13.2.1GPIO IEEE 1588 Timestamping
Two of the GPIO pins, GPIO[9:8], have the option to be used for IEEE 1588 time stamp functions. This allows a time stamp capture to be triggered when the GPIO is configured as an input, or output a signal from the GPIO based on an IEEE 1588 clock target compare event when configured as an output. Refer to Chapter 11, "IEEE 1588 Hardware Time Stamp Unit," on page 155 for additional information on the IEEE 1588 time stamping functions of the LAN9311/LAN9311i.
13.2.1.1IEEE 1588 GPIO Inputs
When the GPIO[9:8] pins are configured as inputs, an active edge will capture the IEEE 1588 clock into the high and low 1588 capture registers (1588_CLOCK_HI_CAPTURE_GPIO_x, and 1588_CLOCK_LO_CAPTURE_GPIO_x where “x” represents the number of the respective 1588 enabled GPIO) and set the corresponding interrupt flags GPIO[9:8]_INT and 1588_GPIO[9:8]_INT in the General Purpose I/O Interrupt Status and Enable Register (GPIO_INT_STS_EN) and 1588 Interrupt Status and Enable Register (1588_INT_STS_EN) respectively. The GPIO[9:8] inputs can also be configured to clear the Clock Target interrupt (1588_TIMER_INT) in the 1588 Interrupt Status and Enable Register (1588 _ INT _ STS _ EN) by setting the corresponding GPIO_1588_TIMER_INT_CLEAR_EN[9:8] bit in the General Purpose I/O Configuration Register (GPIO_CFG). GPIO inputs must be active for greater than 40nS to be recognized as capture or interrupt clear events.
13.2.1.2IEEE 1588 GPIO Outputs
The GPIO[9:8] pins can be configured as IEEE 1588 enabled outputs by setting the corresponding 1588_GPIO_OE[9:8] bits in the General Purpose I/O Configuration Register (GPIO_CFG). These bits override the GPDIR[9:8] bits of the General Purpose I/O Data & Direction Register (GPIO_DATA_DIR) and allow for GPIO output generation based on the IEEE 1588 clock target compare event. Clock target compare events occur when the value loaded into the 1588 Clock Target
Upon detection of a clock target compare event, GPIO[9:8] can be configured to output a 100nS pulse, toggle its output, or reflect the 1588_TIMER_INT bit in the 1588 Interrupt Status and Enable Register (1588_INT_STS_EN) by enabling the GPIO_EVENT_9 or GPIO_EVENT_8 bits of the 1588 Configuration Register (1588_CONFIG). The clock event polarity, which determines whether the IEEE 1588 GPIO output is active high or active low, is controlled via the GPIO_EVENT_POL_9 and GPIO_EVENT_POL_8 bits of the General Purpose I/O Configuration Register (GPIO_CFG).
Note: The 1588_GPIO_OE[9:8] bits do not override the GPIO buffer type bits GPIOBUF[9:8] in the General Purpose I/O Configuration Register (GPIO_CFG).
13.2.2GPIO Interrupts
Each GPIO of the LAN9311/LAN9311i provides the ability to trigger a unique GPIO interrupt in the General Purpose I/O Interrupt Status and Enable Register (GPIO_INT_STS_EN). Reading the GPIO_INT[11:0] bits of this register provides the current status of the corresponding interrupt, and each interrupt is enabled by setting the corresponding GPIO_INT_EN[11:0] bit. The GPIO/LED Controller aggregates the enabled interrupt values into an internal signal which is sent to the System Interrupt Controller and is reflected via the Interrupt Status Register (INT_STS) bit 12 (GPIO). For more information on the LAN9311/LAN9311i interrupts, refer to Chapter 5, "System Interrupts," on page 49.
13.2.2.1GPIO Interrupt Polarity
The interrupt polarity can be set for each individual GPIO via the GPIO_INT_POL[11:0] bits in the General Purpose I/O Configuration Register (GPIO_CFG). When set, a high logic level on the GPIO pin will set the corresponding interrupt bit in the General Purpose I/O Interrupt Status and Enable Register (GPIO_INT_STS_EN). When cleared, a low logic level on the GPIO pin will set the corresponding interrupt bit. Because GPIO[9:8] have added IEEE 1588 functionality, the
