After a reboot the system might have been off for a long time
and the currently used value might be wrong. Remember that we
never ran the calibration and execute it on start.
We should only calibrate the clock if there is a GPS fix. Start
gpsd to determine if there is a fix or not. Work around trimble
decoding issues (sent an email upstream). We need to gain some
more experience to see if there memory leaks. We also need to
re-schedule the calibration depending on the outcome.
Change the sign before passing it as correction value. The error
is the difference between the TCXO and GPS. We need to correct by
the reverse of the error. This seems to be different depending on
the clock source we have.
This is a last minute untested change.
This runs the entire procedure for calibration with reasonable
error and success checking. It can be triggered from the VTY
of the sysmobts-mgr right now.
What is missing is to hook up with GPSD to check if the system
has a fix and provide a mode that will continously run the
calibration command.
In the long run we will connect to GPSD and wait for a fix and
then run the calibration. The first step is to open (and re-open)
the control connection to the BTS.
As the connection is on localhost there should not be a computation
overhead to always have the connection open. When connecting assume
that the ASYNC connect worked directly as otherwise we get no
notification of the failure.
This looks like a "bug" of libosmo-abis that should check if the
socket has been connected or not.
