Set the `tuned` profile to `realtime`. If the `tuned-adm` command is not installed then you have to install it. When choosing this profile you have to mention the isolated cpus in `/etc/tuned/realtime-variables.conf`. By default this profile adds `skew_tick=1 isolcpus=managed_irq,domain,<cpu-you-choose> intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup tsc=nowatchdog` in the boot command. **Make sure you don't add them while changing `/etc/default/grub`**.

1. Make sure that you have `skew_tick=1` in `/proc/cmdline`
2. For Intel E-810 cards set `tx_timestamp_timeout` to 50 or 100 if there are errors in ptp4l logs
3. Other time sources than PTP, such as NTP or chrony timesources, should be disabled. Make sure they are enabled as further below.
4. If PTP is running in kernel space, make sure you isolated cores for kernel with `kthread_cpus=<cpu_list>` in `/proc/cmdline`.
5. If `rms` or `delay` remain high, you can try pinning the PTP process to an isolated CPU.
