Hi Jordi, That's a great help, thank you! I'll give that a go and see how I get on :-D
Your wFrog sounds like an interesting project, do you do much work with Thermometers and Hygrometer hardware? If so I've got a little pet project on the go which I'd be interested to talk with you about! :-D Rob From: Jordi Puigsegur [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 26 February 2010 10:26 To: Robert Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Voyage-linux] Clock Drift I run into the same problems a couple of weeks ago. First I tried disabling mfgpt and it solved the problem but left the watchdog driver not funcional. Later on I undid this change, activated again mfgpt and installed adjtimex and ntp. My system is now working in perfect sync. I've described this configuration in a wiki (http://code.google.com/p/wfrog/wiki/InstallOn_Alix3D2_voyageLinux0_6_2#Clock_sync). wfrog is the open source weather logger I'm running on the Alix 3D2. Hope it helps! Jordi. 2010/2/26 Robert <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Hey Punky, Thanks for getting back to me. So you're saying I have a choice between a working clock or a working watchdog, I can't have both?
