Hello list, I have a set of proprietary hardware timing cards (Symmetricom bc635PCIe) which synchronize their clocks using a dedicated interconnect. As you might imagine the timing card conditioned time drifts from that of the hosts they're installed in.
What I'd like to do is make the "master" timing card's time into a NTP reference clock then use NTP to distribute that time to the other hosts in the (private) network. I've looked at Orphan mode and undisciplined local clocks but they only refer to the host's software clock if I'm not mistaken. I've also searched through the archive but I'm afraid I lack the appropriate terminology to get meaningful results. Can someone point me toward (some google words maybe) creating an arbitrary NTP reference source (under Linux)? I think I'm just missing something very basic. I've been looking at the LinuxPPS project as these cards output a PPS that I might use to condition the host clock using Linux PPS but I don't have a 8250 serial port on these new fangled PCs. TIA!
