The captured timestamp is always presented out-of-band for 1-step and 2-step frame transmission, using a dedicated AXI4-Stream interface. The signal is defined in the following table.
The following figure shows a timing diagram showing the operation of this interface.
Name | Direction | Description |
---|---|---|
m_axis_tx_ts_data[127:0] | Out |
Bits[31:0] – Captured Timestamp Nanoseconds field. Bits[79:32] – Captured Timestamp Seconds field. Bits[95:80] – Original 16-bit Tag Field for the frame (from the Tag Field of the Command Field for the frame sent for transmission). Bits[127:96] – Reserved. |
m_axis_tx_ts_tvalid | Out | AXI4-Stream Transmit Timestamp Data Valid from the Ethernet MAC. |
