Hi,
I have in my posession a Globalsat BU-353 GPS receiver that I would like to
use as a NMEA time reference with Freebsd ntpd. The device identifies with
freebsd as:
ugen0: Prolific Technology Inc. USB-Serial Controller, rev 1.10/3.00, addr 2
I'm running 6.2-RC1. I have tried to search with google for hints howto
configure this device with ntpd. I have the following /etc/ntp.conf:
------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<
enable stats monitor pps
server 127.127.20.1
driftfile /etc/ntp/ntp.drift
logconfig +clockall
------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<
As far as I understand this 127.127.20.1 uses nmea and tries to open
/dev/gps1 device for NMEA output. What device file should I link /dev/gps1
to, and if it doesn't exist, how do I create it?
Any hints will be greatly appreciated. I hope this is not simply a matter of
RTFM since I have searched the net quite extensively for any hints. :)
kind regards,
Bo Granlund
Try to load the uplcom(4) module. Probably this will get your USB GPS
receiver identified as USB Serial port /dev/cuaU[0-9]
