ds1307 and RPi: Not setting correct time on boot

[katesfb]

Hi,
I have a rasp pi running a DS1307 breakout board as the RTC and followed the instructions in the "adding a real time clock to raspberry pi" tutorial. Every thing works fine except that the correct time is not being set on reboot. I have to use "sudo hwclock -s" to set the correct time from that stored in teh DS1307 and this works fine.

I have added the correct entries to /etc/modules and etc/rc.local as indicated in the tutorial (rtc-1307 added to the end of /etc/modules and echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/new_device added before exit in rc.local) but should hwclock -s be there as well to actually set the time?

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers.

Hi,
And thanks for the reply. I added the line "hwclock -s" to /etc/rc.local after "echo ds1307 0x68 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/new_device" but this had no effect on reboot - still had to use hwclock -s manually to set the correct time.

Any ideas?

No idea :/ we'll try to check this out next time we look at the tutorial.
