    Hello,
    I'm looking for some tutorial of the ptpd usage, or some examples…
    I was using it on a BeagleBone and the PC with these commands:
    PC: sudo ptpc -c -b usb0 -d -D -f output.csv -p 1
    BeagleBone: sudo ptpc -c -d -D -f output.csv -g

    I don't know if these are wrong, but there isn't really anything I want to do now, I just want to do some tests to know how this works… my last goal is to syncronize many BeagleBones.
    That's why I'm asking for some documentation resources, I couldn't find any for starters.

    I'm sorry if this is confusing. Anyway, thanks!

    Are you using version 1 or 2?  There are manual pages for both, but I suggest you use ptpd2.  Do you have a grandmaster somewhere or are you just going to use your "PC" for that?

    I am using version 2. But I couldn't find a manual for it (besides the "man" pages)…
    I didn't think of what I will use for the synchronization… probably a grandmaster.
