NTP + Timezone

Configuration in /etc/config/system

Change ntp server from default chinese server to ntp.cloudflare.com or any other NTP server

change timezone: Delete timezone line and edit zonename line

TZ names

Example for Europe/Berlin:

config system
        option hostname TinaLinux
        option zonename Europe/Berlin 
        option log_file /tmp/.lastlog
        option log_size 512
        option log_buffer_size 64

config timeserver ntp
        list server time.cloudflare.com
        option enable 1
        option enable_server 0

Serial / MAC address

The device has a random mac address on every boot by default. This gets annoying because DHCP servers will assign a new IP every boot.

To fix this, we add a startup script:

Startup script

On boot, /usr/trimui/bin/runtrimui.sh is executed, which in turn executes every script in SD/System/starts/
To get a consistent mac address and thus IP address, we change the mac on boot:

On the SD card, create the file System/starts/mac.sh. Capitalizaton matters.

Content of the script. change mac address to what you want it to be (or leave it as it is).
