The IEEE 1588 standard defines a method to precisely
|
synchronize distributed clocks over Ethernet networks. The
|
standard defines a Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which can
|
be used to achieve synchronization within a few dozen
|
microseconds. In addition, with the help of special hardware
|
time stamping units, it can be possible to achieve
|
synchronization to within a few hundred nanoseconds.

|
This driver adds support for PTP clocks as character
|
devices. If you want to use a PTP clock, then you should
|
also enable at least one clock driver as well.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module

will be called ptp.

This driver adds support for using the eTSEC as a PTP
|
clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
|
getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
|
using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.

Supports the DP83640 PHYTER with IEEE 1588 features.
|
|
This driver adds support for using the DP83640 as a PTP
|
clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
|
getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
|
using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.
|
|
In order for this to work, your MAC driver must also
|
implement the skb_tx_timestamp() function.

|
help
|
This driver adds support for using the PCH EG20T as a PTP
|
clock. The hardware supports time stamping of PTP packets
|
when using the end-to-end delay (E2E) mechansim. The peer
|
delay mechansim (P2P) is not supported.
|
|
This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are getting
|
hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets using the
|
SO_TIMESTAMPING API.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
|
