This module manual provides information about the North Atlantic Industries, Inc. (NAI) IRIG Timecode Receiver and Generator Function Module:
RG1. This module is compatible with all latest generation NAI motherboards.
The RG1 synchronizes to IRIG time codes and provides precise time in a memory register for the host SBC.
For a brief description of the modules and complete list of specifications, click here for the RG1 data sheet.
FEATURES

Built-in Test and Functions
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The RG1 Time Code receiver synchronizes to IRIG-A/B/G time codes and provides precise time in a memory register, for the host SBC. The IRIG
output of the card can be used to synchronize other IRIG time code readers. Additionally, the RG1 includes a real-time clock (RTC) that may be
used as a reference source for IRIG master applications.
The most common format is IRIG-B, but the module can also support IRIG-A and IRIG-G formats as well.
The IRIG format can be configured to the user’s needs. Available features include output IRIG data streams, IRIG format, control field contents (if
supported by selected IRIG format), daylight savings time, offsets, and amplitude adjustment.
Measurement
The RG1 provides precise time in a memory register through a continuously running master timer. The time information is provided in
year/day/hr/min/sec/nsec/seconds-since-midnight and is subject to the selected IRIG format. The master time is derived from either an external
IRIG or onboard real-time clock (RTC) reference source. A free-running time can also be applied to the master timer when an IRIG reference
source is not available.
Control/Configuration
The RG1 features several attributes that can be configured to affect the behavior of the master timer including:
IRIG protocol (B122, B123, B124, etc.)
IRIG format (Mode A, B, or G)
IRIG modulation (DCLS, AM ASK, or DC Manchester)
Reference source (IRIG, local RTC)
Free-running time (nominally for test)
Daylight Savings Time (DST)
Offset
1PPS pulse width and period settings
Capture Event
The RG1 allows the user to set the capture event time of the specified IRIG channel. The time information is provided in
hr/min/sec/tenths/millisec/sub-millisec and is subject to the selected IRIG protocol and format. The capture event registers also display the current
state of event input and can be configured to detect rising or falling edges.
Real Time Clock (RTC)
The RG1 includes a real-time clock (RTC) that can be used as a reference source for IRIG master applications. This feature frees the system
processor from the task of updating the master timer. The RTC provides several advantages over the ‘set and forget’ functionality of the master
timer.
It provides a reference that allows for better long-term stability and reduces the potential for drift.
A stable time reference can be set in environments where network connectivity to a time source is unavailable.
Time will be preserved across power failures if a ‘keep-alive’ power source is provided. See DATIO19 (BKUP_PWR) in APPENDIX: PINOUT DETAILS.
The user must setup the RTC date and time before reading the master timer. Additional adjustments to the master time can be made through the
daylight savings time (DST) and offset registers.
Built-In Test (BIT)/Diagnostic Capability
Automatic background BIT testing is provided. Each channel is checked for correct voltage, current and frequency. Any failure triggers an
interrupt, if enabled, with the results available in the status registers. The testing is totally transparent to the user and has no effect on the
operation of this module.
Status and Interrupts
The RG1 Function Module provides registers that indicate faults or events. Refer to ‘Status and Interrupts Module Manual’ for the Principle of
Operation description.
Module Common Registers
The RG1 Function Module includes module common registers that provide access to module-level bare metal/FPGA revisions & compile times,
unique serial number information, and temperature/voltage/current monitoring. Refer to “Module Common Registers Module Manual” for the
detailed information.
REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS
The register descriptions provide the Register Name, Type, Data Range, Read or Write information, power on default initialized values, a
description of the function and a data table where applicable.
Measurement Registers
Master Timer Registers
The following registers provide the Master Time in terms of Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Tenths of Seconds, Milliseconds, and Sub-millisecond. The
master time is derived from either IRIG, onboard real-time clock (RTC), or Free Running time reference source.
Note
Reading the Master Time register that contains the Hours, Minutes, Seconds, and Tenths of Seconds will freeze the Master Time and
Master Date registers until the next read.

