AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to achieve sub-microsecond level high-precision time synchronization in heterogeneous multi-core on-chip systems. Furthermore, existing solutions suffer from insufficient synchronization accuracy, high hardware costs, and significant integration challenges, failing to meet the demands of advanced autonomous driving.
By using bidirectional message exchange with hardware timestamps in a heterogeneous multi-core system, synchronization time parameters, including basic time deviation, reference synchronization timestamp, and frequency ratio, are obtained. By utilizing the bidirectional measurement mechanism of the precision time protocol and combining it with hardware counters to directly read the timestamp, sub-microsecond time synchronization between cores is achieved.
It achieves sub-microsecond time synchronization accuracy at the pure software level, reduces hardware costs and integration complexity, adapts to highly integrated SoC architectures, provides a reliable time reference, and solves the time consistency requirements of L3 and above autonomous driving systems.
