I checked and a RTC is optional on the TS-7800 (e.g. you have to buy it extra) Check you original invoice and see if you have one installed From: osogoet <> To: Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 10:24 AM Subject: [ts-7000] Re: TS-7800, Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. I downloaded 7800_avr_reflash.tar.gz, and following the README, execute ./refresh script. However, kernel 2.6.34 could still not find the RTC. I got the file system of 2.6.34 somewhere. It was only a few months ago, but I can't remember where I got the image from, or what did I do to setup micorSD. Well, should I make/compile the 2.6.34 kernel from sources? But, I am not so smart to do so. So, I would like to reflash the AVR on 7800 with the older image, unless the bug in the older AVR image is serious. Would you supply the older 7800_avr flash image?
