hwclock:Could not access RTC error
 

Hello,
I am running Linux version 2.6.22.6 on an IMX27 and have connected an external RTC chip isl1208. I recompiled with the built in driver and put it on my unit. When i restart the unit, i see :

isl1208 0-006f: chip found, driver version 0.2
isl1208 0-006f: rtc core: registered isl1208 as rtc0
mxc_rtc mxc_rtc.0: rtc core: registered mxc_rtc as rtc1
No external RTC clock
Real TIme clock Driver v1.0
mxc_rtc: probe of mxc_rtc.0 failed with error -2

Any ideas what is doing on? I do have the chip connected over the i2c.
Thanks

I should say it is wired up over the I2C.

I also looked at the log again and found this....

isl1208 0-006f: hctosys: invalid date/time

If i try the hwclock command I get this.....

hwclock -w
hwclock: Could not access RTC: No such file or directory

i found out that i was initializing two rtcs. I removed the mxc one but still can't talk to the isl1208. I get the invalid date/time still and when i try to set it with hw clock it says
hwclock: Could not access RTC: No such file or directory

I was using an old version of busybox.
I upgraded to busybox-1.17.3 and now if i do a ./busybox-1.17.3 hwclock it works.
