Hello,

I have a system with hardware support for PTP (IEEE 1588 time
synchronisation) [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol ].
So the system can read from two 32 bit registers seconds and nanoseconds
since 1.1.1970. It appears like the system time, but is n't the system time.
To synchronize the system time to the PTP synchronized time and to
provide it to other systems, I want to write a reference clock driver.

I have already read http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/howto.html
and started with a copy of refclock_local.c.
But from the documentation it is not clear, in what way the offset
should be calculated and used. E.g.:
offset = ref_clock_time - system_time;
or
offset = system_time - ref_clock_time;


Greetings
        Juergen
