 0>;
clocks = <&clockgen 4 0>;
little-endian;
};
2. Felix switch
NA
Verification in Linux
Connect Ethernet interfaces of two boards with back-to-back method (for example, eth0 to eth0).
One board runs as master and the other one runs as slave.
•
Check PTP clock and timestamping capability
# ethtool -T eth0
Time stamping parameters for eth0:
Capabilities:
hardware-transmit (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE)
hardware-receive (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE)
hardware-raw-clock (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE)
PTP Hardware Clock: 1
Hardware Transmit Timestamp Modes:
off (HWTSTAMP_TX_OFF)
on (HWTSTAMP_TX_ON)
Hardware Receive Filter Modes:
none (HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NONE)
all (HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL)
•
On the master side
# ifconfig eth0 up
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100
# ptp4l -i eth0 -p /dev/ptp1 -m
•
On the slave side
# ifconfig eth0 up
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.200
# ptp4l -i eth0 -p /dev/ptp1 -s -m
The slave side would print synchronization messages.
•
Note:
For Felix switch, ptp4l works on both, CPU port with bridge case and CPU port without bridge case. However, ptp4l should
only work on L2 Ethernet protocol with -2 option for CPU port with bridge case.
Known Bugs, Limitations, or Technical Issues
• The Felix switch interrupt had not been implemented in driver. Polling method in work queue was used instead temporary
for timestamping support.
