I got the pi booting, soldered the pin header to the HAT, mounted the
HAT and checked if it was sending data. After all that, I started
reading past the hardware list in the HOWTO. I was surprised at the broad detail in there. </span><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533004849996_14357">I
thought the HOWTO would assume a working pi and start somewhere at "get NTPSec s/w; here's how
to start building it" (I found buildprep a few weeks ago). Would you like
me to verify the ddimage/dcfldd steps? Perhaps as a replacement for those steps, I would suggest having some links to Raspbian or ArchLinux ARM or Fedora or whatever. I've always thought of the linux world as somewhat help yourself first and then ask questions. </span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533004849996_19314"><span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533004849996_14357"></span><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1533004849996_18226">Please don't take any of that as I'm not willing to check it out.
