May 2026 (Zephyr4Microchip/zephyr): PTP reliability and tooling enhancements across ENET QoS. Implemented external oscillator-based PLL0 sourcing for stabilized PTP references, fixed ENET QoS PTP transport, expanded device support to frdm_mcxn947 in stack and samples, enhanced PTP CLI/UI for protocol visibility, broadened test coverage with a new PTP port-event test suite, and completed Kconfig symbol renaming with migration docs. These efforts improve clock stability, transport robustness, device coverage, observability, and testing rigor, delivering measurable business value through more reliable timing, easier hardware support, and faster development cycles.
