Yep. Planning on hooking up MSF, DCF, and TDF clocks to GPIO pins, as well as some GPS units. Originally planned for doing this with some Pi, but found the bone had serial ports and things developed from there Planning on abusing UART3's CTS pin for initial basic testing, as radioclkd and radioclkd2 have only support for serial ports, but then it will be working out what if anything I need to patch into the kernel to get the PPS subsystem to listen to particular GPIO pins. Also planning to test PHK's ntpns, which has DCF support, and should be easy to modify for MSF. Anyway, this is heading far too quickly to being on-topic for time-nuts but off-topic here Iain
