It's much easier. You run Linux, don't you? The kernel module which lets ntpd use the card as reference time source can be loaded with a parameter which overrides the real board status and always tells ntpd the card is synchronized. Just load the module with the following parameter: modprobe mbgclock pretend_sync=1 Of course this parameter should only be used for testing.
