How do I set the date for my Zippy board (Zippy Rev-A) real time clock? It seems to have trouble getting the correct date:

[ 649.412048] rtc-ds1307 2-0068: setting system clock to 2010-01-31 05:42:44 UTC (1264916564)

(Today is February 15, approximately 1145 EST.)

Thanks

Hi Bob,

I haven't tried it myself with Zippy, but in case of correct SW
configuration you can normally set the RTC by using the hwclock Linux
command. More info to be found by doing a "man hwclock" and "man date"...

In case of no RTC backed up time the date/time begins running from when the
kernel was build...

Best regards - Good luck
