How many Intel x86 CISC instructions needed to decode NTP time field
(ignoring complexities of decoding full packet, re: NTP broadcasting)?
Write the code and count! IIRC, it's 32 bits of seconds since 1 January
1970, and 32 bits of fractional seconds.
From my understanding most NTP code is nearly exclusively compiled C++,
efficient -- but not quite assembler.
C not C++
For RISC microcontroller applications and other CPU designs (like DSPs) --
NTP decoding may have to be done via assembler.
I believe that cross-compilers are available for many microcontrollers.
