This package enabled NTP (Network Time Protocol) support.
For more information about the NTP daemon/client (ntpd) used in the Motorola STB please read www.ntp.org.
There're triple kinds of options for this iip, and should not mix them together.
All parameter available for the NTP daemon/client can be passed though via iip parameters, i.e kreatv-option-ntp:<option>=<string>,...
Some configuration parameter examples. For detailed information about configuration options please read Server Options.
The first server option will be used for setting the system time at boot time before the NTP daemon is started, this is needed since if the difference is to large between the system clock and the time recived the NTP daemon will exit.
A simple example: kreatv-option-ntp:server=0.pool.ntp.org,server=1.pool.ntp.org,server=2.pool.ntp.org
2.To add support for retrieval of NTP server configuration through DHCP add the iip parameter dhcp, i.e kreatv-option-ntp:dhcp
3.To add support for retrieval of NTP server configuration through information object, add the iip parameter configurable=true, i.e kreatv-option-ntp:configurable=true
The default server object is cfg.ntp.server, minpoll is cfg.ntp.minpoll, maxpoll is cfg.ntp.maxpoll.
We can select the specific information object of server, minpoll, and maxpoll, i.e kreatv-option-ntp:configurable=true,server_object=cfg.ntp.ntpserver,minpoll_object=cfg.ntp.ntpminpoll,maxpoll_object=cfg.ntp.maxpoll, replace the default after '=' with your own objects. If you want to set default ntp server when the server_object value is empty, you can use default_server=timehost.cig.mot.com here. If after the box booting, the server_object value is changed permanently, then the default_server value will not used
