I have a BeagleBone Black system which monitors things on a boat. When it powers up the time is basically random, there's no CMOS clock to give it a start.
Thus I need a way to get it to about the right time and date for ntpd to take over and keep it correct.
What's the normal way of doing this? It needs to be automatically run at startup.
