[time-nuts] An embedded NTP server

Hi

Most of the small micro's don't get very fancy on the clock chain. You are lucky if the VCO is running at twice the CPU clock. In some cases the input capture(s) (and PWM's)  are running directly on the VCO (at say 72 MHz) and the CPU is running at half  or a quarter of that.
