Aftre this step i tried to run ./ts2phc -f configs/ts2phc-generic.cfg -s generic -m

I got stuck at this stage dont know what things are wrong here .

I am performing some time sync activity with ORAN-5g(OAI) software stack.
So the goal is to sync the internal clock of intelE810 with external GPS module . For that I am using GPS antenna to be connected with my network adapter card with GNSS port provided. My GPS antenna will act as master for the internal clock, clock will get sync according to external GPS signals .
I Have attached the image of my GPS antenna which i am using .

Further if my internal **bleep** got in sync with external GNSS module i want to provide the same clock to my RU which is connected with the same network adapter over 10G interface .
I have attached the image for the same how my RU is connected with my card.

overall , i want C1 configurtation based on point-to-point connection between O-DU and O-RU using network timing option. It is basically the simplest topology for network timing option, where O-DU directly synchronizes O-RU.(attaching image for the same )

I have followed the document https://www.intel.la/content/www/xl/es/content-details/646265/intel-ethernet-network-adapter-e810-xxvda4t-user-guide.html. for the same but things are not clear to me .

Hi ,
I have reattached the images for the network adapter . Hoping that this will work .
I have already shared my major objective for the GNSS module configuration . Please provide and guide me with adequate information.

Hi Munish,

Thank you for sharing the requested details.

Based on the picture you provided, we would like to inform you that the adapter you are using is not an Intel authorized adapter. Therefore, we kindly request you to reach out to the OEM from whom you purchased the ethernet card for further support.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

I would suggest:

1. local build and install the linuxptp 4.2 (normally you will find the ts2phc in /usr/local/sbin/ directory).

2. edit and save this ts2phc.conf file to your home directory

[global]
use_syslog 0
verbose 1
logging_level 7
ts2phc.pulsewidth 100000000
ts2phc.nmea_serialport /dev/gnss0
[enp2s0f0]
ts2phc.extts_polarity rising

3. CLI command

sudo /usr/local/sbin/ts2phc -f $HOME/ts2phc.conf -s nmea

And see how it goes.

This has been determined that it is an issue with the latest version of ptp4l.
