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.
