With the serial rate addressed, here are the ntpq -crv and ntpq -ccv

 Its just the strangest thing that I cannot put my finger on. When I
had
Debian's kfreebsd running, data from /dev/cuau0 came through just
fine.
But once I switched over to FreeBSD v9 and patched the kernel for PPS,
I'm stuck in this limbo state of seeing data (note: cu -l /dev/cuau0 -
s 9600) below
on /dev/cuau0, but with NTP running, it just comes back with nothing.
I also have /dev/gps0 linked to /dev/cuau0, so its not a missing link
issue.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

I have some novice-level FreeBSD notes here:

 http://www.satsignal.eu/ntp/FreeBSD-GPS-PPS.htm

I see that the device may need to be either cuaa1 or cuad1 for a serial port on COM1.

For the default on the Sure board I have set 9600 baud (mode 16) and use $GPGGA sentences (mode 2) making the net mode=18.

To clarify, though, I use a Garmin GPS 18 LVC on the FreeBSD system, and both Sure boards are connected to Windows stratum-1 servers, which also have the PPS over DCD connected and enabled with the serial PPS driver for Windows. Enquiring remotely of one of these PCs gives:

C:\>ntpq "-c cv &2" alta
associd=9890 status=00f2 15 events, clk_bad_format,
device="NMEA GPS Clock",
timecode="$GPGGA,161311.000,5554.4196,N,00312.0735,W,1,8,0.99,185.5,M,49.6,M,,*4B",
poll=24648, noreply=7842, badformat=2757569, baddata=0, stratum=0,
refid=GPS, flags=0

There is an issue with the serial I/O handling in Windows which is being worked on at the moment, which (we hope) accounts for the large number of badformat reports.

Perhaps some of this may help.

Cheers,
David
