[ntp:questions] Problem building ntp in an rev. controlled environment

2010-12-28 Thread bombjack
hi all, I have tried real hard to get ntp to build in a clearcase version controlled environment. If I try to build "vanilla", everything works and builds. But as soon as I check everything in and tries to build I get into problems. It seems that as part of configuring alot of "touch" is done to e.

ntpd timestamps the CR/LF at the end of each NMEA sentence. According to this thread: http://www.febo.com/pipermail/time-nuts/2010-December/052859.html the latest (3.50) firmware for the Garmin GPS 18x LVC shifts the NMEA generation even later in the second. You might want to try reverting to

[ntp:questions] Garmin GPS18x LVC problem since firmware 3.50

2010-12-28 Thread David J Taylor
Folks, Following my previous message, I can confirm that the NMEA output from the GPS18x LVC with the firmware 3.50 upgrade is coming out something like a second after the PPS signal, and worse, it's very variable so sometimes just before the PPS leading edge, and sometimes after. No wonder N
