Re: [gpsd-users] GPSD issues on Raspberry Pi running Raspbian

[Pedro Vaz Teixeira]

Gary --  the issue was indeed that gpsd was not being run with sudo. Could I perhaps suggest to change the NTP microserver tutorial accordingly?

David -- thank you for those links (and putting those online). After I got it to work last night (offsets are now consistently below 500us) I started looking into your pages, and especially the performance plots.

Thanks

Pedro

Hi,

I am trying to setup a raspberry pi (model B rev 1.0) as a Stratum 1 microserver, and am following the procedure described in [1]. So far, I've had mixed results: while I've had to change some of the build commands [2], I have been able to build both gpsd and ntpsec on the raspi. The one issue blocking me right now is that I am unable to have gpsd output time notifications via shared memory (confirmed by ntpshmmon showing no output and ntpq -p showing a reach of zero for both gps and pps sources).

Thanks in advance, and kind regards,

Pedro,

You may find form useful notes here - using the reference implementation of NTP.

More background and how it developed over time:

I get excellent performance from a model B Raspberry Pi with gpsd/ntp:

Having it in an unheated cupboard undoubtedly helps!

Cheers,
David
