Small board with good Ethernet and GPS/PPS

2016-11-20 Thread Hal Murray
I'm looking for something like a Raspberry Pi with a GPS HAT to run ntp. The Raspberry Pi has its Ethernet connected via USB which adds a significant layer of jitter. So I'm looking for something similar but with a good Ethernet connection. [Yes, most people wouldn't notice the Ethernet

I'm looking for a low cost wrong endian system so I can verify (or debug) software that is supposed to be widely portable. Used/eBay is fine. Is there anything obvious I should be looking at? Or anything to avoid? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam.
