The Soekris modification is an example of time-nut pursuit of a goal. A side effect was a very good NTP local clock. If you goal is a very good local clock then that's an approach. If you goal is time transfer using NTP over ethernet then it's over-kill. I'm not sure of your goal. Modern replacements for the 4501 have been discussed previously. E.g. the BeagleBone Black can be clocked externally and has co-processors that can do hi-res time stamps independent of the primary CPU. _______________________________________________ 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.
