| 20 | Description: |
| 21 | This file contains the name of the PTP hardware clock |
| Richard Cochran | de46584 | 2012-09-22 07:02:04 +0000 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | as a human readable string. The purpose of this |
| 23 | attribute is to provide the user with a "friendly |
| 24 | name" and to help distinguish PHY based devices from |
| 25 | MAC based ones. The string does not necessarily have |
| 26 | to be any kind of unique id. |

| 69 | Description: |
| 70 | This write-only file enables or disables external |
| 71 | timestamps. To enable external timestamps, write the |
| 72 | channel index followed by a "1" into the file. |
| 73 | To disable external timestamps, write the channel |
| 74 | index followed by a "0" into the file. |

| 87 | Description: |
| 88 | This write-only file enables or disables periodic |
| 89 | outputs. To enable a periodic output, write five |
| 90 | integers into the file: channel index, start time |
| 91 | seconds, start time nanoseconds, period seconds, and |
| 92 | period nanoseconds. To disable a periodic output, set |
| 93 | all the seconds and nanoseconds values to zero. |
