Hello,
I am trying to synchronize a clock from DP83630 (mounted on DP83630-EVK) with a GrandMaster Clock.
Through Ethernet port on DP83630-EVK I am receiving correct PTPv2 Ethernet frames. Checked by WireShark.
I am using a small part of EPL C library (epl_1588.c functions) to program DP83630. I am trying to extract the GrandMaster-Clock-seconds information from the incoming Ethernet frames. I am doing this by using PTPGetReceiveTimestamp() function from epl_1588.c. Instead of returning a value from the frame (Epoch: ~13800000), which corresponds to GrandMaster Clock, this function returns the number of seconds from the moment I have programed the DP83630.
- Am I wrong to expect the function PTPGetReceiveTimestamp() to return the number of seconds from GrandMaster Clock from the incoming Ethernet frame?
- What is the easiest way to sync DP83630 to a GrandMaster Clock?
- Do I need to be able to transmit timestamps for synchronization?
More information:
- I am programming the DP83630 by an FPGA based embedded system through MDIO interface
- I have been able to: read and write the DP83630 registers, read and set the clock, enable triggers
