Hello Forum,
i want to set up a stratum 1 server on the pine, with the Adafruit GPS-Board. On the Pi it's no problem, because i don't need to make big changes.
What I have done so far on pine:
Code: $ git clone --depth 1 --single-branch -b pine64-hacks-1.2 https://github.com/longsleep/linux-pine64
$ curl -sSL https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/raw/master/blobs/pine64.dts > linux-pine64/arch/arm64/boot/dts/sun50i-a64-pine64-plus.dts
$ make menuconfig
The pps-part in the config looks like this:
Code: #
# PPS support
#
CONFIG_PPS=m
CONFIG_PPS_DEBUG=y
#
# PPS clients support
#
CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_KTIMER=m
CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_LDISC=m
CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_PARPORT=m
CONFIG_PPS_CLIENT_GPIO=m
#
# PPS generators support
#
After build dmesg shows:
Code: # dmesg | grep pps
[ 14.067625] pps_core: LinuxPPS API ver. 1 registered
[ 14.092242] pps_core: Software ver. 5.3.6 - Copyright 2005-2007 Rodolfo Giometti <giometti@linux.it>
But where the pin is defined?
The pps-source is connected to Pin 18 on the board.
That's all what I have found:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation...s-gpio.txt
https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/ta...?rev=44392
For me that sounds like rocket science. :/
Could somebody "take me by the hand" please, and tell me what is the next step?
(And please, excuse my bad english.)
Sebastian,
To make it work I believe there are changes needed to the DTS.
If you look at the procedure for Raspberry Pi you have to used so called "overlays". As far as I know current U-Boot does not support such mechanism, so it will require the changes to main DT file.
I was looking into using Pine as ntp server (better time resolution on 64bit system), unfortunately work is getting in the way

And i read about the DT-Files but i have no Idea where to start.
I opened the pine64.dts but as i said, it looks like rocket science for me. Maybe someone could take care of our little Problem.
Nope, not yet. :/
I have no idea what i need to do with the dts file(s).

Are we discussing device tree ?
There should be stuff on-line about it... between the on-line stuff, and a cross with the Raspberry PI, we ought to be able to figure this out...

Hi Marcus,
i have read a lot about it but i don't understand the half...
I know how to enable pps in the Kernel, but i have no idea how to define the Pin PC8 as the pps source in the device-tree.
For the Odroid C1+ its
pps {
compatible = "pps-gpio";
gpios = "GPIOY_3";
};
Any tips?

You first need to define the pin in pinctrl section, probably after Vdevice@0 :
Code: my_pps_pin@0 {
linux,phandle = <0xba>;
phandle = <0xba>;
allwinner,pins = "PC8";
allwinner,function = "gpio_in";
allwinner,pname = "pps_gpio";
allwinner,muxsel = <0x0>;
allwinner,pull = <0x1>;
allwinner,drive = <0x0>;
allwinner,data = <0xffffffff>;
};
Then, you declare the device (again after vdevice@0) :
Code: ppsgpio_device@0 {
compatible = "pps-gpio";
gpios = <0x30 0x2 0x8 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <0xba>;
status = "okay";
};
Then, recompile the dtb (always keep a backup of the original)

thx. i'll give it a try after the wedding... maybe tomorrow.

Congratulation on the wedding.
