questions of the clock frequecy of i.MX8-QXP

I am using the i.MX8-qxp-c0 board. I would like to figure out what will be the clock frequency when I use PTP4l to do time synchronisation. It seems that clock frequency comes from the clock frequency of the NIC of the board.

I found that the AR8031 which is an ethernet chip is connected to a 25MHz clock. (from the clock diagram in file sch-29683_d7 of "i.MX 8QXP Design Files for the i.MX 8QXP MEK") Also, there is only one 25MHz crystal in the file BOM-29683_D5.xlsx. It's 405C35B25M00000.

Hence, I would like to make sure my information is correct:

1. the clock frequency of PTP4L used in i.MX8QXP is 25MHz

2. the clock source of the NIC in i.MX8QXP is 405C35B25M00000

 

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

clocks are described in sect. Clock Control Module (CCM) i.MX8MDQ Reference Manual
https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/reference-manual/IMX8MDQLQRM.pdf

in uboot sources one can look at

imx-common\arm\arch - uboot-imx - i.MX U-Boot 

in linux one needs to follow clock framework rules:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/clk.txt 
https://elinux.org/images/b/b8/Elc2013_Clement.pdf 

 

clk-imx8mq.c\imx\clk\drivers - linux-imx - i.MX Linux kernel 

 

Regards
