Mark Atwood, Project Manager <mark.atw...@ntpsec.org>: > Can OnCore be supported by gpsd?
The OnCore already is mostly supported. What's missing is that GPSD can't do site-survey mode for the M12 timing variant. These are long since EOL but still available on e-Bay for cheap, as boards with TTL-level outputs; you have to do systems integration yourself, including level shifters and 1PPS-to-DCD and a powered antenna. This page https://www.dellanave.com/projects/carpc/oncore_gps.php tells you what's required. (Personal growth-experience note: when I took on this project in 2015 that kind of hackery would have been outside my envelope. Now it's just inside, though I'd want a more-skilled friend looking over my shoulder as I did the build.) Also, all OnCores went EOL so long ago that they're going to have warapped around at least once. Maybe twice! The product-strategy question is whether we care about hardware that old and with that much integration friction. Which reduces to the question of who we think our customers are. I guarantee that nobody running a modern data center is goiing to countenance the kind of lashup you need to do to get an M12 board working; only the hobbyists care enough about hardware this old. > And while I also like removing code, we've removed a lot, and I'm not > instantly adverse to giving the hobbyests a command option to handle > wraparound on their old hardware. /me winces Time for another iteration of "Why I hate options". Maybe this time as a blog post. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S.
