Miroslav lichvar thanks for the reponse.

I don't think it is a firmware bug in GPS because I have made a little program(using c++
language) which is receiving SIGIO signal via serial port and it continuously receiving  GPS
and PPS data.

Since we have no idea what your little program is or what it does, it is
really hard to know what this means.


I have installed pps-tool, when I run ppstest /dev/pps0 command it is fetching data for 2 mints
and after that  pps0 says connection time out error.

Which tells me that what is wrong has nothing to do with chrony, but is
further back along the chain. Either you have found a kernel bug, or you have
a defective gps receiver.

I don't know the actual problem why ppstest /dev/pps0 command stop receiving PPS data while I
am receiving SIGIO pulse in my program ?

This is very strange. It looks like the time reported by the GPS
is suddenly off by ~14.4 hours.

And here it is almost exactly 24 hours off.

I think that indicates a firmware bug in the GPS. Is there a firmware
update you could apply?

I'd suggest to ask on the gpsd-users mailing lists and see if anyone
has experience with this device.
