[beagleboard] RTC Issues?

GoogleGroups
#1

So I noticed I ordered a BB without the RTC on it. (or at least the battery for it) Can someone push me in the right direction of parts needed / commands needed (if any) to get this working?

Perhaps a link to digikey battery holder? Has someone documented the process of placing this? ETc?

Thanks,

I suggest you look in the System Reference Manual http://beagleboard.org/static/BBSRM_latest.pdf on page 116.

Looks like digi is back ordered a bit. But no matter.
Thanks!

If you know what you are doing, then you can use other batteries as well. Just make sure they are of the same chemistry and are rechargeable.
