How to set time via ntp

That's by design, on every Linux system: RTC is in UTC. You need to set /etc/timezone according to your local zone.

Reminds me of an open to-do: https://github.com/siemens/meta-iot2000/issues/35

Hello,

Is there any news on this topic?

I am really interest.

Dear Bergamu,

With image V2.2, NTP is enabled and worked automatically when it connects to internet. Am I correct?

Because per my test, I never use "ntpd -q -g" command before, but the clock is updated to current time automatically once my IOT connects to internet.

Hello friends, I was reading carefully on the subject since I also have problems to adjust the local time, do you already have any solution? Thank you.

Rolant. 

The example image file installed in my IOT2040 is 2.4.0.

I tried using the  command below for setting the timezone to Kuala_Lumpur.

Step 1:

ntpd -q -g

Step 2:

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Kuala_Lumpur /etc/localtime

Note:(check /usr/share/zoneinfo for your timezone and city)

Step 3:

hwclock --systohc

I have checked when I reboot my IOT2040, it is still set to my local time.
