Hello everyone,
Is there a way to create more than one PTP profile in ROS?
I have the following hardware setup:
GNSS system as PTP master (Profile: 802.1AS)
-> CRS312 (Switch 1) as Boundary Clock or Master (If GNSS system not available)
-> some gPTP (Profile: 802.1AS) slave devices
-> only gPTP (Profile: 802.1AS) capable slave devices
-> CRS312 (Switch 2) as Boundary Clock
-> some gPTP (Profile: 802.1AS) slave devices
-> only PTP (Profile: G.8275.1) capable slave device // new device
This means that I generally have devices that can only use the gPTP or AUTOSAR profiles as PTP slaves. This has worked so far.
I now have a new device on Switch 2 that doesn’t support gPTP (Profile: 802.1AS) but only PTP (Profile: G.8275.1) as a slave.
That means I have slaves that only support gPTP and slaves that only support PTP.
I thought I could create a second PTP profile with Profile: G.8275.1 on Switch 2 and configure the switch as the PTP master for the PTP device slave’s port.
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to create a second PTP profile.
How can I solve this problem, or are there better solutions?
Kind regards,
bezef
