Technical Support

hello dear support
i am using Colibri imx 6 ntp with timedatectl commands and /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf configuration and updated opkg install tzdata*
I have set timedatectl set-ntp false, but the output has changed to:

root@colibri-imx6:~# timedatectl
      Local time: Sat 2023-10-14 09:26:42
  Universal time: Sat 2023-10-14 05:56:42 UTC
        RTC time: Sat 2023-10-14 05:57:10
       Time zone: right/America/Bahia
 Network time on: no
NTP synchronized: yes
 RTC in local TZ: no

Everything is fine when DNS and gateway are not available. However, whenever I set these two items, the time changes to NTP automatically, which is not what I want.
What am I doing wrong in this process?
what should i do to prevent NTP updating my time even if the server is available
I have tried using the command “systemctl mask systemd-timesyncd” and stopping it, but it didn’t work as I intended.
appreciate your support

Hello again, my dear friend.
Unfortunately, I am not using BSP above version 6. As mentioned on your website by your engineer, if you are using BSP 6 or later, simply run the following steps. However, I am currently using the 2.8b6 customized image with Yocto.
