Hello Dave, I never used the time1 and time2 flags in the older NMEA driver. And neither I did with the newer code. As per your suggestion I tried to use time1 and time2 in the newer code to see if it helps. But it didn't and instead it made it worse.
My point is simple. If it works with older NMEA driver then it should work with the newer one too (without the need of using time1 and time2 flags). I am literally tired of these experiments :-). And I hope to hear if someone is using the new driver successfully. This would be my last attempt of using time2 flag and see if it works. All wanted to check is the significant changes submitted by Juergen Perlinger for https://bugs.ntp.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1571. Thanks & kind regards, _Venu On Thu, Oct 7, 2010 at 5:19 AM, Dave Hart <[email protected]> wrote: > On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 09:42 AM, Venu Gopal <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello Folks, > > > > I tried using time1 and time2 flags but things became worse :-(. > > Everything works fine with NMEA driver when using local PPSAPI. > > And I don't need use time1 or time2 flags (set to 0 by default). > > I believe you are conflating two separate issues.
