Sync with ntp

[ith...@gmail.com]

Hi, my Beaglebone Blue does not sync with NTP. I followed the instructions at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46148481/set-the-date-in-begalebone-black-using-ntp-debian-8-9 but just as in the case of the original poster, the BB does not sync after reboot. Can anything be done with that? RPi does sync with NTP out-of-the-box on the same Wifi.

By default we ship with systemd-timesyncd enabled and active.. The
ntp package was probally blocked by that..

Thus, by default BB is expected to synchronize? It it did not do this, this may mean that some ports are blocked?
