The CryptoCape, a collaboration between SparkFun and myself, is now available for purchase at SparkFun Electronics [1]. In short, the cape adds some hardware crypto chips, a RTC with battery, and an ATmega328p which is designed to be flashed from the Beagle. It will be officially announced on the "new products Friday" post tomorrow, but I think this group deserved an early announcement.

Thanks to BeagleBoard.org for making a great platform and special thanks to Robert Nelson for backporting the TPM driver to 3.8.

This community is awesome; I've learned so much by following this list. Thanks to everyone who shares their time and knowledge.

There's only 1 left :)

Happy Hacking!

How is the RTC implemented at the software level? More to the point perhaps, how early in the boot process does the system time get set from (presumably) rtc1?

About a month or so ago I setup a battery backed RTC, along with a fairly current systemd. Systemd have chosen to rewrite hwclock and last I looked it still only honored/used rtc0. Perhaps I didn't explain the situation good enough on the systemd mailing list, but I couldn't seem to get past anyone not understanding why a board wouldn't have a battery backed RTC on board. Having said all that I did get it working just using init.d scripts. Just seems like such an ugly hack when the whole point of systemd is to essential do away with all the scripts.

The board looks like something very interesting to explore. I'm sure one will find its' way here when cash flow permits.
