Using GPS-RTK-SMA Breakout - ZED-F9P as master clock on PTP

I have a network of 7 machine vision cameras and 2 switches all with PTP capabilities, Im wondering if there is a way to connect the GPS-RTK-SMA Breakout - ZED-F9P board to the network such that it can be used as the master clock to timestamp the photos? What hardware would be needed to enable this?

The switch uses the KSZ9477S https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/ … 02392C.pdf.

My SBC is a Connectech Boson with the Nvidia Jetson Tx2 NX. I2C port is available. https://connecttech.com/product/boson-f … xavier-nx/

Thanks for your help!

Connect the GPS to a Pi, connect the Pi to your network then write some code to do the time stamping.
