Agreed - the issues are not on IoT dev SoC boards with GB of RAM and flash, running minimal BSD or Linux distros, but the deployed SoCs may have only MB or even KB of ROM, RAM, and perhaps no flash.
Many slave devices do not rely on having a power consuming clock actually on board and instead access a master time source on the system, so the need for a full calendar system is avoided, but instead the time service needs to handle DST changes and this is where tzdist provides a documented standard to provide that area of the service. -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - https://lsces.uk/wiki/Contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - https://lsces.uk Model Engineers Digital Workshop - https://medw.uk Rainbow Digital Media - https://rainbowdigitalmedia.uk
