Overview |
||||||
|
******** |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
PTP is a network protocol implemented in the application layer, used to synchronize |
||||||
|
clocks in a computer network. It's accurate up to less than a microsecond. |
||||||
|
The stack supports the protocol and procedures as defined in the `IEEE 1588-2019 standard`_ |
||||||
|
(IEEE Standard for a Precision Clock Synchronization Protocol |
||||||
|
for Networked Measurement and Control Systems). It has multiple profiles, |
||||||
|
and can be implemented on top of L2 (Ethernet) or L3 (UDP/IPv4 or UDP/IPv6). |
||||||
|
Its accuracy is achieved by using hardware timestamping of the protocol packets. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Zephyr's implementation of PTP stack consist following items: |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* PTP stack thread that handles incoming messages and events |
||||||
|
* Integration with ptp_clock driver |
||||||
|
* PTP stack initialization executed during system init |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The implementation automatically creates PTP Ports (each PTP Port coresponds to unique interface). |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

Enabling the stack |
||||||
|
****************** |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following configuration option must me enabled in :file:`prj.conf` file. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_PTP` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Testing |
||||||
|
******* |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The stack has been informally tested using the |
||||||
|
`Linux ptp4l <http://linuxptp.sourceforge.net/>`_ daemons. |
||||||
|
The :zephyr:code-sample:`PTP sample application <ptp>` from the Zephyr |
||||||
|
source distribution can be used for testing. |
