I have been using my X86 for a while now..I have previously used rtc, for rtcwake. the RTC is no longer seen by ubuntu :/ I cant for the life of me figure out what changed. Code: sean@TreeCam1:/$ timedatectl Local time: Thu 2018-01-25 15:34:25 PST Universal time: Thu 2018-01-25 23:34:25 UTC RTC time: n/a Time zone: America/Los_Angeles (PST, -0800) Network time on: yes NTP synchronized: yes RTC in local TZ: no Code: sean@TreeCam1:/$ sudo hwclock --debug hwclock from util-linux 2.27.1 hwclock: cannot open /dev/rtc: No such file or directory No usable clock interface found. hwclock: Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method. could the battery have died to produce this error? EDIT: its not the battery, just took out my other(brand new) x86 and replaced the battery form that with no success. Just for giggles, I tried the same commands as above on the new machine and got the expected results
You are not the only one if you have updated from Ubuntu 17.04 to 17.10. http://serve.3ezy.com/askubuntu.com/q/971349
Code: lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS Release: 16.04 Codename: xenial unfortunately not.. 16.04 LTS
UPDATE! FIXED! here's how I did it.. apparently it was a kernel error. So using ukuu I changed my kernel version to 4.10.0 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ukuu sudo ukuu-gtk choose 4.10.0 from the list of kernels and install it.. ukuu will take care of grub and everything for you. sudo reboot Hold shift to enter grub, select Advance Setting and boot into the correct kernel 4.10.0 and it WORKS! at this point I used ukuu to purge the other kernel from the system.
We are running into this issue to with both Ubuntu 16.04.5 and 18.04.1. Neither allow access to the RTC from the operating system. We purchased around 80 of the x86 advanced boards and have found that about half do not have the RTC preset from the factory. This causes the board to be very slow to boot up and reaching the bios configuration menus. Once the time is set in bios, it seems to boot quickly. We receive the same messages as the original post

Any update on this? I noticed that firmware 1.06 has been released, are there any release notes for this version?
