Please excuse the language “invented”. We simply meant “came up with a form factor” of having the MAC+GNSS present via PCIe bus as a POSIX clock similar to a NIC with hardware timestamping. We are humble to all the awesome products that are out there and we just wanted to present an open source version of a simplified approach to allow others to build on it.

Isn't this a Symmetricom card? Being open source is the killer feature here. There are a number of companies that make PCIe timing cards, but they are all proprietary and go out of support way too quickly.

Yes, with the difference on how to present the time to the system, just a PHC
