 RTEMS lacks support for time synchronization via NTP. For the kernel space
 part see #2348 and #2349.

 There are several [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ntpd NTP clients]
 available.

 Candidates for RTEMS:

 1. FreeBSD uses the NTP reference implementation in its base system. This
 could be used via libbsd.

 2. [https://www.ntpsec.org/ NTPsec]

 3. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenNTPD OpenNTPD]: Seems to be less
 accurate compared to the reference implementation.

 4. [http://chrony.tuxfamily.org/ chrony]: GPLv2

 5. SNTP?

 6. Anything else?
