AM2634: Ntp server implementation in AM-2634

Part Number: AM2634

Tool/software:

Hi ti family,

I am currently planning to implement an NTP (Network Time Protocol) server on the AM2634 microcontroller, utilizing a GPS module for synchronization, with the PPS (Pulse Per Second) signal serving as the timing reference.

Could you provide any initial guidance or recommended resources to help me get started with this implementation? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

  • Hi Tej_1441,

    To get started, you can read about CPSW from the AM26x academy or the Technical Reference Manual for AM2634: www.ti.com/.../spruj17h.pdf). You will need to have an understanding of how CPSW works, how the CPTS module inside CPSW work. This will be crucial since you would be using an external GPS module for synchronization with AM2634 device. So you would externally drive the signals to the CPTS on AM2634 and make time adjustments. I recommend thoroughly understanding CPTS from TRM.

    On the software side, there is no direct support for NTP server. The LwIP Client has NTP client related APIs but they haven't been validated in an application on AM263x.

    Regards,
