Hello list, I read that 82599ES family does support hardware timestamping, but when I tried to read from it, it returned -EINVAL. Below is my code: ``` // port initialization excised struct timespec tmp; ret = rte_eth_timesync_enable(0); printf("Enable tx timestamp: status %d\n", ret); ret = rte_eth_timesync_read_tx_timestamp(0, &tmp); printf("Get tx timestamp: status %d\n", ret); ``` And the output is: ``` Enable tx timestamp: status 0 Get tx timestamp: status -22 ``` Why does it happen? I looked into `examples/ptpclient/ptpclient.c` and found that no other requirement is needed to read the hardware timestamp. FYI, I'm using Ubuntu 20.04, DPDK 21.05, and below is what devbind returns: ``` Network devices using DPDK-compatible driver ============================================ 0000:04:00.0 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection 10fb' drv=uio_pci_generic unused=ixgbe,vfio-pci 0000:04:00.1 '82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection 10fb' drv=uio_pci_generic unused=ixgbe,vfio-pci ``` Thank you in advance! -- Best Regards, Fengkai
