Re: [time-nuts] Ebay Huawei Ublox M8T Modules Warning

2021-02-04 Thread Bob kb8tq
Hi

Again, in case anybody else is interested ….

https://www.ebay.com/itm/ON-SALE-U-BLOX-ublox-LEA-M8T-0-10-HUAWEI-GPS-Timing-Module-Board/333778776570?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Turns out to be a bit more than what the listing implies. The parts I got
also came with a cable that goes from the round connector on the assembly
to an HDMI connector. That explains the HDMI connector pinout information
in the listing. 

The big ugly “plate” turns out to be easily removed from the assembly. 
That leaves you with a nice die cast box that is roughly 3 x 2.5 x 1”. It 
mounts to the plate via 4 small screws. 

Since you have a cable that fits the round connector, wiring it up to this or
that should be pretty easy.

Yes, the price keeps climbing ….

While true for many pins, usually quite a few are not muxed.  Those
deemed necessary for all designs or with specialized drivers.  So
typically there will be no mux for power pins, dram interface, xtal
inputs, and high speed differential data, like USB3, PCIe, SGMII, MIPI
CSI or DSI.  Or perhaps muxing between different high speed serial
interfaces.

It seems to be very common for ARM SoC chips to be designed to be
clocked by either an XTAL and a built in oscillator, or via an
external clock generator connected to the same pin.  But, I've never
seen a SoC where this pin could be muxed.

I've not seen one where the input clock frequency had much of a range.
It might be 24-26 MHz, but never 10 - 52 MHz.  At least documented.
But the clock is invariably an input to a programmable PLL or PLLs,
and those PLLs are likely programmable with a rather wider range of
multipliers and dividers than required for the limited documented
input frequency range.

One might have better luck with a chip from Ti or NXP, since, unlike
Broadcom, they have documentation on how their clocks and PLLs work.

[time-nuts] Symmetricom uccm module

2021-02-04 Thread paul swed
Some years ago these modules were mentioned on Time-nuts. They were typical
Ebay stuff. I purchased one and really didn't do anything with it. Time
goes by. Was organizing stuff and had forgotten I even had it. Fired it up
and have to say its a pretty impressive little unit.
Like the fact that when warm it consumes 4 watts. LadyHeather works great
with it. All of this has been known and well documented. Just very nice to
see and most likely use as a small free standing GPSDO with a
reasonably fast warm up time. I also added a small battery for backup. The
advantage of this is it eliminates the automatic survey on power up that
takes some 3 hours.
Anyhow a very belated thanks for mentioning these units.

One of the big problems with the RPi family is that only a skeleton
datasheet has been made available - because: Qualcom magic sauce
recipe or similar verbiage..

I've heard a lot of gripes about precisely the clock circuits being
underdocumented, but I have deliberately stayed well clear of the
details.

Plan B would be to avoid the 10=>54 PLL chip by reprogramming the software 
that sets up the internal PLLs to run off 10 MHz rather than 54MHz.  That may 
not be possible.  It depends on how the clocking inside the ARM chip is setup.

If you are lucky, you won't need to change the kernel.  If you are half-lucky, 
you have to make a few tweaks to the kernel software and rebuild.

-

In case anybody isn't familiar with ARM SOC chips, they typically have a layer 
of muxes between the external pins and the internal I/O devices.  I don't know 
if the chip used in the Pi-4 works this way.  Quite likely.

It's a chinese menu sort of deal, only more complicated.  If you get the beef 
from column A, you can't get the chicken from column B.

The basic idea is that there are more I/O devices on the chip than there are 
pins.  After reset, all the pins are setup as GPIO input so they don't 
accidentally drive an input pin.  There is a mux in front of each input signal 
to an I/O device that picks the signal from one of several pins.  There is a 
mux on the output side of each pin that selects from an output of several I/O 
devices.

The system designer has to find a combination of mux settings that works for 
the application.  Leftover pins can be used as GPIO.  And the clocking is 
tangled up in there.

