Modifying the kernel may not be enough if the timing parameters are in the microcode for the USB device. Whether any improvement is significant probably depends upon your goals. It's unlikely to become a great NTP server. If I wanted a good low power NTP server, I'd probably start with a BeagleBone Black. I haven't seen a low cost no-assembly-required GPS board for the BBB (There is at least one GPS board for the BBB, but it includes a cell phone modem which doubles the cost.) I'd probably try the GPS breakout board from SparkFun. It should take 5 wires: power, ground, trans, recv, and PPS. (and then the appropriate software hacking) -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
