Again, I was suggesting to start from a more standard kernel configuration, like so: CONFIG_NO_HZ_COMMON=y CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y # CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL is not set CONFIG_NO_HZ=y CONFIG_PPS=y # CONFIG_PPS_DEBUG is not set # PPS clients support # CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_KTIMER is not set CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_LDISC=m CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_PARPORT=m CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_GPIO=m # PPS generators support Once you have that working correctly you can try to enable hardpps, but I suspect that it has bitrotted quite a bit except for the handful of embedded platforms where it is still the standard config. In other words, there may be new incompatibilities on your platform that nobody has yet encountered via interactions with other parts of the kernel (power management and the like). > Yet we still see: > REFCLOCK: refclock_ppsapi: time_pps_create: Operation not supported So does the PPS device exist and does it generate events? If it's coming in via a serial device, have you started an ldattach to enable the PPS line discipline? If it is a link to the actual device (as usual /dev/gpspps0 -> /dev/pps0), does it point to the correct device? Are the permissions on the device correct? lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Nov 3 12:59 /dev/gps0 -> ttyS0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Nov 3 12:59 /dev/gpspps0 -> pps0 crw-rw---- 1 root ntp 249, 0 Nov 3 12:59 /dev/pps0 Remember that running the PPS in via a serial line w/ PPS line discipline and having hardpps configured the kernel will take over the clock steering and NTP just needs to watch (which you need to tell it via flag3). The data you've shown indicates you run with hardpps _and_ try to steer the clock with ntpd as well.
