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

[Ledda W. E. <Wil...@it...>]

Hello, 
I started directly with 6.4 and currently I'm using 6.5 with an Intel i350. I don't have any workaround for 6.3. What about to compile and install a kernel 3.10x?

Regards

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.

Dear,

I have a customer who use HP DL380Gen8 server with RHEL v6.3 OS.
They want to implement PTP with HP NC560 (Intel® 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
