RTC drift in PPC

2007-05-10 Thread pjmaiya
hi, We are running RTC on mpc860 board with external crystal. During boot we get date and time from h/w RTC chip and then it runs pn software tick, which is handled by kernel. We are getting 4 minutes drift for 21 hours. Can any one suggest, how to reduce the drift. thnax in advance, pjmaiya_