Operational Settings:
The IRIG drift threshold is the number of seconds before an 'excessive drift' interrupt is triggered. The time is measured by comparing the master time with the actual IRIG source. The countdown starts when master time is not locked on to a reference. When the count reaches zero and the master time remains not locked on to a reference, the actual Reference source register (0x10E4) will be set to 7 (coasting for too long) and the status change in reference source (D15) in General Status register will be set.

Interrupt Vector and Steering
When interrupts are enabled, the interrupt vector associated with the specific interrupt can be programmed (typically with a unique number/identifier) such that it can be utilized in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to identify the type of interrupt. When an interrupt occurs, the contents of the Interrupt Vector registers is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism.
In addition to specifying the interrupt vector, the interrupt can be directed (“steered”) to the native bus or to the application running on the onboard ARM processor.
Note
the Interrupt Vector and Interrupt Steering registers are mapped to the Motherboard Common Memory and these registers are associated with the Module Slot position (refer to Function Register Map).

STATUS REGISTERS
*When an event is detected, the bit associated with the event is set in this register and will remain set until the user clears the event bit. Clearing the bit requires writing a 1 back to the specific bit that was set when read (i.e., write-1-to-clear, writing a “1” to a bit set to “1” will set the bit to “0).

STATUS AND INTERRUPTS
Status registers indicate the detection of faults or events. The status registers can be channel bit-mapped or event bit-mapped. An example of a channel bit-mapped register is the BIT status register, and an example of an event bit-mapped register is the FIFO status register.
For those status registers that allow interrupts to be generated upon the detection of the fault or the event, there are four registers associated with each status: Dynamic, Latched, Interrupt Enabled, and Set Edge/Level Interrupt.
Dynamic Status: The Dynamic Status register indicates the current condition of the fault or the event. If the fault or the event is momentary, the contents in this register will be clear when the fault or the event goes away. The Dynamic Status register can be polled, however, if the fault or the event is sporadic, it is possible for the indication of the fault or the event to be missed.
Latched Status: The Latched Status register indicates whether the fault or the event has occurred and keeps the state until it is cleared by the user. Reading the Latched Status register is a better alternative to polling the Dynamic Status register because the contents of this register will not clear until the user commands to clear the specific bit(s) associated with the fault or the event in the Latched Status register. Once the status register has been read, the act of writing a 1 back to the applicable status register to any specific bit (channel/event) location will “clear” the bit (set the bit to 0). When clearing the channel/event bits, it is strongly recommended to write back the same bit pattern as read from the Latched Status register. For example, if the channel bit-mapped Latched Status register contains the value 0x0000 0005, which indicates fault/event detection on channel 1 and 3, write the value 0x0000 0005 to the Latched Status register to clear the fault/event status for channel 1 and 3. Writing a “1” to other channels that are not set (example 0x0000 000F) may result in incorrectly “clearing” incoming faults/events for those channels (example, channel 2 and 4).
Interrupt Enable: If interrupts are preferred upon the detection of a fault or an event, enable the specific channel/event interrupt in the Interrupt Enable register. The bits in Interrupt Enable register map to the same bits in the Latched Status register. When a fault or event occurs, an interrupt will be fired. Subsequent interrupts will not trigger until the application acknowledges the fired interrupt by clearing the associated channel/event bit in the Latched Status register. If the interruptible condition is still persistent after clearing the bit, this may retrigger the interrupt depending on the Edge/Level setting.
Set Edge/Level Interrupt: When interrupts are enabled, the condition on retriggering the interrupt after the Latch Register is “cleared” can be specified as “edge” triggered or “level” triggered. Note, the Edge/Level Trigger also affects how the Latched Register value is adjusted after it is “cleared” (see below).
