As was pointed out in a previous email on this subject, it almost as if the clock stops running when the board is powered off. But, the loss of clock accuracy is also noticeable if the Maple board is left to run for extended periods of time.

Can you verify this by stopping ntpd and run

while true ; do ntpdate time.apple.com ; date ; hwclock ; done

hwclock will likely continue normal
date will show the loss of time
and ntpdate will show the increasing difference.
I wonder why noone else has seen that.
