SEGGER introduces its new PTP software module as an add-on to its embOS/IP offering. The PTP module implements the globally recognized Precision Time Protocol (PTP) standard IEEE 1588v2 (also called IEEE 1588-2008) to synchronize an ordinary clock (a slave clock on the target) with an external reference clock via Ethernet. Synchronization of this kind is required in all applications where data sources or sensors relate to each other via time information. Examples can be found in the imaging or i
