Hello, The specs for the new X15 are quite impressive. However I think it is missing one thing: PHY chips that support IEEE 1588, i.e. Precision Time Protocol (PTP). For example: http://www.ti.com/product/DP83640 which is TIs DP83640 chip. I think this would open up the board to even more developers, not just myself. The X15 could really benefit from using PTP to sync with the outside world.
I am currently looking for a dev board for prototyping. The BeagleBoard-X15 fits my needs perfectly, except for the lack of IEEE 1588 supporting PHYs. Here are my questions: 1. Is there any possibility that this will be incorporated into the design of the X15? 2. How hard is the process of adding IEEE 1588 support to the X15 (hardware-wise)? It's not as simple as replacing the chip, is it? (seems too easy to be correct) LR -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
