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 -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Uboot-RTC-question-tp27471322p27472886.html Sent from the Uboot - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
