Hello, Greg Dowd schrieb: 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. ntpd reads the time of a reference clock with a reference clock driver. My problem was,

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

Hello, I have a system with hardware support for PTP (IEEE 1588 time synchronisation) [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_Time_Protocol ]. So the system can read from two 32 bit registers seconds and nanoseconds since 1.1.1970. It appears like the system time, but is n't the system time. To
