Redpitaya Forum

Has anyone been able to implement a real time clock (RTC) with the Red Pitaya via i2c or some other means? I would be very interested in learning how to do this.

I think that the instructions from the following link should work for the Red Pitaya boards:

However, you'll most probably have to enable the RTC modules and rebuild the Linux kernel.

I managed to do it with the ds3231. I have to find the SD card with the code... But the clock information was not "visible" to the linux kernel - only within my application.

I am looking to use a ds3231 RTC as well. Any advice on how you got it to work?

I'm rewriting code from scratch. I created wrappers around i2c interface to use arduino code with minimum effort. As I prefer object oriented programming I use c++ instead of c.
