We want to implement IEEE1588 driver for Intel EG20T PCH (Topcliff) using PTP core
according to you saying.
However, it seems PTP core module is not accepted by upstream.
How about your PTP status ?

Thanks,

But what is the "Intel Tolapai 1588 device driver?"

Is that a Linux driver?

If so, where can I find it?

I found it under
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17182

That driver was never submitted for inclusion anywhere, so it is not
really relevant here. The APIs are similar, but not identical, most
importantly they use a different ioctl command base number, but also
some of the structures are laid out slightly differently.

Ohtake-san, Richard's code already contains an abstraction for multiple
ieee1588 sources, which looks like it should perfectly fit your purposes.
I don't see room for another user interface, so please try to integrate
into version 5 of his ptp code.
