Thanks, uwe. I've been using the pages you list as a guide.
On a working (with PPS pulses) system:
cat /etc/modules contains "pps-gpio"
lsmod shows:
pps_ldisc used by: 2
pps_gpio used by: 1
pps_core used by: 4 pps_gpio,pps_ldisc
On a system with nothing connected to the PPS:
cat /etc/modules contains "pps-gpio"
lsmod shows:
pps_gpio used by: 0
pps_core used by: 1 pps_gpio
I'm unsure how to interpret the difference, or what pps_ldisc does.
