When building [http://support.ntp.org 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:

<blockquote>
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 link above - you can use these in your OE configuration. With an upcoming change you can simply set the <code>NTP_SERVERS</code> variable in your distro configuration; for older versions you will need to modify/bbappend the ntp recipe and modify the configuration files as needed.
