Hello, As the subject line suggests, I would like to set up FreeBSD 6.2 to use my Garmin GPS 18 LVC as a refclock.
I've been following advice from David Taylor's web page on this subject http://www.david-taylor.myby.co.uk/ntp/FreeBSD-GPS-PPS.htm , although he used FreeBSD 5.4. I have a few questions regarding the configuration. I understand that 'options PPS_SYNC' needs to be added to the kernel config file, and that the kernel then needs to be recompiled. However, he includes a comment from Harlan Stenn stating that 'include GENERIC', 'ident PPS-GENERIC', and 'options PPS_SYNC' need to be added to the file /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/PPS . This file doesn't exist on my system. Do I need to create the file from scratch with those items in it, or is it something that is created after the kernel recompile? I emailed David Taylor with these questions regarding the configuration, and he replied that he can't quite remember exactly how he configured his system, and if that PPS file needed to be created from scratch or not. So he directed me to the newsgroup. If someone could give me a complete list of steps that need to be taken to configure FreeBSD to use the GPS 18 LVC, or point me to some documentation on the matter, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm new to FreeBSD and don't know my way around.
