PROCESSOR-SDK-AM65X: how to enable NTP timesync with static IP

Part Number: PROCESSOR-SDK-AM65X


Hi All,

I'm developing with the AM65xx chip using processor sdk linux 6.2.0.81. I have my board connected to my ubuntu VM.

i'm not sure what i need to do to have my board sync with the time on the VM.

I tried to follow these instructions:

https://vitux.com/how-to-install-ntp-server-and-client-on-ubuntu/

but I keep getting an error when i try to install ntp on the am65..

root@am65xx-evm:~# opkg install ntp_4.2.8p13-r0_aarch64.ipk
Installing ntp (4.2.8p13) on root
Running useradd commands...
NOTE: ntp: Performing useradd with [ --system --home-dir /var/lib/ntp --no-create-home --shell /bin/false --user-group ntp]
NOTE: ntp: user ntp already exists, not re-creating it
Existing conffile /etc/ntp.conf is different from the conffile in the new package.
The new conffile will be placed at /etc/ntp.conf-opkg.
Configuring ntp.
update-alternatives: Error: not linking /usr/sbin/ntpd to /usr/sbin/ntpd.ntp since /usr/sbin/ntpd exists and is not a link
Collected errors:
* pkg_run_script: package "ntp" postinst script returned status 1.
* opkg_configure: ntp.postinst returned 1.

not sure what to do from here....
