Rtc

Load the I2C and RTC drivers as root:

modprobe i2c-dev
modprobe i2c:mcp7941x
echo mcp7941x 0x6f > /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-0/device/new_device

To write the system time to the RTC (you might need to run this command twice, when you use the RTC for the first time):

hwclock -w

Read out the RTC, and print the date and time to your console:

hwclock

Read out the RTC, and adjust system time:

hwclock -s

To automatically do this on startup, add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local

modprobe i2c-dev
modprobe i2c:mcp7941x
echo mcp7941x 0x6f > /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-0/device/new_device
hwclock -s
