Missing ntpdate or ntpclient in picore 7.0

[fault-tolerant]

Can't seem to find any means of getting time from NTP server in picore 7.0. In x86 tinycore I have the ntpclient. Should I compile it from source? Anyone did that already? I also noticed this function can be included in the busybox at compile time. Can I suggest that, especially for the Raspberry Pi?

BusyBox ntpd is included in base. It is used to setup time from ntp server during startup. Try.

Thank, @bmarkus, however I'm actually after a CLI tool to manually set the time rather than a daemon. I'm trying to port our java application to RaPi2 with piCore, and it manages the timekeeping by itself. On Ubuntu it used to work with ntpdate. If there's no other option, I will try to work with ntpd, of course.
By the way, I mentioned compiling - is there a compiletc.tcz for piCore to quickly set up the environment?

When used default network config, than the ntpd is automatically started just after dhcp execution.
When used static IP setup, you need to start it manually with:

Code: (bash) [Select]

# Set the time
/etc/init.d/settime.sh

From my practice, this build in ntpd is working much better than ntp, or ntpdate, even on highly secured networks.

By the way, I mentioned compiling - is there a compiletc.tcz for piCore to quickly set up the environment?

For sure, there is compile-essentials.tcz and other stuff for feature-rich compiling.
Hence you're newbie, please take a look around the forum for more info how this nice community works.

Thanks, @jgrulich! I will follow your advice. piCore is somewhat different indeed, but I shall catch up with it.

UPDATE:
Of course, ntpd has the -q option. And there are the helper scripts settime.sh and getTime.sh.
Thanks again.
