+Intel Timed I/O PPS signal generator
+------------------------------------
+
+Intel Timed I/O is a high precision device, present on 2019 and newer Intel
+CPUs, that can generate PPS signals.
+
+Timed I/O and system time are both driven by same hardware clock. The signal
+is generated with a precision of ~20 nanoseconds. The generated PPS signal
+is used to synchronize an external device with system clock. For example,
+share your clock with a device that receives PPS signal, generated by
+Timed I/O device. There are dedicated Timed I/O pins to deliver the PPS signal
+to an external device.
+
+Usage of Intel Timed I/O as PPS generator:
+
+Start generating PPS signal::
+        $echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/INTCxxxx\:00/enable
+
+Stop generating PPS signal::
+        $echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/INTCxxxx\:00/enable
