This patch adds comprehensive documentation for the PTP (Precision Time
Protocol) clock driver framework in NuttX.
The documentation covers:
1. Overview and Architecture:
- IEEE 1588 PTP clock framework introduction
- Upper-half and lower-half driver architecture
- Integration with POSIX clock APIs
2. Configuration Options:
- CONFIG_PTP_CLOCK: Main framework configuration
- CONFIG_PTP_CLOCK_DUMMY: Dummy driver for testing
- CONFIG_CLOCK_ADJTIME: clock_adjtime() system call support
3. Device Interface:
- Character device interface (/dev/ptpN)
- IOCTL commands: PTP_CLOCK_GETTIME, PTP_CLOCK_SETTIME,
PTP_CLOCK_GETRES, PTP_CLOCK_ADJTIME, PTP_CLOCK_GETCAPS,
PTP_SYS_OFFSET, PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE
4. POSIX Clock API (CLOCKFD):
- Using CLOCKFD() macro to access PTP clocks
- clock_gettime(), clock_settime(), clock_getres() examples
- clock_adjtime() with various adjustment modes
- ADJ_OFFSET, ADJ_FREQUENCY, ADJ_SETOFFSET support
5. Dummy PTP Clock Driver:
- Software-based implementation for testing
- Features and initialization details
6. Example Usage:
- Basic time operations
- Frequency adjustment examples
- Time offset adjustment examples
7. Implementing Lower-Half Drivers:
- Step-by-step guide for hardware driver implementation
- Required operations and structures
- Registration process
8. Integration with PTP Daemons:
- ptp4l, timemaster, ptpd compatibility
- Standard POSIX clock API usage
9. Performance Considerations:
- Hardware timestamping requirements
- Cross-timestamping support
- Frequency adjustment resolution
10. Debugging:
- Debug configuration options
- Debug output examples
The documentation is added to:
- Documentation/components/drivers/special/ptp.rst (new file)
- Documentation/components/drivers/special/index.rst (updated)
This provides developers with complete reference material for using
and implementing PTP clock drivers in NuttX.
