I've got a curious situation. I can run hwclock -w on the beagle while running
a 2.6.31 kernel, and it appears to succeed, but the time on the hardware clock
does not change. I've run hwclock through strace, and the ioctl to set the
time is returning zero == success, but when I then query the clock again, the
time has not changed.
I'm running jaunty, installed following elinux.org/BeagleBoardUbuntu.
The really strange thing is that the same executable, from the same rootfs
*does* work (change the rtc time) if I boot from a 2.6.29 kernel.
I looked through the kernel driver, and the rtc_twl4030 module has not changed
significantly since the 2.6.29 release.
Has anyone else experienced this? Had any luck getting it to work?
Cameron.
Hi Cameron,
Seems to be working for me..

Regards,
I'm not getting some of those messages in dmesg. I'm using the same kernel
(from your bazaar repository). Could you please mail your config?
Cameron.
Okay, it's working for me now. I had to disable OMAP_MUX in the kernel
build, and it started working.
Don't know if this is a bug, or I just didn't setup muxing properly.
Cameron.
