7.3.1.1.2.1 PTP Time Read or Write

The PTP Time Read or Write is done using the same register PTP_TDR. Since the time value is 62 bits, the register needs to be read/written 4 times to access the whole time value. The Setting time through the PTP Time Data Register involves writing all four time fields to the PTP_TDR and then issuing a 'Load PTP Clock' command through the PTP Control Register. The Time value can also be read using the PTP_TDR register by first setting the 'Read PTP Clock' command in the PTP Control Register and then reading all four time fields.

Writing a time value requires the following steps in the same order

  1. Write Clock_time_ns[15:0] to PTP_TDR
  2. Write Clock_time_ns[31:16] to PTP_TDR
  3. Write Clock_time_sec[15:0] to PTP_TDR
  4. Write Clock_time_sec[31:16] to PTP_TDR
  5. Write to PTP_CTL with the 'Load PTP Clock' bit set

Read a time value requires the following steps in the same order

  1. Write to PTP_CTL with the 'Read PTP Clock' bit set
  2. Read Clock_time_ns[15:0] from PTP_TDR
  3. Read Clock_time_ns[31:16] from PTP_TDR
  4. Read Clock_time_sec[15:0] from PTP_TDR
  5. Read Clock_time_sec[31:16] from PTP_TDR
