To get back to this thread, it seems that editing the default *HCTOSYS_DEVICE *field in /etc/default/hwclock won't work in my situation. I'm assuming because the RTC1 (DS3231) is loaded via a script when Debian boots the hwclock has already loaded and defaulted to RTC0 because RTC1 is yet to be loaded.
This isn't really too much on an issue though. Using Adafruit's guide for creating a script <https://learn.adafruit.com/adding-a-real-time-clock-to-beaglebone-black/set-rtc-time>to load the RTC (DS3231) I am able to set the system time and default hwclock RTC0 on bootup. Likewise I have made a similar script that runs when Debain shuts down, reboots and halts to set the DS3231 RTC to the system time. This allows the system to sync with an NTP server if available and update the external RTC. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
