an error occured when using sja1110 gPTP

[xiaoshumiao]

Dear NXP fellows:

I am using S32G-VNP-RDB3 and Linux BSP 38.0

I have configured pfe0 to communicate with sja1110 port 4 through sgmii, and can ping. I want to synchronize the time between s32g and sja1110 through pfe0 and sja1110 port 4 interface.

Referring to the configuration of "gptp_sja1110x", I added gPTP statck on the "switch_config_s32g_vnp_rdb" and configured gptp. Finally, I compiled and generated flash_image.bin, renamed it to sja1110_uc.bin, and copied it to /lib/firmware.

But an error occurred, as follows:

I'm guessing the error is here:

xiaoshumiao_1-1745235852368.pngxiaoshumiao_2-1745235892615.png

For detailed log please refer to the attached file

I can't solve this, and would really appreciate your help.

Hello @xiaoshumiao,

Checking the logs you added it seems that the problems is only the loading and not the gPTP configuration. Please check the jumpers in J198 and ensure the following configuration:

I tested it successfully with said configuration:

 Let me know if you keep having problems.

Hi @alejandro_e 

I have confirmed that the configuration of J189 is correct. The configuration of rdb3 booting from sd card is also correct.

I tested it again. When I directly compiled "switch_config_s32g_vnp_rdb" without any modification and loaded it, there was no error“

When I only add gptp_config in Middleware and don't make any modifications, compile and load, there will be an error. That is to say, adding gptp_config will cause an error when loading.

I think it's a problem with the spi rate, or there's something wrong with the uboot settings.

Hello @xiaoshumiao,

From the logs I can see that the download was actually completed, please see this part:

[ 7.463272] sja1110 spi5.0: [sja1110_uc_parse_status_many] Upload error detected in status message 31600 (status=0x36,err=0x5b)

 if you check sja1110_init.h#L53, which is the module in charge of loading the firmware you can see the following:

alejandro_e_0-1745361788142.png

The status is completed (0x36) and there is no error (0x5B=91). I am assuming you are using the Yocto build, in that setup, you can modify the patch in: .../sources/meta-alb/recipes-kernel/sja1110/sja1110/0001-s32g274a-rdb2-Add-support-for-S32G-VNP-RDB2.patch and add COMPLETED as a correct state, in here:

alejandro_e_1-1745362130548.png

after that you can test if the functionalities related to the SJA1110 still work correctly.

Please let me know the result of the test.

Thanks

Hi @alejandro_e 

Thank you very much for your reply. This method still doesn’t work and other errors will occur.

I refer to this to solve the problem
