2 Real Time Clock (RTC) Drivers for Linux
16 Linux has two largely-compatible userspace RTC API families you may
19 * /dev/rtc ... is the RTC provided by PC compatible systems,
23 supported by a wide variety of RTC chips on all systems.
27 RTCs use the same API to make requests in both RTC frameworks (using
29 same functionality. For example, not every RTC is hooked up to an
91 the process of doing this, the kernel briefly turns off RTC periodic

108 New portable "RTC Class" drivers: /dev/rtcN
112 have more than one RTC style clock, it needed a more portable solution
114 Accordingly, a new "RTC Class" framework has been defined. It offers
120 access to some RTC attributes.
122 * /proc/driver/rtc ... the system clock RTC may expose itself
123 using a procfs interface. If there is no RTC for the system clock,
127 The RTC Class framework supports a wide variety of RTCs, ranging from those
133 The new framework also removes the "one RTC per system" restriction. For
134 example, maybe the low-power battery-backed RTC is a discrete I2C chip, but
135 a high functionality RTC is integrated into the SOC. That system might read
136 the system clock from the discrete RTC, but use the integrated one for all
