I'm not sure if ntpdate is included in the BBB image or not, but that
could be added to the startup script, before asterisk is called.

manually, you could, from a command line prompt, type

astdn.sh [Enter]

then

ntpdate pool.ntp.org

then astup.sh

You could also create an 'alias', with the above information and call it
'timestamp' or something that's not a unix command.
