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

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

28 | will be called ptp. | ||

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

65 | Supports the DP83640 PHYTER with IEEE 1588 features. | ||
66 | |||
67 | This driver adds support for using the DP83640 as a PTP | ||
68 | clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are | ||
69 | getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets | ||
70 | using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API. | ||
71 | |||
72 | In order for this to work, your MAC driver must also | ||
73 | implement the skb_tx_timetamp() function. | ||
