Hello,

I observed that my nanopi neo air date and time is always up-to-date. There is no NTP on my system and I cannot see any RTC in hardware specs found on the web (except that friendlyarm sold an external RTC module for i2c).

In dmesg of linux 4.11.2:

I can't find a battery on the PCB, I may have missed something. Could someone confirm ?

Regards.

Hi.
There is a RTC , in /dev/rtc0 , but not initialized and seems to works with 40KHz oscillator approximately!
it`s amazing that friendly arm does not apply the internal RTC and assume that IOT means every time connected
to the internet!

the kernel time is updated by timedatectl . you can disable it and install ntp.

regards.

Thanks for the info.

The date and time is always correct on my nanopi neo air, consequently I'm figuring the hw setup is correct.
