I think I might have found the problem, but unsure on how to fix that.
In the room there is a fluorescent lamp, whenever someone switches on the
light, there is a chance the PPS input on the card will stop.
How long is the cable and is it electrically terminated?
I have seen the PPS timestamping on I210 to randomly stop working when
reconnecting between different GPS units. I suspect it happens when
the hardware gets multiple pulses too close to each other. I can
reproduce it by configuring the GPS with the CFG-TP5 command to
generate pulses at a very high rate.
There seem to be two different failure modes. With one it is sufficient
to restart chronyd, but the other one requires reloading of the driver.
I looked at the driver source code for any clues, but didn't see
anything.
