I am a student trying to implement PTP using BBB. I have studied that there are BBB images that already have HW timestamps enabled.
Is there any easy way that I can follow to implement PTP without having to compile a Linux kernel by myself?
Any help in this regard is much appreciated.
Without knowing anything about PTP, Debian has a package ptpd - perhaps that is what you’re looking for.
