What: /sys/class/ptp/ptpN/clock_name
Date: September 2010
Contact: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
Description:
This file contains the name of the PTP hardware clock
as a human readable string. The purpose of this
attribute is to provide the user with a "friendly
name" and to help distinguish PHY based devices from
MAC based ones. The string does not necessarily have
to be any kind of unique id.
What: /sys/class/ptp/ptpN/max_adjustment
Date: September 2010
Contact: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
Description:
This file contains the PTP hardware clock's maximum
frequency adjustment value (a positive integer) in
parts per billion.

Date: September 2010
Contact: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
Description:
This file contains the number of periodic or one shot
alarms offer by the PTP hardware clock.
What: /sys/class/ptp/ptpN/n_external_timestamps
Date: September 2010
Contact: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
Description:
This file contains the number of external timestamp
channels offered by the PTP hardware clock.
What: /sys/class/ptp/ptpN/n_periodic_outputs
Date: September 2010

Description:
This file contains the number of programmable periodic
output channels offered by the PTP hardware clock.
What: /sys/class/ptp/ptpN/pps_avaiable
Date: September 2010
Contact: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
Description:
This file indicates whether the PTP hardware clock
supports a Pulse Per Second to the host CPU. Reading
"1" means that the PPS is supported, while "0" means
not supported.
What: /sys/class/ptp/ptpN/extts_enable
Date: September 2010
Contact: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
Description:
This write-only file enables or disables external
timestamps. To enable external timestamps, write the
channel index followed by a "1" into the file.
To disable external timestamps, write the channel
index followed by a "0" into the file.
What: /sys/class/ptp/ptpN/fifo
Date: September 2010
Contact: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
Description:
This file provides timestamps on external events, in
the form of three integers: channel index, seconds,
and nanoseconds.
What: /sys/class/ptp/ptpN/period
Date: September 2010
Contact: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
Description:
This write-only file enables or disables periodic
outputs. To enable a periodic output, write five
integers into the file: channel index, start time
seconds, start time nanoseconds, period seconds, and
period nanoseconds. To disable a periodic output, set
all the seconds and nanoseconds values to zero.
What: /sys/class/ptp/ptpN/pps_enable
Date: September 2010
Contact: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>
Description:
This write-only file enables or disables delivery of
