Hello AravindSubbiah,


Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities.


Before we proceed, let me check if you are building or designing a board/system with embedded i210 network card.


If you have questions, please let us know. In case we do not hear from you, we will make a follow up after 3 workings days. Thank you.


Best regards,

    We are using a Linux System with PTP time synchronisation to FPGA connected over a local network.

    Linux<----->Switch<----->FPGA

    Linux has the Intel I210 controller.
    We can get sync to happen fine but we require the HW timestamp to be availabe on host(Linux) for control.

    Is there any prebuilt tools or scripts available to get this done quicker?

    Thanks.
