I'm having similar trouble with the real-time-clock as some other posts
but the suggestions there did not fix the problem. I did indeed order
the 7800 with the RTC option. I'm guessing its the black component
labeled 23676 on the board. I see no battery and thus assume its inside
that box. I also downloaded the updated rtc7800 utility and used that
version ( md5 sig: 9f8c7d100956fc649d5acfe6653ccff3 )
Symptoms:
- rtc7800 (with or without -s option) returns with Register A was: 20
- hwclock --show returns The Hardware
Clock registers contain values that are either invalid (e.g. 50th day
of month) or beyond the range we can handle (e.g. Year 2095).
- The above happens even after ==># rtc7800 -s -- Seems like
rtc7800 has no effect...ever
- ntpdate ntp.server.wherever
works and sets time properly (tzselect works as well)
- a subsequent call to ntpdate after 1 minute shows a correction of
about 2 seconds. Yes, 2 s for every minute of wall clock time.
- hwclock --systohc seems to
have no effect -- same as rtc7800
- Contents of /etc/adjtime (if its useful);-0.152558 1200190483
0.000000
1200190483
UTC
- old /usr/local/bin/rtc7800
(has md5sum: c3ca375b3c8d7c852fd99fcd16b97bfb -- sarge install) behaves
ame as the new one
It behaves as if there is no RTC on board. However, the utility does not
complain of "no RTC found", seems it finds it OK (see Reg A retval).
Its almost as if the RTC is just plain broken.
Anyone have any similar experiences with the RTC on 7800 or can point
me to something I may have missed?
Thanks,
John
