Thanks Bill,

I get “pi       17943 12439  0 08:32 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto gpsd”

 

I’m using the Adafruit Ultimate GPS hat.  Meinberg reports the Rpi4 server as a PPS time source.

 

When I run “sudo ntpq -c peers -n”

I actually have 2 NTP servers. (I got carried away).  One is the Rpi4 and the other is an RpiB+.  Both are running Buster.

Hi Dan,

 

then you are probably not using gpsd. You can check with:

ps -efwww | grep gpsd

What GPS are you using? Does it make a PPS signal available to your system? What does this print:

sudo ntpq -c peers -n

Bill,

I had the same question that Martin did.  “gpsd -V” doesn’t work for me. I get “gpsd: command not found”.  This is on a Rpi4 running Buster.

Hi Mike and all,

 

I checked my stratum 1 NTP server, which is a Raspberry Pi Raspberry Pi OS Linux system. It is using gpsd 3.17 (as is my 64-bit Rapberry Pi OS system) so I think a lot of home stratum 1 GPS time servers will be OK without patching. I would hope that the Debian package maintainers will skip gpsd 3.20 thru 3.22 if they decide to backport a newer version.

Hi Bill, I've also got a stratum 1 GPS NTP server based on an Raspberry Pi (Model B IIRC) that I built in 2015; it's running the 'wheezy' version of Raspbian.  I've never got round to trying to update to a later version of the OS!  How do I check what version of gpsd is installed?

73, and TIA
