NetTime

any chance nettime will become part of the beagleboard ROM?

Adding it to the disc image would probably be a better idea, since it’s !Boot that currently handles the network stack initialisation. At some point I’ll have to remember to do this.

I’m also interested in updating RTCAdjust to run on beagleboard (and perhaps include it in the ROM) – I’ve noticed that the clock on my -xM tends to drift a bit. The RTC does have a register you can use to apply a small (up to 1 second) correction to the clock every hour, but obviously to make use of that feature it needs something like RTCAdjust to monitor the clock drift and work out the right correction value to use.

Adding it to the disc image would probably be a better idea, since it’s !Boot that currently handles the network stack initialisation. At some point I’ll have to remember to do this.

Unless Steve’s plan covers that and he fits it in before you!

Can some kind soul please tell me where to get NetTime from?
I’ve downloaded the latest HardDisc4.tar.bz2 and couldn’t see it anywhere :(

See Castle

Thanks David, is there any way I can download that without the Iyonix update software?

Curses etc, I saw the zip suffix and forgot about the IyoUpWtch bit!! Even better news is that even with IyoUpWtch on the Iyonix I cannot download the thing. However I have found it on my hard drive. There is a temporary copy on my site

Excellent!
Thanks David!

Does NetTime work on the Raspberry-Pi?

Does NetTime work on the Raspberry-Pi?

Yes.
The 13 Jul image had everything there except that the new Time & Date configure plug in was set to ‘set time manually’. The 14 Jul update has set this to ‘get time from network’.
