Folks,
I'm back... Now that ntp is running, I want to get it going with
my Garmin gps18lvc. I've got a 2.4.32 kernel with PPSKit running,
linked /dev/ttyS0 -> /dev/pps1, and added "server 127.127.22.1 prefer"
to the config file. ntpq -p -n reports the .GPS. line, but the data
isn't updating (all zero's except the last field is 4000.00). I connected
to /dev/ttyS0 with minicom, and I'm getting the NEMA sentences, so
I think the hardware is OK. I've tried looking through the online
docs, but among all the words are hardly any examples of what to
actually *do*. I've also looked through Terje's notes, but the
actual configs weren't mentioned. > ntpq -c rv -p ntp1
shows that refid=192.168.0.1 (other box, not GPS).
Please let me know what else I need to do.
Thx, Chris
Ooops!! I missed the fact that, while you have configured the PPS
driver, you have not yet configured the NMEA driver
The PPS signal should mark the top of the second with accuracy that
might approach +/- 50ns. That's ALL it does. It does NOT tell you
which second it is.
The GPS18LVC uses the NMEA protocol so you also need to configure the
NMEA driver (driver 20). Add a line:
server 127.127.20.1
to your ntp.conf
You will still need to create the link that I mentioned in my previous
message.
That may not be all of it; as I said, I've never configured the Garmin
GPS18LVC myself and I may have missed things.
Keep good notes of everything you do. There is no documentation for
configuring the GPS18LVC and you are being requested to write some to
help the next guy who needs it.
