How to forward the Clock Signal / Clock Pins ?

Hello,

Using nrf9131-ek because the nrf9161 doesn't seems to have the capability of using an external RC oscillator.

Plans are there in the project with using some/many of the nrf9131 chips together with the same clock.

On a custom pcb, it might be wise in just routeing the external RC oscillator with the same length of routes to each of the pcb.

But I am on a prototype situation right now, before such things...

I have a noob question unfortunately.

I am not sure if it makes sense todo it at all, but actually, I want to forward the Clock Signal outside to one of the Standard Pins the GPIO for example.

For use with ossziloskop and logic analyzer etc. or just provide it as a Signal source to another board.

I checked many options send Clock Signal out via Software APIs, but it will definitly change the clock signal and add some drift/jitter/skew to it.

Is gpio-forwarder an option? never used it before, looks like it is mentioned to be used between nrf cpus.

Can I simply forward the XL1 Pin and XL2 Pin to a random GPIO Pin P0.17 for example. ?
But how ?

XC1 and XC2 is also there but it seems it can only forward this with the same GND forwarding (but if forwarding why not this also)


tl;dr:
Move Clock Signal from external RC oscillator out, how todo?

kind regards
