+PTP pin interface
+-----------------
+All adapters support standard PTP pin interface. SDPs (Software Definable Pin)
+are single ended pins with both periodic output and external timestamp
+supported. There are also specific differential input/output pins (TIME_SYNC,
+1PPS) with only one of the functions supported.
+
+There are adapters with DPLL, where pins are connected to the DPLL instead of
+being exposed on the board. You have to be aware that in those configurations,
+only SDP pins are exposed and each pin has its own fixed direction.
+To see input signal on those PTP pins, you need to configure DPLL properly.
+Output signal is only visible on DPLL and to send it to the board SMA/U.FL pins,
+DPLL output pins have to be manually configured.
