Hello, William

Thanks for the response.
Do you aware any workaround ? The customer want to stay with RHEL v6.3 for some reason.

Have you tried time-keeper on v6.3?

PTP support starts from kernel 3.10x. Red Hat has backported this support into kernel 2.6x starting from 6.4 so I don't think that a workaround exists for 6.4.I had the same problem.
Even if you can compile you will probably have problems with the network driver.

Subject: [Linuxptp-users] Compile issue in RHEL v6.3

Dear,

I have a customer who use HP DL380Gen8 server with RHEL v6.3 OS.
They want to implement PTP with HP NC560 (Intel(r) 82599 Controller) NIC.

They encountered problem when they try to compile linuxptp.

grep: /usr/include/linux/net_tstamp.h: No such file or directory
ptp4l.c:25:30: error: linux/net_tstamp.h: No such file or directory

There is no net_tstamp.h in kernel-header package of RHEL 6.3 kernel 2.6.32-279.el6.
RHEL v6.4 has net_tstamp.h.

Is there any way to compile linuxptp on RHEL v6.3 ?
If not, what is technical issue in RHEL v6.3.

According to linuxptp.sourceforge.net we need set below kernel config  option but  it seems like only CONFIG_PPS is available as module. In RHEL v6.3
Is there any workaround?

Option

Description

CONFIG_PPS

Required

CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING

Timestamping in PHY devices

PTP_1588_CLOCK

PTP clock support
