Building a Stratum 1 NTP Server Using Odroid C2

Self-Hosted & Services pfSense/Opensense

I am trying to follow this guide: Local stratum-1 NTP server
to build an NTP server but it appears that the guide maybe missing some steps. I can not get it to work. I just got into this as a hobby and do not know much on the topics. If anyone have followed this guide or built with the hardware on the guide can help, I would appreciate it?

Thanks

For example, when I run the following commands from the GPS configuration portion:

/bin/stty -F /dev/gps0 raw 9600 cs8 clocal -cstopb > /dev/null 2>&1
cat /dev/gps0

I get the below output instead of the expected output:

In addition, following the rest of the guide yield additional errors.

I am in the process of going through it again. I will come back and provide more info…

You’ve got a data encoding error somewhere. It’s outputting binary data to the console.
