DS3231 RTC hwclock ssh cmd error message

1st Official Post

    I have the following LibreELEC setup:

    Hardware: RaspberryPi2

    LibreELEC build version: 7.0.0, kernel: Linux ARM 32-bit version 4.4.7

    I am having trouble setting the RTC in ssh. Getting the error message (hwclock: can't open '/dev/misc/rtc': No such file or directory)

    I have done a clean install on different SD card and added the line to my config.txt.

    Code
    dtoverlay=i2c-rtc,ds3231

    I was using OpenElec version: 6.0-retroplayer-20160304094500-r21909-gc5fa697 and it works great there. Tryed copying working config.txt from Openelec and still no go.

    I also tryed to add the line

    Code
    dtparam=i2c_arm=on


    or the line

    Code
    dtparam=i2c=on


    and its still not working.

    I have uploaded the following files to a pastebin site:

    Please help, my RaspberryPi PVR media centre is not connected to the internet.

    Thanks in advance.

    Seems that the kernel config option isn't enabled.

    Yes it's working, but doesn't keep the right time for some reason. Like right now it says Sun Apr 23. I have Internet access right now so I'm using the net time, but that's ends in 2 months so I need to figure out why the Rtc isnt keeping time.
