Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 14:28:50 +0100 Message-ID: <14969.922109330@critter.freebsd.dk> From: Poul-Henning Kamp Bcc: Blind Distribution List: ; MIME-Version: 1.0 I have just merged the recent modifications to the kernel support for NTPD from -current to -stable. We now fully support both XNTPD version 3 (as in usr/src/usr.sbin) and NTPD version 4 in both -current & -stable. In fact, we not only support it, we define state of the art performance when using the pci/xrpu.c driver. We have only adopted the PLL/FLL section of Dave Mills "nanokernel", the rest of the stuff is still "timecounter" based. We have PPS-API support on the parallel port and on the pci/xrpu.c driver, John Hay has submitted patches to me for PPS-API support on sio.c (DCD) these will be committed to -current once I have them tested. I may experient a bit with hardpps() in -current if I can find the time, but these experiments will not be reflected in -stable until some kind of conclusion has been reached. The issue at hand is if a "normal" 2nd order PLL would do better for precise-phase hardpps() signals ("prefer peers") Anyone out there with hardpps() able refclocks are invited to join in on these experients. If you want to try out the pci/xrpu.c timestamping function, send me email, I have not committed the VHDL & stuff to the tree yet.
