Frequently Asked Questions about PPSi
General
Q: Why didn't you somehow align PPSi with Linux PTP (e.g. by branching from it)?
A: Linux PTP aims at being the best Linux implementation, and for this relies on Linux-specific features. PPSi on the other hand aims at being as portable as possible to free-standing environments.
The PPSi authors have been in touch with the ptp4linux authors. They agreed to not try early merges, to avoid unexpected problems, and will reconsider the situation later when both projects are done with addressing their specific issues and hardware requirements.
