As for my board, its based on the Atmel AT91SAM9RLEK board.

I inherited this code. So I am still looking through the code to see where
the RTC is being set.
All I know at the moment is that whenever I power cycle and stop at the
Uboot prompt, then type "date" I see that date/time:
U-Boot> date
at91_rtc_readtime(): 2007-00-01 00:00:xx
Date: 2007-00-01     Time:  0:00:xx

xx increments depending on when I type the date command.
I just wonder where this year/month is being initialized.

thanks,
Steve
