LR, I did a quick g-search. Found: http://www.iebmedia.com/index.php?id=5543&parentid=63&themeid=255&showdetail=true There are apparently several ways to implement the 1588 protocol. From all software to a combo of hardware and software. Most however don't seem to need a specific phy solution. So, it looks like you should be in luck. Unless code development is not in your wheelhouse.
