ClockΒΆ

After a cold boot the real-time clock (RTC) of the i.MX28 lose its setting and needs to be reinitialized with current time.

New EVAcharge SE factory images (v1.6 and later) already contains a NTP daemon which could fetch the current time from the internet. But this requires a working network configuration with a gateway and at least 1 DNS server. So please follow the Debian network documentation.

As per default the NTP daemon is preconfigured for the following servers:

  • 0.debian.pool.ntp.org
  • 1.debian.pool.ntp.org
  • 2.debian.pool.ntp.org
  • 3.debian.pool.ntp.org

The NTP configuration itself is located in this file:

/etc/ntp.conf

Please refer to the Debian NTP documentation and NTP pool project for more information.
