Time Synchronization

Platform time sync essentially represents the PTP topology and PTP profile supported for development and production use cases.

Supported Profiles

Use-cases Supported Profile Comments
Development (base config) AVNU CDS 1.6

With time aware switch

All networking nodes of the DRIVE development platforms are made time-aware systems/nodes, such as the Tegra CPU nodes, which act as time-aware end-stations, and all switches acts as time-aware bridge (Only AVNU CDS 1.6 profile).

Orin development platforms have total 2 different models of Ethernet switches connected on board.

  • Marvell 88Q5072 switch (OAK).
  • Marvell 88Q6113 switch (Spruce).

Both the switches has its own internal MCU and firmware capable of handling the PTP (AVNU CDS 1.6 profile ) locally in side switch. Hence switches are made time-aware bridge by enabling the PTP support in its firmware. All the external ports coming out of switches supports PTP with static PTP roles.

Production (safety config) AUTOSAR Time Synchronization Protocol (pdelay disabled) With Switch PTP Bypass (Switch Internal CPU disabled)
