This is possible inside Fuego.

You can do something like this, from inside any test:

cmd "date $(date +%m%d%H%M%Y.%S)"

This will get the date from the host machine, and then executes date on the=
 DUT
using the resulting string.  If the DUT is using NTP or systemd's timesyncd=
, then
this might not work.  (But I presume that's not the case if the board doesn=
't
have the correct time on boot).

You can put this command at the end of the test_deploy() function in a fueg=
o_test.sh script,
or maybe at the beginning of the test_run() function.

This would cause the synchronization to happen for the test you put it in. =
 This will work
if you have a pre-determined set of tests.  You could add this line to=20
the first test your run after rebooting.  Or you could make a test specific=
ally to perform
this operation, and run it before other tests.

If you want to perform the time synchronization for every test, then there =
are ways to
add this to an overlay function, and trigger it using a special value for D=
ISTRIB in the
board file.

This is a bit complicated, but let me know if you'd like to do this, and I'=
ll write some
instructions.

I hope this helps.
