IEEE 1588 clock synchronization for multi-ports

[mingzheliu]

Hi，

I am using IMXRT1064 to implement IEEE 1588 function on two Ethernet ports simultaneously. So I need them to have a common reference timer. I saw in the manual that I can enable timer slave mode (ENETn_ATCR [SLAVE] = 1). By enabling slave mode (ENETn_ATCR[SLAVE] = 1), the timer is ignored and the current time is externally provided from one of the external modules.

How should I use it?

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. I had seen the documentation of that you said. But I didn't find any explanation about "slave mode" in the AN12149.pdf.

There is a short description in section 41.7.10.2 of IMXRT1064RM.pdf. But I didn't know how to configurate it.

Here is the description:
