Hi all,

I'm working with an N320 and UHD 4.1, and I plan to use an external reference 
clock (a 10MHz OCXO for reasons of RF phase stability) and the radio's internal 
GPSDO for timing (to synchronize capture start times across radios). I found 
that "clock_source=external,time_source=gpsdo" is not a supported sync_source 
combination. Taking a quick glance at the N320 schematics, I'm speculating that 
GPS-synced timing is also dependent on FPGA-REFCLK being slaved to the GPSDO, 
and not just the PPS, is that right? Is there any viable way to accomplish the 
setup I described?

It's also not ideal how the set_clock_source/set_time_source API calls behave 
in the case. I had originally been calling set_clock_source("external") 
followed by set_time_source("gpsdo"), which both succeed. It took a lot of 
digging to figure out that the second call is silently coercing the ref clock 
to be gpsdo, without any indication even a debug print statement (in the MPM 
periph_manager code).

Thanks & Cheers,
