# # PTP clock support configuration # menu "PTP clock support" comment "Enable Device Drivers -> PPS to see the PTP clock options." depends on PPS=n config PTP_1588_CLOCK tristate "PTP clock support" depends on EXPERIMENTAL depends on PPS help 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. config PTP_1588_CLOCK_GIANFAR tristate "Freescale eTSEC as PTP clock" depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK depends on GIANFAR help 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. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called gianfar_ptp. config PTP_1588_CLOCK_IXP46X tristate "Intel IXP46x as PTP clock" depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK depends on IXP4XX_ETH help This driver adds support for using the IXP46X 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. To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ptp_ixp46x. comment "Enable PHYLIB and NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING to see the additional clocks." depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK && (PHYLIB=n || NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING=n) config DP83640_PHY tristate "Driver for the National Semiconductor DP83640 PHYTER" depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK depends on NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING depends on PHYLIB ---help--- 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_timetamp() function. endmenu
