Using a Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black is a good idea. Maybe better than my idea to find an old PC notebook and put Linus or UNIX on it. The embedded boards cost less and use less power. And I really doubt you'd need the "stretch" a PPS because both boards run general purpose I/O lines out to headers. You don't have to send the PPS through the serial port if you use a Raspberry Pi or Beaglebone Black. You could remotely log into the little embedded system using SSH and then do whatever you need to. But both those embedded systems are ARM based. You will not be able to run Wine or a virtual PC on ARM so no Windows software can be used. As for SNMP. It looks like you'd have to write some software for that yourself. It is not hard to decode the binary data coming from the GPS recover. You can start with an open source TSIP reader then modify it to send SNMP. -- Chris Albertson Redondo Beach, California _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
