[time-nuts] IEEE1588

2012-02-01 Thread Daniel Mendes
All this talk about microcontrollers and IEEE1588 made me get out of the shadow to ask: 1) Are you talking about IEEE1588-2002 or IEEE1588-2008? The former has no use to me, but the later could replace some GPSs in a system i´m designing... 2) If you intend to play with IEEE1588-2008, do

Interesting: a sort of public grandmaster. I don't think there are any available. I have attended an Oscilloquartz's live meeting on IEEE1588 and, of course, they have shown their expensive production but, in general, it should be useful to find public grandmasters to test with. On Wed, Feb 1,

There's no requirement for a grandmaster to be hooked up to GPS. It may just as well work off its own oscillator. A grandmaster is the ultimate source of time in a PTP network. It is not relevant what its time source is. That is correct. It can use any kind of reference clock. GPS is the
