  • 46b402a0e   pps: add parallel port PPS signal generator ... Browse Code »

    Add PPS signal generator which utilizes STROBE pin of a parallel port to
    send PPS signals. It uses parport abstraction layer and hrtimers to
    precisely control the signal.

  • 697fb85fc   pps: LinuxPPS clients support ... Browse Code »

    Each PPS source can be registered/deregistered into the system by using
    special modules called "clients". They simply define the PPS sources'
    attributes and implement the time signal registration mechanism.

    This patch adds a special directory for such clients and adds a dummy
    client that can be useful to test system integrity on real systems.

    This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
    "LinuxPPS".

    PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
    provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
    use it to adjust system clock time.

    Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
    receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
    synchronisation to UTC.

    To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
    specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
    Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch. It
    provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
    get the time signal. The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
    to these char devices.
