Brian, Sorry about the long post.
I was on a similar path recently. I wanted to create a nice and simple Stratum 1 server using a beagleboard. In addition, I wanted to create a nice case for it so I would enjoy looking at it from my desk. Since I was already using a GPS Motorola receiver to create a Linux NTP server, I was pretty sure I had most of the parts. Since The Beagleboard is using systemd I figured I would start by creating a CentOS 7 Stratum 1 machine so I can figure out all the systemd pieces. I finished this 5 days ago. Next, using Cadence Allegro (OrCAD) I designed a proto cape for the Beagleboard. This is also done. I figure I will use the proto cape as a prototype board and also get familiar with all the pins on the Beagleboard I/O headers. This is also done (mostly) as of yesterday. Actually, I was in the middle of documenting this when this thread caught my eye. You and everyone on this list are welcome to the Cadence Project and all the files. You can use this basic project to design any cape for the Beagleboard. I am releasing it as free. Just mention my company: Maxima Physics. I will finish the documentation for CentOS 7 + NTP server over the next few days. I have also been fighting a nasty flu :( Comments are most welcome. -George Hrysanthopoulos On 12/10/2014 04:58 PM, Brian Lloyd wrote: > Well, I am hoping to get to the point where the path to using the BBB as an > NTP server using the PRU for more precise timing, and using the LTE-lite to > provide the 1pps and time data.
