Hi,
I have been trying to run ptp4l in transparent clock(TC) mode with the setup as 
follows - I have connected 'eth1' of zcu102(let's call this board-1) to intel 
card PC and 'eth2' of it to 'eth1' of another zcu102(let's call it board-2).
I have run ptp4l in TC mode on board-1 with the command "ptp4l -P -2 -H -i eth1 
-i eth2 -p /dev/ptp0 -m -f /usr/sbin/ptp4l_slave.conf". 
/usr/sbin/ptp4l_slave.conf has the following configuration:

[global]
transportSpecific       1
priority1 250
priority2 251
ptp_dst_mac             01:80:C2:00:00:0E
p2p_dst_mac             01:80:C2:00:00:0E
logAnnounceInterval     1
logSyncInterval         -3
follow_up_info          1
announceReceiptTimeout  3
syncReceiptTimeout      3
neighborPropDelayThresh 800
min_neighbor_prop_delay -20000000
tc_spanning_tree        1
free_running            1
freq_est_interval       3
summary_interval        1
clock_type              P2P_TC
network_transport       L2
delay_mechanism         P2P

I have also tried to give '-t' option but it says "ptp4l: invalid option -- 
't'".

ptp4l is run in ordinary clock(OC) mode on board-2 with the command - "ptp4l -P 
-2 -H -i eth1 -p /dev/ptp0 -m -f /usr/sbin/ptp4l_slave.conf". 
/usr/sbin/ptp4l_slave.conf has the following configuration:
[global]
transportSpecific       1
priority1 252
priority2 253
ptp_dst_mac             01:80:C2:00:00:0E
p2p_dst_mac             01:80:C2:00:00:0E
logAnnounceInterval     1
logSyncInterval         -3
follow_up_info          1
announceReceiptTimeout  3
syncReceiptTimeout      3
neighborPropDelayThresh 800
min_neighbor_prop_delay -20000000
network_transport       L2
delay_mechanism         P2P

ptp4l is run in ordinary clock(OC) mode on intel card PC with the command - 
"sudo ./ptp4l -P -2 -H -i eth1 -p /dev/ptp0 -m -f /tftpboot/ptp4l_master.conf". 
/tftpboot/ptp4l_master.conf has the following configuration:
transportSpecific       1
priority1 248
priority2 249
ptp_dst_mac             01:80:C2:00:00:0E
p2p_dst_mac             01:80:C2:00:00:0E
logAnnounceInterval     1
logSyncInterval         -3
follow_up_info          1
announceReceiptTimeout  3
syncReceiptTimeout      3
neighborPropDelayThresh 800
min_neighbor_prop_delay -20000000
network_transport       L2
delay_mechanism         P2P

I have made the following observations:
On board-2, ptp4l doesn't synchronize with PC. Nor it recognizes PC as grand 
master. It prints the following messages:
ptp4l[1296.475]: selected /dev/ptp0 as PTP clock
ptp4l[1296.504]: driver rejected most general HWTSTAMP filter
ptp4l[1296.504]: port 1: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INIT_COMPLETE
ptp4l[1296.504]: port 0: INITIALIZING to LISTENING on INIT_COMPLETE
ptp4l[1303.331]: port 1: LISTENING to MASTER on ANNOUNCE_RECEIPT_TIMEOUT_EXPIRES
ptp4l[1303.332]: selected local clock 000a35.fffe.00012e as best master
ptp4l[1303.332]: assuming the grand master role

I have also observed that when 'free_running' field is removed from 
configuration of board-1 and let the synchronization with PC start on board-1, 
board-2 starts synchronizing with PC. Within 1-2 seconds, if free_running is 
added back to the configuration, board-1 stops synchronization, but board-2 
keeps synchronizing.

In either case, announce messages are being received on board-2 which have 
grandmasterClockIdentity as the MAC address of PC.

I believe in the ideal case, board-2 should start synchronization and board-1 
shouldn't even when free_running is present in configuration. Please let me 
know what is it that I'm doing wrong.

Thanks,
Ravali.
