[chrony-users] Chrony and raw DCF receivers?

[ Thread Index | Date Index | More chrony.tuxfamily.org/chrony-users Archives ]


Hi,
I wanted to setup my own stratum 1 NTP server, so I wired a raw DCF77 receiver (127.127.8.0 mode 5 or 127.127.8.0 mode 6 with ntpd) to a SBC and tested a bit with ntpd. After some time I decided to give chrony a try as ntpd had too much shortcomings.

Now chronyc is a complete show stopper as I can't find a way to tell it to read the DCF77 signal. There are only options for PPS (GPS receivers, I think). SHM also is no option as the only thing usable with this is radioclk but that seems to be for ntpd only:

$ apt-get install radioclk

So how to use chrony with a raw DCF77 receiver? There doesn't seem to be any info on the net other than
