As I understand it, it is free to download. It doesn't include the source to the driver or library because they are built on a licensed tool but the example program code should be there and there is a whole library available for you to code your application against. ...Greg -Original

Wow, that is an old piece of equipment. I may be able to find something. One of my first jobs at Datum was to add the SNMP and NTP HMAC options to the TS2000. It is an old PC based design using Ampro modules. If I can't find the manual, do you have a specific ??. -Original Message-

No, this was the replacement to the TS2000. Completely different cpu/os/codebase. And it came out in 1996 which just goes to show how old that TS2000 is. -Original Message- From: questions-bounces+gdowd=symmetricom@lists.ntp.org

Re: [ntp:questions] Using different timebase for ntpd

2009-03-23 Thread Greg Dowd
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

Re: [ntp:questions] how to write a reference clock driver

I'm not quite sure what you mean. A reference clock doesn't compute an offset, it acquires, formats and returns a time value from an external source. NTP takes care of the rest. -Original Message- From: questions-bounces+gdowd=symmetricom@lists.ntp.org
