I have a similar setup and running now (minus the custom pcb) using a 
Venus638FLPx module from Sparkfun (~$50 + antenna).  The module was easy to 
configure and had a decent 1PPS output.  So far, everything is working 
(hardware-wise, I still have some NTP settings to tweak).  I have the 256MB 
version of the Pi and it seems to handle the load just fine.

Subject: [time-nuts] RasberryPi, timing and GPS receivers

Hello everyone,

I started a new project for myself where I would use the RasperryPi Linux board 
as a NTP server.

My goal is to design a custom board for the Pi and mount a GPS receiver on it. 
With this combination, I should be able to configure NTP for the Pi and thus 
have the Pi act as a Stratum 1 NTP server.

The new RasberryPI has 512MB memory so it should be fine for running just ntpd.

Question: What GPS timing module should I go with? No more Motorola Oncore so 
what's best right now? Who sell modules? What are the price ranges?

Your comments are most welcome.
