Re: [Linuxptp-users] How to properly use twoStepFlag=0

[Timo K. <tko...@ci...>]

I just want to give a feedback on this discussion, since I now have a 
ONESTEP_SYNC capable network card from microchip: EVB-7430 [1]
I am using an Ubuntu 18.04.2 with an 4.19.26-041926-generic kernel (the 
stock 4.18 won't work since the drivers are too old) and the stock ptp4l 
v1.8.

Everything seems to work with one-step-sync enabled!

Just for reference, the output of "ethtool -T enp1s0"
Time stamping parameters for enp1s0:
Capabilities:
     hardware-transmit     (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE)
     software-transmit     (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE)
     hardware-receive      (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE)
     software-receive      (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE)
     software-system-clock (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SOFTWARE)
     hardware-raw-clock    (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE)
PTP Hardware Clock: 1
Hardware Transmit Timestamp Modes:
     off                   (HWTSTAMP_TX_OFF)
     on                    (HWTSTAMP_TX_ON)
     one-step-sync         (HWTSTAMP_TX_ONESTEP_SYNC)
Hardware Receive Filter Modes:
     none                  (HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NONE)
     all                   (HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL)

Greetings,
Timo
