LR, I did a quick g-search. Found: http://www.iebmedia.com/index.php?id=5543=63=255=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

LR, I don't believe that the Phy is what determines the 1588 compliance. My understanding is that it is the MAC. On the BBB the MAC is what is 1588 compliant. The 8710 phy says nothing about this. As a matter of fact, none of the datasheets I have on phys say anything about 1588. The phy is

Hello, The specs for the new X15 are quite impressive. However I think it is missing one thing: PHY chips that support IEEE 1588, i.e. Precision Time Protocol (PTP). For example: http://www.ti.com/product/DP83640 which is TIs DP83640 chip. I think this would open up the board to even more

We have no plans to do so at this time. The space on the board is very tight and this device is larger that what is there now. It would take a lot of work and the changing of the board dimensions to get it in. Gerald On Thu, Jul 28, 2016 at 1:25 AM, wrote: > Hello, > >

The BeagleBoard-X15 has quite an impressive set of features. However I think that it is missing one thing: IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) PHY chips. For example, http://www.ti.com/product/DP83640 which is TI's DP83640 PHY chip. I believe the board as is will be great for doing
