Hi David,
Thank you for this. I guess this leads me to the question of "how do I debug
this", since I seem to have neither of those features listed.
I do note that your example uses the ATOM driver 22, whereas several pages have referred
me to using the driver 20 as a "better" option - was this a bad move?
I did have to compile my own kernel as I added other modules not present in the
precompiled kernels featuring the PPS

(the somewhat large offset is due to the fact I only turned this on two seconds

I'm running dev version 4.2.7p334, I also tried stable 4.2.6p5 with no
difference.
Joshua,
The fact that you don't have the "o" as the tally code (ntpq -p) and the
lack of "kern" (ntpq -c rv) says that PPS isn't working. My
understanding (and I am open to correction) is this:
- the type 20 driver can detect PPS transitions on the DCD RS-232 line,
and can timestamp those.
- the type 22 driver relies on the OS detecting the PPS transition time,
via PPS built into the kernel of the OS.
- in the Raspberry Pi, there is no DCD line, and hence no DCD timestamp,
and hence the type 20 driver will not detect the PPS transitions.
- in the Raspberry Pi, there is direct I/O supported for some of the
GPIO pins, and one extension to the basic OS has been to use one of
those pins for PPS support. This requires both a different kernel, and
a "module" driver add-on.
That's why I used the type 22 driver rather then type 20.
