STM
The STM32F207xx chips from ST have PTP. See Reference manual RM0033
file CD00225773.pdf, chapter 28.5.9

Luminary Micro / TI
The EKC-LM3S8962 may be a good starting point for development (Farnell €94)
3ph-PWM, 2x quadrature decoder with velocity, A/D(10bit), IEEE 1588 PTP, lwIP and uIP

My Setup

Ubuntu 10.10 64bit
Hardware http://www.luminarymicro.com/products/lm3s8962_can_ethernet_evaluation_kit.html
Software http://www.luminarymicro.com/products/software_updates.html download SW-EK-LM3S8962-6852.exe

Compiler

I installed with Synaptic:
upload:arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc.png

JTAG

sudo apt-get install openocd
sudo rmmod ftdi_sio

Compile StellarisWare

assume pwd=<???>
extract SW-EK-LM3S8962-6852.exe (nautilus:open context menue, extract here)
cd SW-EK-LM3S8962-6852
gedit makedefs and change the PREFIX to:
#PREFIX=${shell type arm-stellaris-eabi-gcc > /dev/null 2>&1 &&
# echo arm-stellaris-eabi || echo arm-none-eabi}
PREFIX= arm-linux-gnueabi
check that /???/StellarisWare/Lib/SW-EK-LM3S8962-6852/boards/ek-lm3s8962/hello/gcc exists
make clean
check that /???/StellarisWare/Lib/SW-EK-LM3S8962-6852/boards/ek-lm3s8962/hello/gcc not exists
make
check that /???/StellarisWare/Lib/SW-EK-LM3S8962-6852/boards/ek-lm3s8962/hello/gcc exists
and hello.bin is there

Download with openocd

unfortunately enet_io example do not work with this compiler version!

download http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/package7813/public/arm-none-eabi/arm-2010.09-51-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2
works on 64bit compiling enet_io
extract to <path>
export PATH=<path>/arm-2010.09/bin:$PATH
change in makedefs PREFIX=arm-none-eabi
