First I would verify if it really runs to microsecond accuracy, at least when you require that. My experience with small computers running NTP synced to PPS that they have a tendency to be 1-3 magnitudes worse at timing stability, probably because of the lack of a sufficiently fast and accurate timing counter. Of course, it could still be good enough when you want to use it as a network time server. It wasn't good enough for my co-channeling software that requires the clock to be accurate within a few microseconds. Intel CPU driven 64-bit PC systems have no problem with that. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
