SDPs (Software Definable Pin) +are single ended pins with both periodic output and external timestamp +supported. There are also specific differential input/output pins (TIME_SYNC, +1PPS) with only one of the functions supported. + +There are adapters with DPLL, where pins are connected to the DPLL instead of +being exposed on the board. You have to be aware that in those configurations, +only SDP pins are exposed and each pin has its own fixed direction. +To see input signal on those PTP pins, you need to configure DPLL properly. +Output signal is only visible on DPLL and to send it to the board SMA/U.FL pins, +DPLL output pins have to be manually configured.
