[chrony-users] Help Chrony synchronization(connectivity) is lost after 10 to 15 minutes.

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


I have used for logging sensor data while not connected to the Internet.I want to use a GPS receiver for the time synchronization. I would like to use gpsd and chrony to achieve this.

here is my chrony.conf file

    refclock SOCK /var/run/chrony.ttyS0.sock refid SOCK
    keyfile /etc/chrony/chrony.keys
    commandkey 1
    driftfile /var/lib/chrony/chrony.drift
    log tracking measurements statistics
    logdir /var/log/chrony
    
    # maxupdateskew 100.0
    
    dumponexit
    
    dumpdir /var/lib/chrony
    
    # local stratum 10
    allow
    
    logchange 0.5
    
    makestep 1 -1
    
    # mailonchange root@localhost 0.5
    
    hwclockfile /etc/adjtime
    
    rtcsync

When I run chronyc tracking and chronyc sources it looks like the my machine is connecting to GPS.

here my Chronyc tracking command output:

root@munsif:/home/munsif# chronyc sources -v

MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample 
=============================================================================== 
#* SOCK 0 4 7 10 -12us[ +561us] +/- 15us 

When we start the GPS chronyc sources -v says chrony is synchronized the gps sock... here is the output of chronyc sources.
After 5 to 10 mints chronyc sources -v command says GPS in not synchronized

root@munsif:/home/munsif# chronyc sources 
210 Number of sources = 1 
MS Name/IP address Stratum Poll Reach LastRx Last sample 
=============================================================================== 
#? SOCK 0 4 0 436 +121ns[ +132ns] +/- 3511ns 

Every thing is working fine for 5 to 10 mints and after that chrony is not sync with GPS.
when chrony is not sync I run following commands
systemctl restart chrony
systemctl restart gpsd
Now chrony is sync with GPS approx 5 to 10 mints and again after that connectivity is lost.

I have also put this question to stackoverflow and unix.exchange web.

Here this question link  and here is discussion link

Any help will be highly appreciated.

regrads.
