'hwclock' not working? (ASU)

2008-07-26 Thread Torfinn Ingolfsen
Hello,

I'm running ASU on my FR.

It seems that something is broken or missing for the 'hwclock' command to work:

quick fix is to run
mkdir /dev/misc
ln -s /dev/rtc /dev/misc/rtc

I ran into the same issue.  After running the above link, I also had to
stop the atd daemon which had /dev/rtc0 open:

# opkg install lsof
# lsof | grep rtc
atd   1334   root3r   CHR  254,0
1304 /dev/rtc0
# /etc/init.d/atd stop
# /etc/init.d/atd stop
Stopping at daemon: atd.
# hwclock --systohc
# /etc/init.d/atd start
Starting at daemon: atd.

...cj

We run atd on the ASU image on purpose. It allows to schedule any kind of 
alarms and will program the RTC for wakeup automatically. If you want atd to 
write the current time into the rtc then you have to write "W\n" 
into /var/spool/at/trigger.

But on the other hand we provide a GUI application to set the Timezone and the 
Time and they work :)

Well...I was baffled by setting the time from this.  I modified the
hour, clicked "Back" and it skipped forward several hours.  Went back
and forth trying to figure out what I was missing.  

I suspect it was because I had changed the Timezone but not rebooted yet
so I was in the limbo of /etc/localtime saying EDT, but date still
reporting UTC.  It now seems to work correctly, but this might need to
be looked at.  Next time I reflash, I'll try it again and see if I can't
better figure out the issue.

Like this:
 echo "W\n" > /var/spool/at/trigger

Or is th '\n' not needed in that case?

I have already updated the wiki, and will fix the command example if needed.

As someone else in this thread mentioned, there are issues with that
application. When I tried to use it, it looked like it couldn't set
the time correctly - I set correct timezone and input local time, but
fter setting time, it was at utc instead of local time.
And sometimes the years changed in odd ways.
