Hi, everybody.
I just finished porting 'ntpdate' to the HD900. This (standard Unix) utility synchronizes the HD900's wall-clock with high precision timeservers on the Internet. This can provide a workaround for the problem that the HD900 does not set its clock after a hard reboot; by including this command in your bootscripts, and given you have an active Internet connection, the clock will be set correctly.
I gladly would have uploaded it here, but it seems I can't upload here (yet). Anyway, you can fetch the binary yourselves: log in to your hd990,as root and execute these commands:
..done.
md5sum is: ae3dec3533b299713397fc23e7bf830c
Usage: /sbin/ntpdate -s name-of-ntp-server-on-the-Internet
