Re: [Linuxptp-users] Linuxptp for Masterclock simulation

[Kirchhoff, P. <phi...@si...>]

Ok, but do I need to configure anything explicitly for this? How does the Lib know that it should act as GM.

Yes, that works just fine.  At the end of the day, there is nothing
special about a GM.  It need not be hooked to GPS or DCF77 or anything
at all.
