Raspberry Pi system clock is not synchronized

Hello,

This is not the issue with rauc but my raspberry pi system clock is not in sync.

Its set to some static time and I want to show real time instead. I have selected BR2_PACKAGE_RTC_TOOLS=y, BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_HWCLOCK=y and BR2_PACKAGE_NTP=y, BR2_PACKAGE_NTP_NTPDATE=y, BR2_PACKAGE_NTP_NTPTIME=y in menuconfig. But still it's same result.

The timedatectl shows:

Local time: Tue 2022-01-18 11:52:05 UTC Universal time: Tue 2022-01-18 11:52:05 UTC RTC time: n/a Time zone: Etc/UTC (UTC, +0000) System clock synchronized: no NTP service: active RTC in local TZ: no

The systemctl status systemd-timesyncd shows:

systemd-timesyncd.service - Network Time Synchronization
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-timesyncd.service; enabled;
     Active: active (running) since Tue 2022-01-18 11:35:47 UTC; 17min ago
       Docs: man:systemd-timesyncd.service(8)
   Main PID: 194 (systemd-timesyn)
     Status: "Daemon is running"
      Tasks: 1 (limit: 1009)

Jan 18 11:35:46 br2rauc systemd[1]: Starting Network Time Synchronization...
Jan 18 11:35:47 br2rauc systemd[1]: Started Network Time Synchronization.

And timedatectl show-timesync results in:

FallbackNTPServers=time1.google.com time2.google.com time3.google.com time4.google.com
RootDistanceMaxUSec=5s
PollIntervalMinUSec=32s
PollIntervalMaxUSec=34min 8s
PollIntervalUSec=0
Frequency=0

I don't know why but /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf looks like not set

[Time]
#NTP=
#FallbackNTP=time1.google.com time2.google.com time3.google.com time4.google.com
#RootDistanceMaxSec=5
#PollIntervalMinSec=32
#PollIntervalMaxSec=2048
#SaveIntervalSec=60

Do I need to set any value for NTP?

I also tried by enabling BR2_PACKAGE_HTPDATE=y and systemctl status htpdate.status shows:

     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/htpdate.service; enabled; vendor pr

As you can see above date and time is set to Jan 18. While booting Pi is not connected to internet. And I connect to internet using connmanafter system boot. But even after restarting systemd-timesyncd it's same result.

I have asked this in other forums too, but didn't get any response. Thought you may have some ideas on this.

Can you please let me know what is the issue here?

Thanks in advance.

The comments in /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf show the default values. If you want to override them, you will need to create a custom configuration file. The default configuration works and properly sets the time and date for me (Central USA), so you do not need to have NTP set, timesyncd will use the fallback servers. I suspect you need to either update firewall rules between the br2rauc system and the internet or select an NTP server that is active for your region.
