Time synchronization between mic and host/ntp-server?

[d06pbiu_e_]

Hello everyone!

I'm using mpss-3.4.3, with External bridge configuration.

Is it possible to synchronize time between mic and NTP-server? Or between mic and host?

The coprocessor takes its time from the host at the time of boot but does not run ntpd by default. There are extra rpms in the k1om directory in the MPSS that can be installed on the coprocessor to provide the ntp files if you would like to try it. There are instructions in the MPSS User's Guide telling you how to install rpms from the k1om directory. I haven't tried this myself, unfortunately; so I can't tell you if there are any dragons hiding in the dark here. If you run into any problems let us know.

As root on the host, I just used the following crontab entries to set the time, instead of fiddling with ntpd and extra RPM packages.  The clocks on the MICs are very inaccurate, so this is better than nothing.

15 * * * * ssh mic0 date -u $(date -u +%m%d%H%M.%S)
15 * * * * ssh mic1 date -u $(date -u +%m%d%H%M.%S)
15 * * * * ssh mic2 date -u $(date -u +%m%d%H%M.%S)
