      Hello,

      Just a general question about timesyncd and how it is used in voxl-services. I installed NTP onto the VOXL2 without an issue and noticed that systemd-timesyncd can not run at the same time. So since systemd-timesyncd is just a simplified version of NTP that only perform as a client so there shouldn't be any issue. I have to double check with voxl-mavlink-server and the updating time stamps when not connected to the internet. That is really the only thing that I would foresee causing an issue. Not sure if anyone else would have an idea of anything else I should check?

      Thank you for your time,
      Aaron Porter

        @Aaron-Porter , I believe the time sync services are interchangeable, such as systemd-timesyncd, ntpd, chronyd. I don't think we have tried using anything other than the default systemd-timesyncd on voxl2.

        If you try those out, please let us know if you find any issues! Thanks

          @Alex-Kushleyev we are seeing this issue with NTP were the time is saying that the Service has been running for 2 years 7 months when the VOXL2 is booted up. It doesn't seem to correct after that. I am looking into away to solve this issue but odd that TimeSyncd didn't have the same issue.

            @Aaron-Porter , perhaps systemd-timesyncd works together with systemd to correctly interpret the clock adjustments, so that run-time of systemd services is properly calculated.
