I would like to use the Atom driver (22) on a Linux system with a parallel port. It is not clear to me from the scattered info I have found on internet if this is going to work.
Using a modern Linux kernel with the PPS module, is it possible to symlink /dev/pps0 to a parallel port device and then connect the PPS signal to the ACK input (pin 10)? If not, what else is required to get this working? Examples always refer to the use of a serial port DCD input, but for best accuracy (in the microsecond range) I think the parallel port is better. (no RS232 drivers/receivers, no funny UART that may delay interrupts) Any other suggestions for an accurate PPS input? _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
