Functional Description
3-7
For information about how to configure system timekeeping daemons for this support, see
the section “System Timekeeping Configuration for GPS Support” in Chapter 2.
RedHawk Linux includes the RFC-2783 pulse per second (PPS) interface that
synchronizes the system time to the GPS PPS interface. The POSIX clock register is
captured on the on-time edge of the GPS PPS signal. This avoids the jitter which would be
introduced if an interrupt was used to capture the error between the system time and the
GPS time.
A dedicated serial interface,
/dev/rcim_uart
, is used by a software daemon (e.g.
ntp
or
chronyd
with
gpsd
) to communicate with the GPS receiver. This symbolic link is
pointed to the last RCIM found with a GPS. If another RCIM is to be used, the
administrator must point this special device to the uart special device file of the desired
RCIM to, for example,
/dev/rcim:3/uart
.
Likewise, the device which will receive the GPS pulse per second must be pointed to by
/dev/refclock-0
. This symbolic link also points to the last RCIM found having a
GPS. If that is not the GPS that is wanted, the administrator must point this symbolic link
to, for example,
/dev/rcim:3/gps
.
Tools such as
ntpq(1)
,
ntpdc(1)
, and
chronyc(1)
can be used for monitoring
timekeeping activity. Other aids include various log files that can be added to
/etc/ntp.conf
or
/etc/chrony.conf
if desired. Refer to the
ntpd(1)
and
chronyd(1)
man pages for more information.
