I'm attempting to run NTP 4.2.0 on my FreeBSD 5.x-STABLE box with an
external CDMA clock. The clock works just fine when connected to a
FreeBSD 4.8 box. When I attempt to use it with the 5.x box and with
ATOM and TRUETIME enabled in the NTP config.h file from the FreeBSD
packages, I get these errors:
Nov 9 17:26:36 bwctl ntpd[1253]: ntpd 4.2.0-a Mon Nov 8 11:18:06 PST
2004 (1)
Nov 9 17:26:36 bwctl ntpd[1253]: refclock_atom: time_pps_create
failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Nov 9 17:26:36 bwctl ntpd[1253]: configuration of 127.127.22.0 failed
Among other things, I have /dev/true0 and /dev/pps0 symlinked to
/dev/ttyd0. I have this line in my kernel config file:
options PPS_SYNC
Also, my ntp.conf file says:
server 127.127.5.0 prefer # 5 is trimble TRUETIME/ 0 is ttyd0
fudge 127.127.5.0 refid CDMA time1 0.011
server 127.127.22.0 minpoll 2 maxpoll 6 # 22 is PPS "ATOM" device
fudge 127.127.22.0 flag2 1 flag3 1
What else do I need to do to get 1PPS working on this machine?
Thanks,
Sean
