Re: [Linuxptp-users] Adding LinuxPTP to Arria 10 SoC

[Baya O. <bay...@gm...>]

Hallo Reid,

I am about to use PTP on my Altera Cyclone V. I want to use the altera 1588
solution IP core. Iam using quaturs to set my system .. Please could you
let me know what variable I should enable in the configuration, also which
PTP open software do you use. Will it work by using the PTP Linux one? or
is there a version for NIOS Altera.

I thank you in advance for your help,
Baya
