That shows that your PPS support is working fine on kernel level. > I compiled ntpd with --enable-atom option, but when I start ntpd it shows > following error in the log: > > 16 Aug 10:36:00 ntpd[17210]: refclock_newpeer: clock type 22 invalid This clearly shows that you have no ATOM_PPS refclock support. > 16 Aug 10:36:00 ntpd[17210]: 127.127.22.0 interface 127.0.0.1 -> (null) > > But i think the problem has maybe nothing to do with ntpd directly so far, > because ntptime shows only PLL, NANO and not PPSXXXX in the status field: > > ntp_gettime() returns code 0 (OK) > time d01ce7a9.c30c885c Mon, Aug 23 2010 14:27:21.761, (.761910415), > maximum error 257004 us, estimated error 458 us > ntp_adjtime() returns code 0 (OK) > modes 0x0 (), > offset -42.572 us, frequency 17.326 ppm, interval 1 s, > maximum error 257004 us, estimated error 458 us, > status 0x2001 (PLL,NANO), > time constant 6, precision 0.001 us, tolerance 500 ppm I do not see this in the output of ntptime on my (PPS-enabled) system, I guess ntptime does not know about the newer PPS implementation. > So is the kernel not detecting the PPS, even though ppstest shows the signal > etc.? > > I don´t know how I can proceed, miss I something else, do someone have any > hints for me? > > Many thanks in advance and kind regards from Berlin, > Frank > You definitely have no ATOM_PPS refclock support in your ntpd but it looks like your kernel supports PPS and it works fine. Please re-run configure and check its output. I would suspect that the configure script looks for certain include files in your kernel header dir(s) and does not find them. That results in disabling ATOM at configuration time (can be verified by looking into the generated config.h file of NTP).
