NTP versus Systemd-timesyncd on the VOXL2
-
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 defaultsystemd-timesyncdon 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-timesyncdworks together withsystemdto correctly interpret the clock adjustments, so that run-time ofsystemdservices is properly calculated.Alex
