[ntp:questions] Have Pi, have GPS = low powered NTP server?

[bealevideo at gmail.com]

In case of interest, I got NTP with PPS from a GPS receiver running on the Raspberry Pi.  My peak error (looking at the kernel's PPS timestamps) went from about +/- 2 msec using remote NTP servers, to about 60 usec with PPS enabled (limited by variability in the R-Pi's interrupt latency.) Using "Raspbian" kernel compiled with PPS support. More info, and graphs at
