This application note describes <strong>an</strong> <strong>IEEE</strong> <strong>1588</strong> Precision Time Protocol demo application that targets the
MCF5441x ColdFire processor <strong>an</strong>d the TWR-MCF54418-KIT. The application software runs under the
Freescale MQX RTOS <strong>an</strong>d uses the MQX RTCS TCP/IP stack <strong>an</strong>d the Freescale MQX<strong>1588</strong> Library for
quick <strong>IEEE</strong><strong>1588</strong> application development. This solution c<strong>an</strong> be easily ported to other processors from the
ColdFire family with the MQX <strong>an</strong>d RTCS support.
The demo system c<strong>an</strong> be targeted to applications that require precise clock synchronization between
devices with accuracy in the sub-microsecond r<strong>an</strong>ge. Typical applications include industrial network
switches, time-sensitive telecommunication services, powerline networks, <strong>an</strong>d test/measurement devices.
