Forum Post: How to select gstreamer clock as master clock in 1588-PTP.(PTPdv2 deamon running in backend)

Hi

We have the use case shown below :

We are communicating between two DM814x boards. And we are doing video streming using raw socket and 1722 packetization and depackatisation. Here one board is acting like master(server) and other board acting as slave(client).

Now here is the scenario:

I am new to PTP, Forgive me if I am wrong. For the above set up we are trying to use PTP-1588(precision time protocol) to capture the time stamping of the packets sent between server and client. The slave should sync into master so as to achieve synchronisation using PTP1588. Now here the master clock should gstreamer clock and not the default system clock. And I don't know what is the default clock used by gstreamer for streaming in a pipeline.

For concept of PTP I was referring to below links:

http://www.endruntechnologies.com/pdf/PTP-1588.pdf

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/junos/topics/concept/ptp-overview.html

Can any-body share me any-link or any suggestion which would help me in getting more Idea or clarity on this.

Best Regards,
