+title: The Tic-Nic PTP Adapter with GPS and Hardware I/O

+The Tic-Nic is based on the DP83640 PHY with IEEE-1588 (PTP)
+support. The PHY has several hardware GPIOs which can be used to
+capture or generate PTP-synchronized events. These are routed
+to connectors and pins on the board.
+
+A USB CDC-NCM network adapter which connects to the PHY is
+implemented in a Trion-T20 FPGA.
+
+The FPGA has plenty of resources for added user functionality
+(but the device operates just fine as-is).
+
+The board also features an optional GPS receiver which lets you
+operate in PTP grand-master mode. The NMEA data are accessible
+via a USB CDC-ACM interface.
+
+The DP83640 is well-supported under linux; a kernel driver
+which extends the vanilla CDC-NCM driver to integrate PHY
+access via MDIO is part of this project (GPL).

+I got interested in FPGAs several years ago and thought that having
+an open-source USB-2.0 device implementation is very handy for building
+hobby projects.
