The end of my output is as follows: > --Hardware clock is on local time Assuming hardware clock is kept in local time. Waiting for clock tick... ...got clock tick Time read from Hardware Clock: 2007/12/27 08:00:14 Hw clock time : 2007/12/27 08:00:14 = 1198764014 seconds since 1969 Thu 27 Dec 2007 08:00:14 AM CST -0.605349 seconds I would then look at the characteristics of /dev/rtc for the answer.
