Sub:NTP not using PPS
I am using Kernel :2.6.23rc2PPS patch: ntp -pps-2.6.23rc2.diffNTP version: ntp-4.2.4P4
I have enabled PPS support as a module.Under this I have selected PPS debugging message,UART serial support.
I am using GPS Receiver TRIMBLE ACE 3 .PPS from GPS receiver is fed to MAX232 and output of MAX232 is fed to DCD pin of serial port.The serial port I have used is ttys3.
The relevant part of my ntp.conf is
-------------------------------------------------------------
enable stats
statsdir /var/log
statics loopstats
logconfig = allserver 127.127.8.3 mode 138 prefer iburstfudge 127.127.8.3 refid TSIP flag3 1 flag2 0 time1 0.042

These are the results after about half an hour:

Information for generic driver is coming in log file.But no info regarding PPS is coming in log file.
But if I am runing the ppstest file I can see PPS data.
What could be the possible reason for PPS not being used?
Please feel free to ask if any more details is required...
