[ntp:questions] NTP and Google's Summer of Code, 2009

2009-03-23 Thread Harlan Stenn
I'm pleased to announce that the NTP Forum has been selected to participate in the 2009 Google Summer of Code, on behalf of the NTP Project. If you know any students who would like to work on a Google Summer of Code project (hopefully on an NTP-related idea) please have them visit:

The main reason for my suspicion is a case of old faulty GPS hardware which reported last years leap second twice. This led to the question how to detect such errors. But also in general it would be interesting to see how the hosts controlled by ntp behave with respect to an independent clock. If

Dave, Somehow using an HP 5071 to discipline the time without kernel support seems bizarre, but it could be done in a spacecraft with only intermittent contact with Earth. At the default rate of dispersion increase of 15 us/s and distance threshold at the default 1.5 s, the client will coast

2009-03-23 Thread Patrick Loschmidt
Hi, I'm trying to replace the linux/unix system clock by a special clock maintained on a PCI card. The clock can be set, rate adjusted, etc., so I have the equivalent for gettimeofday(), settimeofday(), adjtime(), etc. Unfortunately, I'm confused by the number of different abstraction levels

The normal method, and the cleanest, is to provide a reference clock driver and let ntp keep the kernel clock synchronized to the card timebase. If you are bound and determined to make your own code, the place to start is in configure to specify your clock model and then systime.c in libntp. Be

Hi We purchased an EMC professional net as seen on www.gude.info last week, and set it to test. During the weekend - saturday evening 18.27 according to the syslog - it synchronized with the (poorly recieved) Dcf77 signal and claimed the date to be 27/3 2013... I sendt it back to the seller

Patrick, An external timebase has been implemented in two ways. The most desireable is via the kernel and an appropriate shared memory device driver. An alternative way is to used a driver such as the KSI/Odetics TPRO refclock driver. There might even be a refclock driver for the old TrueTime