Edge triggered: An interrupt will be retriggered when the Latched Status register change from low (0) to high (1) state. Uses for edge-triggered interrupts would include transition detections (Low-to-High transitions, High-to-Low transitions) or fault detections. After “clearing” an interrupt, another interrupt will not occur until the next transition or the re-occurrence of the fault again.
Level triggered: An interrupt will be generated when the Latched Status register remains at the high (1) state. Level-triggered interrupts are used to indicate that something needs attention.
Interrupt Vector and Steering
When interrupts are enabled, the interrupt vector associated with the specific interrupt can be programmed with a unique number/identifier defined by the user such that it can be utilized in the Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to identify the type of interrupt. When an interrupt occurs, the contents of the Interrupt Vector registers is reported as part of the interrupt mechanism. In addition to specifying the interrupt vector, the interrupt can be directed (“steered”) to the native bus or to the application running on the onboard ARM processor.
Interrupt Trigger Types
In most applications, limiting the number of interrupts generated is preferred as interrupts are costly, thus choosing the correct Edge/Level interrupt trigger to use is important.
Example 1: Fault detection
This example illustrates interrupt considerations when detecting a fault like an “open” on a line. When an “open” is detected, the system will receive an interrupt. If the “open” on the line is persistent and the trigger is set to “edge”, upon “clearing” the interrupt, the system will not regenerate another interrupt. If, instead, the trigger is set to “level”, upon “clearing” the interrupt, the system will re-generate another interrupt. Thus, in this case, it will be better to set the trigger type to “edge”.
Example 2: Threshold detection
This example illustrates interrupt considerations when detecting an event like reaching or exceeding the “high watermark” threshold value. In a communication device, when the number of elements received in the FIFO reaches the high-watermark threshold, an interrupt will be generated. Normally, the application would read the count of the number of elements in the FIFO and read this number of elements from the FIFO. After reading the FIFO data, the application would “clear” the interrupt. If the trigger type is set to “edge”, another interrupt will be generated only if the number of elements in FIFO goes below the “high watermark” after the “clearing” the interrupt and then fills up to reach the “high watermark” threshold value. Since receiving communication data is inherently asynchronous, it is possible that data can continue to fill the FIFO as the application is pulling data off the FIFO. If, at the time the interrupt is “cleared”, the number of elements in the FIFO is at or above the “high watermark”, no interrupts will be generated. In this case, it will be better to set the trigger type to “level”, as the purpose here is to make sure that the FIFO is serviced when the number of elements exceeds the high watermark threshold value. Thus, upon “clearing” the interrupt, if the number of elements in the FIFO is at or above the “high watermark” threshold value, another interrupt will be generated indicating that the FIFO needs to be serviced.
Dynamic and Latched Status Registers Examples
The examples in this section illustrate the differences in behavior of the Dynamic Status and Latched Status registers as well as the differences in behavior of Edge/Level Trigger when the Latched Status register is cleared.

Module Health Monitoring Registers
The registers in this section provide module temperature measurement information. If the temperature measurements reaches the Lower Critical or Upper Critical conditions, the module will automatically reset itself to prevent damage to the hardware.
Module Sensor Summary Status
Function:
The corresponding sensor bit is set if the sensor has crossed any of its thresholds.
Type:
unsigned binary word (32-bits)
Data Range:
See table below
Read/Write:
R
Initialized Value:

Module Sensor Registers
The registers listed in this section apply to each module sensor listed for the Module Sensor Summary Status register. Each individual sensor register provides a group of registers for monitoring module temperatures readings. From these registers, a user can read the current temperature of the sensor in addition to the minimum and maximum temperature readings since power-up. Upper and lower critical/warning temperature thresholds can be set and monitored from these registers. When a programmed temperature threshold is crossed, the Sensor Threshold Status register will set the corresponding bit for that threshold. The figure below shows the functionality of this group of registers when accessing the Interface Board PCB Temperature sensor as an example.
