Other Parts Discussed in Thread: WL1831MOD, , CC3301
Tool/software:
Hi TI Team,
My goal is to time synchronize a collection of embedded Linux boards that contain the AM62A3 processor, WL1831MOD, and external device and have a few questions on how to achieve it.
For the embedded Linux boards, the plan is to use the AM62A3 processor and WL1831MOD to execute the “Precise Time Synchronization Over WLAN” method described in the SWAA162A TI’s application report. This is where my questions start,
- Is it correct to assume the “Precise Time Synchronization Over WLAN” method will sync the Cortex-A53 (running the Linux OS)?
- SWAA162A TI’s application report describes using WL1831MOD’s Pin 2 (GPIO11 - COEX_MWS_FRAME_SYNC) to AM335 ‘s GPIO 2_2 (TIMER4). What pin on the AM62A3 should WL1831MOD’s Pin 2 be routed to? Or can you describe how AM335 ‘s GPIO 2_2 (TIMER4) was selected?
- Can the AM62A3‘s Time Sync Router be used to sync the AM62A3’s processor clock to an external device? For example, use the Time Sync Router send a periodic pulse to the external device?
Thanks,
Mike E
