Available Packages
Name : oscillatord
Version : 3.3.7
Release : 2.el8
Architecture : x86_64
Size : 106 k
Source : oscillatord-3.3.7-2.el8.src.rpm
Repository : epel
Summary : Daemon for disciplining an oscillator
URL : https://github.com/Orolia2s/oscillatord
License : GPLv2+
Description : The oscillatord daemon takes input from a PHC clock, reporting once per second,
: the phase error between an oscillator and a reference GNSS receiver. For an
: example of such a device, please see the ptp_ocp kernel driver.
:
: The phase error read is then used as an input to the disciplining-minipod
: library which will compute a setpoint, used by oscillatord to control an
: oscillator and discipline it to the 1PPS from a GNSS receiver. Oscillatord also
: sets PHC'stime at start up, using Output from a GNSS receiver.
:
: To communicate with GNSS receiver's serial it uses ubloxcfg
