IMX6 V7.90.010 Question about RTC

  • On boot, I see in dmesg

    [ 2.315278] rtc-pcf8523 2-0068: setting system clock to 2017-02-11 17:26:36 UTC (1486833996)

    So the HW clock is working fine, however about a minute later in journalctl

    Feb 11 17:27:32 IMX6 crond[466]: time disparity of 24780553 minutes detected

    24780553 minutes = ~47 years so it's detected 1970 (more than likely 01 01 1970).

    So if the system clock was set at 17:26:36 how come at 17:27:32 it found a major difference. I thought it might be because of /etc/adjtime but that does not exist.

    Everything is fine after that, just curious what might be causing it. Could it just be a timing issue on ntp?
