No PPS output from PTP clock with i.MX7

I'm using a VAR-SOM-MX7 board (has i.MX7 on-board) from Variscite.

I wish ro run it as PTP slave (succeded) and output a PPS for external use (couldn't so far).

The pad for PPS out is LCD_DATA20 (ENET1_1588_EVENT2_OUT).

I have my custom device tree configured this way:

/dts-v1/;
#include <dt-bindings/input/input.h>
#include <dt-bindings/thermal/thermal.h>
#include "imx7d.dtsi"

[    1.103317] pps pps0: new PPS source ptp0


I can successfully run ptp4l from linuxptp to sync time from remote source, which means 1588 hardware timestamping is functional and I enable PPS this way:

$ echo 1 > /sys/class/ptp/ptp0/pps_enable

 

However, I don't register any output on EVENT2_OUT pin. I feel like I miss something fundamental. What could be wrong here?
