Hi Bodhi,
many thanks!
You're right, Debian NTP resolves this problem to some extent but the actual time isn't available in the early boot process. I had some problems in the beginning because the synchronisation with the time server sometimes happened minutes later. My current quick-and-dirty solution was to smuggle a "sntp" command in one of the standard scripts which are executed very early in the boot process. But that is of course not an elegant solution ...
You're definitely right that there is some risk in testing uBoot but as far as I understood from the different posts in the forum it should be possible to load a uBoot binary with tftp into memory without flashing it permanently. Correct?
In this scenario the risk should be manageable.
