IEEE 1588 for Stellaris EKS LM3S8962: how can i reduce the offset from master

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM3S8962

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

we are working now on Evalution board LM3s8962 using enet_ptpd. our experimental PTP-BASED System is, two Evalution boards LM3s896 with enet_ptpd, the two boards communicating each other with a normal Switch.

we want to test the Offset from Master after Sychronization. We chose the PPS(puls per second) signal as the test Point (Pin on board is PWM2). using oscilloscope, the Offset between two pps is 100 microseconds, this is too big!

Sir Sergio Ortega from TI has wrote us a Email, he wrote "1. On Fury-class MCUs (current 6000 and 8000 series), the best clock tick we can get is 50MHz/20ns. With hardware assist, there can still be a cycle or two of jitter (40ns) on the timestamp. So, with those two factors, there is a +/- 60ns absolute best case timestamp."

could you help me, how can i reduce the offset.

thank you very much.
