Thanks...

Yesterday I decided to go with ntpq/ntpdate/and a ntpstat script which does some basic stats through ntpd/ntpq/ntpdate and Chrony. We will see how it goes might be enough...

what all functionality are you looking for. E.g. there is date utility and hwclock utility which can help you manipulate system time. you could also look into ntpd and/or chrony for Network time setting etc.

Is there any other utility I might use under Yocto to get similar data as that produced by timedatectl ?

Thanks,

Is there documentation on how to set this up ?
Please, try this:

https://github.com/ZoranStojsavljevic/bbb-yocto/blob/master/bbb-releases/bbb-dunfell/local.conf

This is the systemd addendum in my BBB Dunfell local.conf :

## Add systemd service
DISTRO_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED += "sysvinit"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_init_manager = "systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager = "systemd"
VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_initscripts = ""

With systemd added, you'll inherit timedatectl tool.

Best Regards,
Zoran

Hi Steve,

I currently have "ntpq" building and installing correctly...

Can someone tell me what it takes to get the "timedatectl" command utility built into Yocto kernel image ?

I see it referenced in both :

openembedded-core/meta/recipes-core/systemd/systemd_234.bb: ${bindir}/timedatectl \
poky/meta/recipes-core/systemd/systemd_234.bb: ${bindir}/timedatectl \
It comes with systemd. Use it as your init system and then you'll have the command.

I am trying to build an image with the following command line utilities built in: ntpq, timedatectl, and ntpstat.

 

Note : ntp is builtinto my image and working correctly.

 

I performed a simple test using “IMAGE_INSTALL_append = “ ntpq”, get no errors but the command is NOT present upon booting the image (same for the other 2).

 

I am working with Rocko 2.4.1, ntp 4.2.8p10.

 

Can you tell me (1) if they are supported, (2) how to pull them into my image so I might run from kernel ?

 

Thanks,

Steve
