AT91SAM9260 (Rev. B) and RTT in Linux as RTC ? - "manuel.sahm" - Jun 16 8:39:14 2008
Hello,
what should I have to do, to use the RTT of the At91SAM9260 as a
buffered RTC ?
If I set the date with "date 061611342008" the time is reseted after
reboot !!!!
Thank you very much

Did you look into the driver-source ? It should tell you what happens.

Hi!
It's kind of hard to answer this question without a little more context.
When you say "After a restart" are you talking about doing a "shutdown
-r now" kind of command, or a power-cycle? If you're cycling the
power, what's your backup supply, and where's it going to?
If the time gets reset on a soft restart, such as a "shutdown"
command, you need to look at both the low-level hardware
initialization, as well as the higher-level system init (either
inittab or the init.d or rc.d stuff depending on how your particular
kernel handles initialization).
