LS1028ARDB time synchronization problem

[baiyu]

Hi, Expert

One question from my side about two LS1028ARDB doing time synchronization, it seems the synchronization process failed. Details as below:

1. run "enetc_switch_cpu_port_with_bridge_without_ns.sh" on two LS1028ARDB separately, that means configure the boards to bridge mode. the system time and hardware time difference is 7days.

2. the swp2 port is connected directly between the two boards, run"ptp4l -i swp2 -f /etc/ptp4l_cfg/gPTP.cfg -m" separately on the two boards, the result shows they are not synchronized. detail configurations for time synchronization as below:

2.1 Slave gptp.cfg:

2.2 Master gptp.cfg

2.3 run"PTP4L" on master and slave:

2.3.1 master feedback:

2.3.2 slave feedback:

2.3.3 master swp2 capability:

2.3.4 slave swp2 capability:
