Abstract
A time synchronization system includes a host system, a BIOS module, a BMC module, and a RTC module. The BIOS module is embedded in the host system. The BMC module is connected with the BIOS module and communicates with the BIOS module. The RTC module communicates with the BMC module and provides time signals to the BMC module. The host system acquires the time signals from the BMC module through the BIOS module.
