Rich Schmidt sent me this photo he had already made. http://linuxptp.sourceforge.net/i210/i210-SDPs.jpg The "Software Defined Pins" (SDP) are on the right side of the 6 pin header. On the left side you have one 3.3V pin and two ground pins. The signal level is CMOS, and there is no ESD protection at all. Be careful! The SDPs can be programmed as inputs (time stamps on signal edges) or as outputs (periodic signals). You can do some interesting things with them. I once made a BC with 3 cards on one mother board, letting the "lead" card send a 1 PPS to the other two, using the external time stamps to lock to the lead card.
