Now it is time to cut the 1.9 release. If you know of any outstanding
bugs or issues, please report them right away!
I have two issues, both concerning 802.1AS:
1) ph2c2sys uses in "autodetect" (-a -r) or "wait for ptp4l" (-w) mode
pmc-functionality to do his job. Unfortunately, the constant value "0"
is used for the transportSpecific parameter, which is wrong for 802.1AS,
and thus avoids using these modes successfully in phc2sys.
I added an optional parameter to phc2sys ("-T 1"), which passes the
802.1AS conformant value to the used pmc-functionality to make phc2sys
work correct for 802.1AS.
Unfortunately, I have no access to my code during this weekend, so I can
provide the patch not before Monday. It is only a good handfull of code
and another handfull for the docs.
2) When using layer 2 for management via pmc command, the management
PDUs are sent to further devices via the multicast address
01:1B:19:00:00:00, which doesn't work for 802.1AS.
I made a quick solution which isn't usable publicly this way, but works
for me: I read in and use a config file (to be precise: the very same
which I use for ptp4l). Might be made more general usable by respecting
the priority of command line parameters.
Another solution would be to pass a parameter down to the function
pmc_send() to make this function use transport_peer() instead of
transport_send(), but this would mess up a big bunch of code, so this
isn't a real option. The smoothiest way might be to change the
config_tab[] on the fly. Any suggestions what might be the best?
...
In one week's time I'll push v1.9 out the door.
Would be nice, if my first issue would make it into 1.9 . For the second
issue, I don't see a realistic chance to provide a solid solution in time.
Kind Regards,
Peter
