Description

Running latest mast4ers of all software components (osmocom, limesuite, soapy) and uhd 3.10.

I first start osmo-bts-trx, which enques ctrl cmd to "POWER OFF" the trx

(Then, several of this as osmo-trx is still stopped, so the timer to re-send the first command in the que retriggers:)

Currently, as a response to POWERON, osmo-trx is forced to send its first clock indication. On receiving this first clock indication, osmo-bts-trx calls trx_sched_clock() which sets transceiver_available=true and calls trx_setup_clock(), which sets up the timer to process FNs based on time elapsed, and also checks that the skew with clock from osmo-trx (CLOCK IND) is not too big (around 400 FN), otherwise it exits as we see in the above trace.

The skew happens because after sending its first CLOCK IND, osmo-trx is not sending more of them. The first one is forced in code at RSP POWERON time, but next ones are sent based on some internal clocks, and the conditions to send more CLOCK IND are not happening:

if (mForceClockInterface || mTransmitDeadlineClock > mLastClockUpdateTime + GSM::Time(216,0)) {
    LOG(INFO) << "ClockInterface: sending clock ind: force="<< mForceClockInterface << " " << mTransmitDeadlineClock << " > " << mLastClockUpdateTime + GSM::Time(216,0);
    mForceClockInterface = false;
    writeClockInterface();
  }

In osmo-trx logs, I see this all the time:

So it seems the clocks are not being updated, and as they are not updated, there's no new updated clock indications being sent to osmo-bts-trx, which then closes with the timeout.
