860 rtc problem

860 rtc problem

[leeyang]

Hi, all!
HW:860T custom board
SW:devel kernel 2.4.20-pre7 nfs mount on eldk

Problem:Can not adjust time in linux shell(with 'date -s' command)

RTC really runs when I use 'date' it says sometime around 1970's
and it runs when power up.
With 'date -s' command it returned time had been changed.
However after a reset,the time go back to 1970's again :-(

I try with 'hwclock' and it says below:

bash-2.04# hwclock --debug
hwclock 2.4c/util-linux-2.11f
Using /dev/rtc interface to clock.
Last drift adjustment done at 0 seconds after 1969
Last calibration done at 0 seconds after 1969
Hardware clock is on unknown time
Assuming hardware clock is kept in local time.
Waiting for clock tick...
/dev/rtc does not have interrupt functions. Waiting in loop for time from
/dev/rtc to change
...got clock tick
Time read from Hardware Clock: 1970/01/09 21:28:28
Hw clock time : 1970/01/09 21:28:28 = 786508 seconds since 1969
Fri Jan  9 21:28:28 1970  -0.188839 seconds


I guess it never really write value to RTC reg!!!
Hope help!

ps:I open /dev/rtc option in the kernel.

Regards!

`hwclock` with no arguments seems to be the same as `hwclock --show`. I
would recommend `hwclock -w`.

hwclock expects a standard /dev/rtc interface, which is not available
for the MPC8xx in some versions of the Linux kernel.

If you're  looking  for  an  implementation,  check  out  our  kernel
sources. It includes a MPC8xx RTC driver.

HOWTO USE

root@860# insmod rtc.o

NOTES

1.	date and "date -s" only set a software clock ("xtime")
2.	the software clock is initialised from a h/w RTC at boot
3.	to make a date change persistent across reboots make sure you set
	the RTC using rtc.
4.	"rtc w" without further opts will set the RTC to equal the
	software clock ("xtime")
5.	Make sure your 860 has a 32k RTC xtal oscilator, and Keep Alive

This appears to be a binary file.  And the easiest way to do this is to
make ppc_md.set_rtc_time / ppc_md.get_rtc_time point to functions which
do what their name implies.  Then enable CONFIG_PPC_RTC

You're right.  This is actually what the module I have sent you does!
The reason I wrote the module was merely to provide a way for userland
programs to set the RTC.

Er, okay.  But why not just modify
m8xx_setup.c::m8xx_get_rtc_time/m8xx_set_rtc_time to allow for the
get/set routines there to be overriden ? Doing that would be nice and
clean, and also allow the 'new' genrtc driver in 2.5 to just work as
well.

Probably a little late, but: see also drivers/macintosh/rtc.c which is
a perfectly generic rtc driver at a perfectly non-generic location.
Don't mix this up with drivers/char/rtc.c, which is the other way
round. Shudder.

Right.  drivers/macintosh/rtc.c is what makes use of
ppc_md.set/get_rtc_time.  Thankfully in 2.5 there's now
drivers/char/genrtc.c, which is generic and has replaced
drivers/macintosh/rtc.c (and uses the same ppc_md hooks, when the driver
is compiled on PPC).

Actually, that's where I got the kernel part of the code I just sent.  :-)
The userland bit I wrote myself.

I've just remembered.  To get this driver to work you have to change a
line in m8xx_setup.c from:

unsigned long __init m8xx_get_rtc_time(void)

to:

unsigned long m8xx_get_rtc_time(void)

I don't understand.  Why do you need to modify these functions?  They
already work!  All I have done is to create a character driver that calls
them (via their pointers ppc_md.set_rtc_time, and ppc_md.get_rtc_time).

The driver registers itself on the standard rtc major and minor numbers
and supports the standard RTC_RD_TIME/RTC_SET_TIME ioctls.

What is genrtc?  (I'm not using 2.5 yet.)

I don't understand what you did at all then (and you sent a binary file,
not rtc.c so I can't really see).  drivers/macintosh/rtc.c is already a
'generic' RTC driver for PPC, which already works on 8xx (and has,
officially since maybe 2.4.18 or 2.4.19, and much longer in the PPC
community trees).  So why did you have to write anything, if you used
the m8xx_set_rtc_time / m8xx_get_rtc_time functions in m8xx_setup.c ?

> What is genrtc?  (I'm not using 2.5 yet.)

It's a generic RTC driver, which lets arch specific (which can then be
board-specific) files determine how to exactly access the RTC hw, since
most things like date checking, some ioctls (except for the hw-specific
parts) are all generic.

Re: 860 rtc problem

[leeyang]

I am sure that I have defined the CONFIG_PPC_RTC in the kernel
(General setup--->Support for /dev/rtc).

In order to track whether m8xx_get_rtc_time/m8xx_set_rtc_time
been called in hwclock I and 2 printk in them as following:

/* The RTC on the MPC8xx is an internal register.
 * We want to protect this during power down, so we need to unlock,
 * modify, and re-lock.
 */
static int
m8xx_set_rtc_time(unsigned long time)
{
 printk("enter set rtc\n");
 ((volatile immap_t *)IMAP_ADDR)->im_sitk.sitk_rtck = KAPWR_KEY;
 ((volatile immap_t *)IMAP_ADDR)->im_sit.sit_rtc = time;
 ((volatile immap_t *)IMAP_ADDR)->im_sitk.sitk_rtck = ~KAPWR_KEY;
 return(0);
}

static unsigned long
m8xx_get_rtc_time(void)
{
 /* Get time from the RTC. */
 printk("enter get rtc\n");
 return((unsigned long)(((immap_t *)IMAP_ADDR)->im_sit.sit_rtc));
}

and when booting the kernel and when using hwclock --show
many "enter get rtc" pop up (about 1000),
so I am sure get function is called.

but when call hwclock -s --date 'Oct 18 2002',it hangs serveral
seconds and return no "enter set rtc' msg.

bash-2.04# hwclock -s --date 'Oct 18 9:00 2002' --debug
hwclock 2.4c/util-linux-2.11f
Using /dev/rtc interface to clock.
Last drift adjustment done at 0 seconds after 1969
Last calibration done at 0 seconds after 1969
Hardware clock is on unknown time
Assuming hardware clock is kept in local time.
Waiting for clock tick...
/dev/rtc does not have interrupt functions. Waiting in loop for time from
/dev/r
tc to change
Timed out waiting for time change.
...got clock tick

So I am not sure the set function works or not?

Re: 860 rtc problem(sloved!!)

[leeyang]

Thanks for all your replys and it had been sloved!

Very shy to say that I type wrong shell command with hwclock.
I used 'hwclock -s --date 'Oct 19 2002' 'before and it is wrong,
I miss an equation mark!!!
It should be 'hwclock -s --date='Oct 19 2002'.
without that mark hwclock think nothing to write and do nothing
so did not really write rtc.

Thx again to your kind fellows:-)