[time-nuts] LEA M8T boards

2021-02-04 Thread Matthias Welwarsky
Dear all,

When the availability of some surplus Ublox M8T modules was announced, I 
ordered a few of them and started designing a small breakout board for them. 
The design meanwhile had a little cool-down period and matured somewhat. Since 
I realized that for most people it can be quite daunting to un-solder the LEA 
modules from the PCB cut-off they come delivered on, I ordered a few more of 
them and had a small batch of the breakout boards assembled as well.

So, in a few days I'll have about 22 LEA modules and 25 breakout boards 
waiting to be mated. Since the LEA modules are all pulls (or rather cut-outs) 
and are still on their carrier PCBs, I'm not sure what the final yield will 
be.

If anyone's interested in buying a module + breakout board (assembled and 
tested), drop me an email off-list.

Best regards,
Matthias

Feeding a 10MHz (suitably conditioned) clock signal directly from a Rb into a 
Beaglebone Black's external clock input (available on the extension header) 
and adding a small driver module to use a timer driven by this external clock 
as system clocksource is _way_ easier.

Just my €0.02

The same things as replacing the XTAL on an RPi 1…3 I'd guess.  So, you need 
to remove the XTAL (hot air rework station), figure out which pin you need to 
feed the external clock into (the "return from XTAL" path), and actually 
create a rubidium stabilized 54MHz (using a clock synthesizer like the SiLabs 
SI53xx series, for which you can get breakout boards rather easily).

Not much, see above.

However you'll probably find that it really is overkill and you can get much 
of the same end result more easily or much cheaper.  For instance a good OCXO 
or even TCXO would already get you the sort of stability that the other 
sources of timing uncertainty produced by the whole SoC / OS interaction start 
to dominate.  I haven't gotten myself a Pi4 yet, but I expect that self-
ovenization would still work more or less the same as with the earlier models, 
so you might not even need to touch the XTAL.

Achim.

This trick has gotten a lot harder over the decades.

Higher and higher PLL ratios in the chips means they demand more of their clock 
signal.

I dont know if the datasheet for the Rpi4 is available to check
what the requirements are, but you should probably expect to need
some kind of PLL chip to deliver a clean 54 MHz on the RPi4, locked
to your external frequency.

Only because you can get it as a pre-assembled dev board:

https://www.silabs.com/timing/clock-generators/cmos/device.si5350c-gm1

at a semi-rational price. 

Most modern chips are a bit difficult to deal with. That makes finding a
dev board important. If you are set up to layout and assemble SMT PCB’s
then there are a lot of choices ( as in several hundred devices).

Re: [time-nuts] Raspberry Pi 4 oscillator replacement

2021-02-04 Thread Bob kb8tq
Hi

Pretty basic approach:

1) Get a Rb standard. 

2) Grab any of the various conversion chips to take the 10 MHz to 54
(= I don’t know of a standard that puts out 54 MHz). Wire the 10 into it
and pull the 54 off of it. (Yes, the chip needs to be programmed and 
there will be various bits and pieces connected to it)

3) Rip the oscillator (or crystal) off the RPi board. 

4) Figure out which pin is the drive to the crystal and which is the return.
(or which is the output if it’s an oscillator)

5) Wire the 54 MHz into the return / osc out pin. 

6) Power it all up off of a common supply ( = power the conversion 
chip off the RPi’s regulator.

Yes there is a lot of research needed to complete all of that. 

When done you would need to figure out how to ( … if you can ) disable
the spread spectrum stuff on the clock. You still would be stuck with
the normal issues related to clock frequency stepping ( turbo mode …).
How much of that actually gets you on an RPi 4 … who knows.

I was wondering if anyone here has replaced the 54 MHz oscillator on the
Raspberry Pi 4 with a GNSS-disciplined rubidium standard? An overkill
upgrade, but is technically doable? What hardware would it take in addition
to a GNSS-disciplined rubidium standard and a Pi 4?

Here's where I got my inspiration from, someone replacing the oscillator on
a Pi 3 with a TXCO:
