    Here is a nice pmc library licensed under LGPL:

I wrote the library for application integration, as I was working on TSN :-) I also add the wrapper languages, so developers can use scripting in addition to C++.

In terms of license, we see a mix of GPL and LPGL code in the library and that makes things difficult, as it is not completely clear what is what.

But more decisive, on the solution we are looking for low latency is needed and therefore the usage of threads is mandatory.

This way, unfortunately, this library might not be used.


I will be more verbose in what we are doing. In general, SoftPLC vendors need a way to control the quality of the running clocks from within their real-time stacks, while the application will be informed by the stack and will take the decision on how to proceed.

This way the library has to be performant and ready for real-time and still have a permissive license, LGPL would be fine.


From Intel side we would be adding some more code on top to allow for notifications methods. Considering also for the multidomain topic to join Chrony and Linuxptp world in a single library, leveraging the work done by Miroslav ( Libchrony - Thanks again for that) as well.

We would be happy to hear feedback from the community!


Best regards,
