[gpsd-users] Power saving

[Qingjun Wei]

Hello,

I am going to use gpsd on an embedded system that requires accurate and reliable timestamp. The system also has certain constraints in term of power consumption.

I found the power consumption of GPS antenna is too high for my specification. It is OK however to turn it on occasionally to re-caliber the system time, e.g. once per hour, in order to system system power.

I am wondering if gpsd and automatically handle that while still working with NTPd. For example, if I only turn on gps power for every power, will GPSd still be able to correct the NTPd time during that small time window?

Thanks a lot
