I'm using the freebios v1 tree on a geode gx1/cs5530a/w83977 with 2.6.11. I noticed that there appears to be problem with writing to the RTC using hwclock. I seem to be able to use hwclock to set the time but not the date. That is:
# date Wed Mar 30 09:16:11 IST 2005 # hwclock Mon Jan 10 08:56:16 2005 0.000000 seconds # hwclock -w # hwclock Tue Jan 11 09:16:21 2005 0.000000 seconds
I noticed that the date went to Jan 11 while the time was updated correctly. When I switch back to the vendor BIOS, this issue goes away. I'm not yet sure what to suspect. I'll go look at the kernel's rtc code for writing to the CMOS since it would appear that it can set the time but not the date for some reason. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.
Thanks.
