NOTE: This page is a work in progress.

When building ntp for use within an image produced from OpenEmbedded there is an important concern with regard to setting the default server(s) used for time synchronisation.

From http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.html:

You must absolutely not use the default pool.ntp.org zone names as the default configuration in your application or appliance.

Once you have gone through the process of setting up / obtaining appropriate server address(es) - refer to the pool.ntp.org vendor info page - you can use these in your OE configuration. With an upcoming change you can simply set the NTP_SERVERS variable in your distro configuration; for older versions you will need to modify/bbappend the ntp recipe and modify the configuration files as needed.
