[ts-7000] Re:TS7250 ..RTC

[Martin Robinson <>]

Hi.

You are asking for how to access the RTC.  This should not be 
necessary.  There is a program, compiled as part of busybox, called 
hwclock.  This can set the system time from the RTC, and vice versa.

You can download a copy of busybox from HERE <http://www.busybox.net> to 
read the source for hwclock.

When the system boots, it should set the system time from the RTC 
automatically.

Here is the usage info for hwclock:

hwclock [-r|--show] [-s|--hctosys] [-w|--systohc] [-l|--localtime] 
[-u|--utc]


So if it is incorrect, you can set the time using 'date' then 'hwclock 
-w' to write the system time to the RTC.  In my experience the RTC is 
not very accurate.
