Guys, In both the NTPv4 specification and reference implementation the destination address used by the client when mobilizeing the association and sending the request must match the source address when receiving the response. This is a property of all RPC protocols known to me that use address

Hi all, After going through the NMEA ref.clock driver, it seems that the original author has choosen values 0(GPXXX), 1(GPRMC), 2(GPGGA) and 4(GPGLL) for mode field so that multiple sentences can be selected. As posted earlier reg. using the mode byte/field to support Accord GPS Clock, fourth bit

Venu, It is easy to add more bits to the mode word. How about 32? You and other driver programmers should come to some loose agreement on how to exploit these bits. Dave venu gopal wrote: > Hi all, > > The 'mode' field a.k.a 'ttl' for NMEA reference driver is used > to select the
