-Description
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-This module aims to provide complete access to the Xicor X1205 RTC.
|
|
|
-Recently Xicor has merged with Intersil, but the chip is
|
|
|
-still sold under the Xicor brand.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-This chip is located at address 0x6f and uses a 2-byte register addressing.
|
|
|
-Two bytes need to be written to read a single register, while most
|
|
|
-other chips just require one and take the second one as the data
|
|
|
-to be written. To prevent corrupting unknown chips, the user must
|
|
|
-explicitely set the probe parameter.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-example:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-modprobe x1205 probe=0,0x6f
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The module supports one more option, hctosys, which is used to set the
|
|
|
-software clock from the x1205. On systems where the x1205 is the
|
|
|
-only hardware rtc, this parameter could be used to achieve a correct
|
|
|
-date/time earlier in the system boot sequence.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-example:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-modprobe x1205 probe=0,0x6f hctosys=1
