Hello and Greetings (waves)
I've installed the 2.6.19p4-g5f1bb8aa linuxpps kernel here, and
patched ntp-4.2.2 with linuxpps support for nmea/atom with the
following results:
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
+GPS_NMEA(0) .GPS. 0 l 18 64 377 0.000 -0.007 0.002
oPPS(2) .PPS. 0 l 11 16 377 0.000 -0.002 0.002
The PPS signal is derived from the GPS unit and fed into the
parallel port. My particular installation has inverted the
parallel PPS signal, so there was a 100 millisecond offset
(the pulse width of the GPS I have), so I used "fudge time1 0.1"
and end up with the billboard as shown above.
I will next deliberately court "interrupt collision" by inverting
the TTL PPS signal, so that I can see what the linux kernel
will do when delivering the internal signals (by request).
So far the only problem is that I tried the atom "fudge flag2 1"
(to use the opposite edge of the TTL signal)
and got a kernel error logged (line split for clarity):
Jan 11 22:27:28 wraith ntpd[2289]:
refclock_atom: time_pps_setparams failed: Invalid argument
So far (8 hours operation) it looks very nice!
