Ethernet API
Overview
Comcores Ethernet Application Programming Interface (API) is a software library that provides a streamlined and user-friendly access to selected Comcores’ Ethernet IP products. The library is written in standard C and is designed to be OS-agnostic through an OS wrapper interface and can be used as a component in custom software stacks and networking applications.
The library is provided together with a Linux demonstration application, providing an easy way to get acquainted with the features of the API and the underlying Ethernet IP, but also acting as a foundation towards more advanced networking application.

PTP profiles for 5G networks
Niklas Meyer Mortensen Jan 04 2022 The IEEE 1588 PTP standards provide a wealth of options and the basis for highly reliable and accurate time synchronization solutions. However, the time synchronization needs of specific applications in different industries can vary quite significantly. These specific needs are defined in separate PTP profile standards, often in collaboration with other industry standards organizations. For 5G, both IEEE and ITU-T provide relevant profiles that can be used to...
