hi, Can we create multiple PTP masters on 1 physical Ethernet port using virtual IP addresses? if it is a yes, how many IP addresses ptp4l can support on that port? thanks, Tim N.

I am trying to run ptpd with multiple slaves, but I cannot figure out how to achieve it. in my /etc/default/ptpd file I currently have "PTPD_OPTS="-M -i ens10f0" If I try to add one more interface here "PTPD_OPTS="-M -i ens10f0 ens10f1" it does not work. I tried launching ptpd twice with single interface, but does not work. I am using ubuntu 18.04.

Hi all, I'm having this same issue: the clocks take a long time (in the order of ten minutes) to synchronize when starting with an offset in the order of 100 ms. I'm running a system that cannot be kept powered up between uses. I see that some features @wowczarek mentioned, such as preserving the kernel frequency, have been implement in the newest version. However, I'm interested in what @Jan Breuer mentioned: how to lower the threshold for stepping the clock from 1 second to 10 ms, for example?...

Hi, I wish to use ptpd via vlan, from my understanding it should work "out of the box", I am running it on ubuntu server 16.04 and configured vlan via "vconfig". When I try to communicate the vlan from 2 instances of the ptpd (on different guests of same host machine and of course different networks cards) it seems to works fine. Yet, I have an embedded dedicated ptp machine that implements the protocol and when I try to communicate with it with vlan something odd happens, the first message that...

I have the same problem, I used wireshark to capture packet, but I didn't capture any request from slave.

I'm new to ptpd, but believe I have it configured correctly to act as a slave to a separate hardware master on my network. The master is configured to use 8265.1 and sees a slave connect when I start ptpd with the following options: ptpd2 -C -s -i enp3s0 -U -u xxx.xxx.xxx.91 -g -d 4 -r -4 where .91 is the master clocks IP address. The ptpd status file shows: 2017-09-12 08:48:46.054360, lstn_reset, 194 2017-09-12 08:48:47.058189, slv, 0020d2fffecd0642(unknown)/2, 0.000000000, 0.000000000, 0.000000000,...

Hello, I am beginner in ptpd and raspberry pi and I installed ptpd by using the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ptpd but when I checked the version I found it 2.3.0. How can I upgrade it to 2.3.1 I need that version because I have the same version on Fedora and I want to make comparsion between the output using the same version of ptpd Does anybody know how can I make it?

Hi Wojciech, Quick update. I have your branch of PTPd working on the Altera Cyclone V SoC. This infers (implies?) that PTPd should work on the Altera Arria V SoC, too, as both of these products use the eMAC licensed from ST Microelectronics. Thanks again for all your help! -Allan

Hi ! i want to implement the necessary timer component depending on FreeRTOS. My question is whether i should implement new timer_interface.c instead of ( eventtimer_posix.c, eventtimer_itimer.c ) and keep the (ptp_timers, eventtimer.c) unmodified or modify the ptp_timers.c depending on FreeRTOS. your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanx abir

Allan, OK - that would explain the reported empty messages received - as per the comment in the sources "mesage without a timestamp considered harmful". This is likely a driver issue. While for TX timestamps, PTPd has its own way of dealing with waiting for them - for RX timestamps it follows the API and does nothing special. Thanks, Wojciech

Hi Wojciech, I really appreciate the work you've done on implementing H/W timestamping -- Very nice! A little more about this environment: The Cyclone V SoC uses the ST Microelectronics EMAC, and the O/S I'm using is a Linux 4.10 kernel -- I'm not seeing txTimestampErrors as much as I'm seeing rxTimestampErrors errors: ~~~ 2017-06-29 22:31:58.763006 ptpd[558].(info) transport: ======= transport 'Event' error counters ====== 2017-06-29 22:31:58.763155 ptpd[558].(info) transport: rxErrors: 0 2017-06-29...

Hi there, What you are seeing is actually a "side effect" of the driver / OS not being able to capture the transmission timestamps of the delay request messages. This is a notorious problem with many cards and drivers, almost to be expected. Ptpd silently ignores this, but as a result you have sequence gaps, because the transmitted delayResp - which is physically transmitted - is considered not sent, and the response comes back, but is dropped. I think I will need to rework this, because this behaviour...

Hi! The Altera Cyclone V Soc has IEEE1588-2008 support in the MAC hardware. I have the 'wowczarek-2.3.2-libcck' branch working, mostly. The problem is, is that the sequence-numbers will occasionally get out of sync -- I'm including a snippet of the log-file that indicates this: 2017-06-29 20:58:05.189102 ptpd[558].(debug1) Received an empty PTP message (this should not happen) - ignoring 2017-06-29 20:58:05.189197 ptpd[558].(debug1) ==> DelayResp message received, sequence 36414 2017-06-29 20:58:05.189241...

Hi, The truth is that it doesn't really matter, because the slaves also run the BMCA, so even if two masters become active, slaves will select only one anyway. When the active master goes away, the other two will wait n * announce interval (configurable) and will consider themselves best and will start transmitting, possibly both. But soon after the "worse" of the two receives the first announce message from the "better" one, it will stop being master. Actually not as soon as, but soon.How long this...

Hi everybody. I have a question considering BMC algorithm in PTP. For example, if I have 3 nodes, in normal case, one node is grandmaster to other 2 nodes (grandmaster is connected with second node and second node is connected with third node) . But if I restart grandmaster node, is it possible that both of other two nodes become master? If it is possible, can you please explain how? Shouldn't BMC algorithm choose better from those two as master? Thanks in advance
