Ethernet TSN gPTP on CPSW along with LwIP stack

Introduction

This Ethernet TSN example illustrates the usage of gPTP IEEE 802.1AS stack with CPSW peripheral with LwIP network stack running in parallel. Here we demonstrate a simple TCP echo server using netconn APIs with the LwIP stack. On the gPTP front, the application used here supports all the below modes: - gPTP End-Point time_transmitter mode (i.e. master mode) - gPTP End-Point time_receiver mode (i.e. slave mode) - gPTP Bridge mode

In this example, two Rx and two Tx DMA channels are used, one Rx and one Tx channel specific to gPTP traffic and one Rx and one Tx channel specific to non-gPTP traffic, this is handled by LwIP stack.

Please refer to the EXAMPLES_ENET_LWIP_CPSW_TCPSERVER page for LwIP TCP echo server documentation.

Please refer to the Ethernet TSN gPTP Examples page for the above gPTP mode specific documentation.

See also :Ethernet TSN and gPTP Stack - API and Integration Guide for gPTP stack documentation.

Steps to Run the Example

Prerequisites

EVM Board
Cat6 ethernet cable
PC with Linux Ubuntu OS (or any PC running bash shell) and PTP capable network card
Install linuxptp

$ sudo apt-get install linuxptp
$ ptp4l -v

Configure linuxptp

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/richardcochran/linuxptp/master/configs/gPTP.cfg -O ~/gptp_config.cfg

Attention

Change the value of priority1 in ~/gptp_config.cfg file to 100, to enforce it to gPTP master

Attention

For some network cards, there is a bug with internal propagation delay. So, in those cases you might need to increase the neighborPropDelayThresh in ptp_config.cfg as below-

$ cat ~/gptp_config.cfg
\#
\# 802.1AS example configuration containing those attributes which
\# differ from the defaults.  See the file, default.cfg, for the
/# complete list of available options.

logAnnounceInterval     0

priority1 in ~/gptp_config.cfg file can be changed to make the Linux PC master or slave. Lower the number higher the priority to become master.

Please refer to the EXAMPLES_ENET_LWIP_CPSW_TCPSERVER page to start a TCP client on PC.

To Configure Static IP

Please refer to NETWORKING_LWIP_STATIC_IP.

Build the example

Note

Due to EVM limitation of only 1 MAC address available in the EEPROM, manual MAC address entries have been added using Sysconfig.\n To modify them, go to Enet (CPSW) > System integration config, and modify the entries under ‘MAC Address List’ option.

When using CCS projects to build, import the CCS project for the required combination and build it using the CCS project menu (see Using SDK with CCS Projects).
When using makefiles to build, note the required combination and build using make command (see Using SDK with Makefiles)

HW Setup

Note

Make sure you have setup the EVM with cable connections. Refer to the appropriate EVM Setup guide:

EVM Setup

In addition do below steps.

PPS Output

PPS output is a square wave signal generated by the device. It is used for comparison between the TT (master) and TR( slave) nodes when they are time synchronized. On the device, PPS is generated on the SYNC_OUT signal pin from CPTS (Common Platform Time Synchronization) of CPSW.

Out of box configuration for PPS signal output of this example is as follow:

EVM	Mapped Signal Name	SOC Pin Name	PPS frequency	Output
am64x-EVM	PRG0_PRU0_GPO17	U1	3.814 KHz	Pin B8 on J2 (i.e PIN8 on J2B) connector
am243x-EVM	PRG0_PRU0_GPO17	U1	3.814 KHz	Pin B8 on J2 (i.e PIN8 on J2B) connector
am243x-LP	MMC1_DAT2	K20	3.814 KHz	Pin3 on J6 connector
am263x-CC	SFDM0_CLK1	A16	3.814 KHz	Pin4 on J6 connector
am263x-LP	SFDM0_CLK1	A16	3.814 KHz	Pin4 on J6 connector

To set/modify configuration of PPS signal , you may follow the below steps:

Configure the bitSelect in EnetApp_enableTsSync() function in tsnapp_cpsw_main.c file. If bit n is selected, 2^(n+1) nano seconds is the time period of the square wave. Please note bitSelect starts from bit 17 which corresponds to 3.814 KHz.
Configure pinmux for PPS Output signal under ENET(CPSW)->’pinmux Config’->’CPTS0_TS_SYNC(CPTS0_TS_SYNC)’ and select the appropriate pin as per your EVM.

![**Figure**: Syscfg tool CPSW pinmux changes to select PPS signal pin](../../images/networking/gptp_pps_out_syscfg_gui1.png)

Signal is generated on the above configured PIN. You may connect oscilloscope on the pin to visualize and compare. One sample signal captured using oscilloscope. Blue from gPTP TT (master) and purple is from gPTP TR (slave)

![**Figure**: Signal captured on oscilloscope](../../images/networking/gptp_pps_out_scope_capture.jpg)

Create a network between EVM and host PC

EVM and PC has to be connected directly as shown below using CAT6 or CAT5 cable. If there is an ethernet switch placed in between, make sure the switch is gPTP capable. Connect both EVM and PC to a DHCP server to get the IP addresses.

Local network between PC and EVM PORT1 instead of PORT0 on EVM can be used as well.

Run the example

Attention

If you need to reload and run again, a CPU power-cycle is MUST

Execute the below command in PC terminal to start the gPTP on linux:

$ sudo ptp4l -i eno1 -m -l 6 -q -f ~/gptp_config.cfg

Replace eno1 with the network interface connected to your PC.

After the evm gets the IP address, you can ping the IP address to verify the connection.
Execute the below command in PC terminal to start a TCP communication with the EVM.

ncat <ip-address-of-evm> 8888

You will see logs in the UART terminal as shown in the next section. PC side logs are with Intel i210 card.

Launch a CCS debug session and run the example executable, see CCS Launch, Load and Run

Connect board and PC as mentioned in “HW Setup” above.
