[Linuxptp-users] software timestamp mode

[frank <sou...@gm...>]

Hi,

I would like to use linuxptp in a project using hardware timestamp mode.
The project accesses the ptp time by calling clock_gettime with a
clock_id derived from /dev/ptp0.

However my automatic regression system host(jenkins) does not support
this mode.
So I modified the ptp4l.conf file to use
..
time_stamping software
..

There seems to be ptp activity and the host even seems to become master
for the ptp system,
but I cannot get the ptp time as /dev/ptp0 does not exist.

Do I need to change more configuration settings? Or is this the wrong
way to do things?

kind regards
  Frank
