Yes. The pin on Ocelot/Felix supports both PTP_PF_PEROUT and PTP_PF_EXTTS functions.
But the PTP_PF_EXTTS function should be implemented separately in Ocelot and Felix since hardware interrupt implementation is different on them.
I am responsible for Felix. However I am facing some issue on PTP_PF_EXTTS function on hardware. It may take a long time to discuss internally.

Thanks.

Did you mean the dead lock issue? Or you thought the pin supported only PTP_PF_PEROUT function in hardware?
