Hello,

I have been using Chrony with great success for a while now on a few different 
single board computers with a GPS+PPS setup. My working chrony.conf line for 
the PPS refclock is as follows:

refclock PPS /dev/pps0 refid PPS lock GPS precision 1e-9 poll 3 offset 0.0 
prefer

I changed the GPS setup to issue a 5Hz "PPS" signal still with 100msec ON time. 
I verified that with an oscilloscope and also by watching the interrupt trigger 
count on real time with:

watch cat /proc/interrupts

 confirming that the IRQ count grows by 10 every 2 secs. So all as expected, 
the /dev/pps0 is seeing the 5Hz 100msec ON square wave

I commented the working PPS definition in the chrony.conf file and instead 
added the one below:

refclock PPS /dev/pps0 refid PPS lock GPS precision 1e-9 poll 3 offset 0.0 rate 
5 dpoll -3 prefer

but monitoring with "watch chronyc sources -v" shows no readings from PPS

[cid:b2351bee-30ba-46ae-9766-a613515d8d0a]


Is my definition of the driver in chrony.conf wrong? Or maybe the PPS driver 
doesn't deal with higher frequency pulses? Or should I use a different driver 
altogether?

Thanks a million!!

Enzo
