TiNI Time Server

Hi

Does anyone have or has anyone come across the Dallas TiNI evaluation
module (DS80C400) being used as a GPS-connected time server?  I've found
references to something called 'tinitim', but whatever it was seems to
have gone away.

I just rather like the idea of an ultra-low power device that works as
an NTP server, nothing else.

Cheers

M

Googled for the part number, got this:

Looked for "TiNI module":

Also found this: "TiniTim - A TINI Time Server"

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?

Quoth Chris Kuethe at 2008-03-09 11:57...

I've got the datasheets and even have a couple of sample DS80C400s -
just that coding NTP software is somewhat beyond me.  Wondered whether
the Java used in the evaluation module is suitable for this type of
application or if it is time critical and needs to be in C.

Giving some serious consideration to using one of these for my 1-Wire
weather system, once I get it off my main server.

Also found this: "TiniTim - A TINI Time Server"

That's one of the references I found; unfortunately, the link to the
project is dead :-(

Cheers
