URGENT- NTP not using PPS
 
I am using
Kernel :2.6.23rc2
PPS patch: ntp -pps-2.6.23rc2.diff
NTP version: ntp-4.2.4P4

I have enabled PPS support as a module.Under this I have selected PPS debugging message,UART serial support.

I am using GPS Receiver TRIMBLE ACE 3 .
PPS from GPS receiver is fed to MAX232 and output of MAX232 is fed to DCD pin of serial port.The serial port I have used is ttys3.



The relevant part of my ntp.conf is

-------------------------------------------------------------

enable stats

statsdir /var/log

statics loopstats

logconfig = all
server 127.127.8.3 mode 138 prefer iburst
fudge 127.127.8.3 refid TSIP flag3 1 flag2 0 time1 0.042



server 127.127.1.0

fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10

-------------------------------------------------------------


These are the results after about half an hour:

-------------------------------------------------------------

ntpq -p


remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter

-------------------------------------------------------------

ntptime

------------------------------------------------------------

Information for generic driver is coming in log file.But no info regarding PPS is coming in log file.

But if I am runing the ppstest file I can see PPS data.



What could be the possible reason for PPS not being used?

Please feel free to ask if any more details is required...
