[U-Boot-Users] RTC on ebony
Hi all
I have been using u-boot for the IBM ebony board (it works very well :)).
The Ebony board has an RTC. However, in my custom board I am planning not to have the RTC. Will this affect u-boot in any way? Basically what I am trying to ask is that, does u-boot use the RTC?
Thanks

Dear Anupam,

Well, check yourself.
What's, for example, the result of "grep RTC include/configs/EBONY.h" ?
So yes, it probably uses the RTC on this board. So for your board configuration you would not #define CONFIG_RTC_DS174x. You will then probably get some errors from the "date" command implementation. You will then probably have to remove the CFG_CMD_DATE definition form your command configuration.
That's all. Isn't it easy?
Best regards,
