[Buildroot] hwclock again

[Buildroot] hwclock again

[JNY]

Hi,

I've enabled 
CONFIG_RTC=y
CONFIG_GEN_RTC=y
in linux-2.6.32.9.config and set the environment variable to read this file. 
After building and installing, I still get '/dev/misc/rtc': No such file or
directory when I use hwclock.

Why won't the hwclock work?

Just to check...
Do you have such a device (/dev/misc/rtc) in the target file system?

I have two targets target_skeleton, and target_busybox_skeleton (both
contained in target/generic), neither of which contain /dev/misc/rtc. 
However, neither contain ttyS0, and that ends up on the system when it's
loaded, and works.  What's going on?

Because nobody created /dev/misc/rtc. By default, Buildroot uses a
static /dev, so you have to manually add the missing device files.

Well, I meant the target file system being generated, not the actual
skeletons... Either loopback mount the generated file system, generate
tar:ed file system, or look directly at your target.

You'll also have a file, device_table.txt, that, among other things,
specifies device nodes to be generated. You'll most certainly find
ttyS0 being generated from this file.
