Description

There is a reason why is this a hard limit or is it that lower has not been tried. If this card can work with generation 2.0/2.1 this opens a few other hardware options.

Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module supporting boards can provide PCI 2.0 and RK3399 based boards can provide PCI 2.1.

Basically a 1U rack being able to hold primary secondary clock sync sources and few other extras.

For the Raspberry PI 4 Compute Module I am sure that "Jeff Geerling"

would try the card.

Smaller setups its possible that something like a Raspberry PI 4 compute module would have enough processing power for like 50 machines worth of clock sync. Think shop point of sales system.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by determining whether the card's PCIe interface supports generation 2.0 or 2.1 on Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module and RK3399 boards, then define the compatibility requirements and document the supported hardware options.
