In article http://learn.adafruit.com/adding-a-real ... spberry-pi say what RTC module supported only iOccidentalis v0.2 or greater. Which libs need to be added in RaspBMC and how to import it to get working RTC?
Thanks

Some of the more recent versions of Wheezy have RTC support, but that wasn't the case when the tutorial was written. People use so many different Linux distros on the RasPi that it was easier for us to limit discussion to the ones we maintain.

This Instructable has an explanation of how to enable RTC support for a recent version of Wheezy: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to- ... he-kernal/
