| NOTE: This page is a work in progress. |
When building ntp for use within an image produced from OpenEmbedded there is an important concern with regard to setting the default server(s) used for time synchronisation.
From http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.html:
You must absolutely not use the default pool.ntp.org zone names as the default configuration in your application or appliance.
Once you have gone through the process of setting up / obtaining appropriate server address(es) - refer to the pool.ntp.org vendor info page - you can use these in your OE configuration. With an upcoming change you can simply set the NTP_SERVERS variable in your distro configuration; for older versions you will need to modify/bbappend the ntp recipe and modify the configuration files as needed.
