That is right - Yocto / ELDK do not include a receipe for NTP, but the OE receipe can be easy added. > I saw chkconfig and ntp in the list of ELDK target packages at > http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/ELDKPackages#Section_3.9.2. The list is related to the old ELDK-4.x, see the ancient gcc versions. All packages are obsolete nowadays. And yes, ELDK-4.x had a rpm package for NTP. > I thought there might be a chance that Yocto/ELDK had support for building > both.

Check the receipe here: https://github.com/openembedded/meta-oe/tree/master/meta-networking/recipes-support/ntp You can add it flawlessly to your ELDK environment.
