queue Tony Nguyen says: ==================== 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2021-12-29 Ruud Bos says: The igb driver provides support for PEROUT and EXTTS pin functions that allow adapter external use of timing signals. At Hottinger Bruel & Kjaer we are using the PEROUT function to feed a PTP corrected 1pps signal into an FPGA as cross system synchronized time source. Support for the PEROUT and EXTTS SDP functions is currently limited to i210/i211 based adapters. This patch series enables these functions also for 82580/i354/i350 based ones. Because the time registers of these adapters do not have the nice split in second rollovers as the i210 has, the implementation is slightly more complex compared to the i210 implementation. The PEROUT function has been successfully tested on an i350 based ethernet adapter. Using the following user space code excerpt, the driver outputs a PTP corrected 1pps signal on the SDP0 pin of an i350: struct ptp_pin_desc desc; memset(&desc, 0, sizeof(desc)); desc.index = 0; desc.func = PTP_PF_PEROUT; desc.chan = 0; if (ioctl(fd, PTP_PIN_SETFUNC, &desc) == 0) { struct timespec ts; if (clock_gettime(clkid, &ts) == 0) { struct ptp_perout_request rq; memset(&rq, 0, sizeof(rq)); rq.index = 0; rq.start.sec = ts.tv_sec + 1; rq.start.nsec = 500000000; rq.period.sec = 1; rq.period.nsec = 0; if (ioctl(fd, PTP_PEROUT_REQUEST, &rq) == 0) { /* 1pps signal is now available on SDP0 */ } } } The added EXTTS function has not been tested. However, looking at the data sheets, the layout of the registers involved match the i210 exactly except for the time registers mentioned before. Hence the almost identical implementation. --- Note: I made changes to fix RCT and checkpatch messages regarding unnecessary parenthesis. ==================== Acked-by: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
