I have a small embedded linux machine. Moxa UC-7112 Plus that I want to use as NTP server. http://www.moxa.com/product/UC-7110-LX.htm Its has MOXA ART ARM9 32-bit 192 MHz processor CPU.
Here are statistics I collected after using it a bit. This is using gpsd 2.33 to collect NMEA, PPS. remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter ============================================================================== +SHM(0) .NMEA. 0 l 8 16 377 0.000 -21.691 7.812 *SHM(1) .PPS. 0 l 1 16 377 0.000 -17.105 7.81 ntpq> cv status=0101 clk_noreply, last_clk_noreply, device="SHM/Shared memory interface", timecode=, poll=54, noreply=78, badformat=0, baddata=0, fudgetime1=0.000, stratum=0, refid=PPS, flags=0 ntpq> rv status=09e4 leap_none, sync_telephone, 14 events, event_peer/strat_chg, version="ntpd 4....@1.786 Tue Sep 11 19:14:27 CDT 2007 (1)", processor="armv4tl", system="Linux2.6.9-uc0", leap=00, stratum=1, precision=-7, rootdelay=0.000, rootdispersion=32.592, peer=4253, refid=PPS, reftime=cd44982f.b9359791 Tue, Feb 17 2009 9:58:07.723, poll=4, clock=cd449838.649a9973 Tue, Feb 17 2009 9:58:16.392, state=4, offset=-13.494, frequency=142.853, jitter=7.908, stability=4.197 r...@moxa:~# cat /proc/cpuinfo Processor : ARM922Tid(wb) rev 1 (v4l) BogoMIPS : 76.59 Features : swp half thumb CPU implementer : 0x66 CPU architecture: 4 CPU variant : 0x0 CPU part : 0x526 CPU revision : 1 Cache type : VIVT write-back Cache clean : cp15 c7 ops Cache lockdown : format B Cache format : Harvard I size : 16384 I assoc : 2 I line length : 16 I sets : 512 D size : 16384 D assoc : 2 D line length : 16 D sets : 512 Some gpsd messages in case : gpsd: <= GPS: $GPZDA,020012.000,17,02,2009,,*58 gpsd: carrier-detect on /dev/ttyM1 changed to 0 gpsd: carrier-detect on /dev/ttyM1 changed to 1 gpsd: ntpshm_pps: precision -6 ntp.conf server 127.127.28.0 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 fudge 127.127.28.0 time1 0.411 refid NMEA server 127.127.28.1 minpoll 4 maxpoll 4 prefer fudge 127.127.28.1 refid PPS I am curious if the platform is the limitation, or if there are things that can be done to make this work well as a NTP server, because now the accuracy is unacceptable.
