Hi all, I am very new in using linuxptp. I want to synchronize two PC using a separate point-to-point Ethernet connection between both PCs. This Ethernet connection is used only for PTP, any other network traffic is routed via another NIC.
Kernel 3.2.48-rt69 (RT_PREEMPT patch). I use the Intel Gigabit CT Desktop adapter (82574L). For this is use the latest e1000e driver (Version 2.5.4) and build it outside the kernel to have the PTP support. One of the PCs (PCA) runs using 64 bit kernel, the other PC (PCB) runs using a 32 bit kernel. linux-ptp version 1.3. On PCA I start the following commands: # ./ptp4l -i eth1 -p /dev/ptp1 -m -H -P and after a couple of seconds: # ./phc2sys -s /dev/ptp1 -w -m On PCB I do the very same (unless I have to use /dev/ptp0 here). This works really fine for a while. However after a while the value of phc explodes dramatically. The value will be -35192325800 which looks like a kind of value overrun! In hex this is 0xFFFFFFF7CE5FB958. Please see the logfiles below. What could be the issue for that?!? Thanks for any feedback on this! Regards Mathias Here are extracts of the logfiles of the two PCs.
