Jay, If by "updating" you mean your overlay isn't loading at boot. That would be because the overlay is not in the initramfs. Which is needed for the latest images. I actually posted on the groups about this a few days go, so I'll find my post and copy paste the procedure here. If this is not

If you load overlays that are already included in your image, then you do not have to update the initramfs. But if you create your own custom overlay, it will not be included in the initramfs. On Thu, Dec 15, 2016 at 4:10 PM, Phil wrote: > Thanks for the info. I am not so

There's also a software package known as fake hwclock. It's not a real time clock, and perhaps it'll even lose time over long periods. But it seems to do a reasonable job of keeping time on a system close. We actually use DS3232 on those devices that *need* to keep accurate time. On Thu, Dec
