There doesn't appear to be one.  'hwclock' can't find a clock at /dev/rtc0?,
and there's nothing in the dmesg relating to any form of hardware clock.

As well, looking at the board, there's no battery present.  So even if there
was a clock, it would be reset anytime the board lost power.

They do, using n.ubnt.pool.ntp.org.
