SNPT Client and ServerΒΆ

All AC500 processor modules with onboard Ethernet support can be configured as Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) servers and clients.

The SNTP protocol is specified in `RFC 4330 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4330 >`_

Since the packet format is the same between NTP and SNTP, an AC500 SNTP client can also use any (full) NTP server to receive time information.
