Hi all,
We consider the use of IEEE1588 for time synchronization in the Ethernet function.
We know i.MX6Q datasheet(MAC) is written as supporting IEEE1588.
To use IEEE1588, should external PHY-IC support IEEE1588 function also not only i.MX6Q?
Also if PHY-IC should support IEEE1588, do you know recommended PHY-IC product other than "AR8031"?
Best Regards,

Hi Satoshi
yes, external PHY-IC should also support IEEE1588 function.
You can use any RGMII PHY-IC, since this is standard interface.
Freescale cannot recommend one supplier over another and does
not suggest that this is the only phy supplier.
Best regards
