A system and method provides accurate time generation in a computing device that includes a computing device clock and a microprocessor. The method includes determining a total system latency based on a delay incurred between issuance of a first command by the microprocessor and receipt of a first time-data signal by the microprocessor. The first time-data signal is representative of a master clock output of a master clock device at a first time. The method also includes deriving an accurate time from a second time-data signal. The second time-data signal is representative of the master clock output at a second time known by the microprocessor. The method further includes adjusting the accurate time based on a percentage of the total system latency to form a latency adjusted time, and applying the latency adjusted time to the computing device clock to synchronize the computing device clock to the master clock output.
