support master-only interface to send ESMC with a QL#DNU

[dungxpt96]

Hi,
Currently, synce4l just receives a valid QL (for example PRC, EEC, SSU-A, etc.) from another device and broadcast this QL to other running ports.
But, in order to integrate synce4l on a reliable frequency source , synce4l should support master-only role, it means synce4l can generate and send ESMC with a valid QL by itself first.

How about your idea?

Hi,

If I understand you correctly, we actually have this feature at the moment, it's called "external input mode" and it's configured in config file. Please see the https://github.com/intel/synce4l/blob/0.9.1/README.md
This way you configure the static QL. After synce4l notice that the DPLL has been locked to this reliable (e.g. attached to GPS) source it starts to broadcast this QL. Is it something you are looking for? Can we close this issue?

In the close future we will are planning to remove those modes at all, so you could use both local and incoming clocks at the same time. Please stay tuned!

Hi @mmichaliINTC

Thank you so much for explaining this feature.
You are right, this feature is already provided by "external input mode".

Let's close this issue!

BR.
