[Linuxptp-users] Unable to run linuxptp-1.6 in kernel 3.13 in ubuntu 14.04

[Namit <nam...@gm...>]

Hi,
    For the past week, I am trying to run linuxptp-1.6 but it is giving 
errors. I give the following command- "ptp4l -i eth0 -m"
The error is "the device eth0 does not have timestamping capability". Also
when I run ethtool -i eth0 it gives that \
PTP Hardware Clock : none
Hardware Transmit Timestamp Modes : none
Hardware receive Filter Modes : none

I installed ixgbe driver also. But still no results.
Also I tried to install igb driver but it is not compatible with the current
kernel.

My question is :
"How do I enable hardware timestamping and PTP clock hardware in ubuntu 14.04??"
Also, I try to run the code testptp.c but it is also throwing several errors
like:
storage value of desc not defined
undeclared n_pins etc. etc.

Please help me out..

Those two drivers are for two completely different cards.  First off,
you need to find out what hardware you have for eth0.  What do the
following two commands tell you?

  1. ethtool -i eth0
  2. lspci

Thanks,
Richard

Right, so this device doesn't have any HW timestamping abilities, and
neither the igb nor the ixgbe drivers are useful here.

(More info in my reply to your other post...)
