I assume when we switch to > built-in again the resulting problem is the bigger one. I don't know which is the bigger problem here. When the rtc driver is built as module it can not be operated with the hwclock tool from the util-linux package due to the missing rtc UIE support. You finally have no hardware clock on these machines and must wait for ntp to shift time and date (my system always starts in February until ntp fixes the time). Maybe this problem is only relevant for the S35390A and PCF8563 chip which both lack the UIE support needed by hwclock. Both have only alarm triggers in a minute accuracy according to the driver source code. So CONFIG_RTC_DRV_S35390A=y and CONFIG_RTC_DRV_PCF8563=y should bring back the hw clocks on these machines. I assume using hwclock without UIE trigger code will impact the accuracy. >> As described in the referenced description the hwclock tool does not work on >> the machines. > > I'm not sure yet if this is a problem in hwclock() or the s35390a > driver. In detail it is hwclock together with rtc drivers not supporting UIE trigger with a 1 second resolution. Best regards, Oliver
