so i don't know if that's the place to reference it

Parduz: I took a brief glance at the kernel code for the rtc, it definitely *is* still checking /aliases in DT

@zmatt: i'm still learning and so struggling a bit understanding what this means for my problem
<zmatt>
just that it *should* be working
<zmatt>
and interestingly.. I just switched my BBB to kernel 5.10.100-ti-r40 and made a small overlay that just renumbers the built-in rtc to be rtc1....
<Parduz>
so (to learn and understand) if failed to find the built in in assigning it to rtc1, and so if failed to "assign" rtc0 to the external one?
<Parduz>
compiled it, i'm copying it and rebooting in a minute

hi folks,is there any open source similator or emulator for beagle bone device if u find any application related to this please share the link
<Parduz>
why flashing an image from microSD to emmc does not copy two files i've added in /usr/bin and also /etc/fstab is not copied?

ok, another question, more general: where's the actual, active ... forum? board? whatever? where i can ask questions to who's maintaining the current BBB images?

Parduz: actually, was there no kernel message about "/aliases ID 0 not available" ?
<zmatt>
since that's what I would expect: /aliases/rtc1 was the wrong path for the built-in rtc, and as a result it was assigned rtc0 by default, and subsequently the kernel couldn't make it rtc0 anymore
<Guest56>
I had tried with instructions which are given in getting started section , but I can't able to retrieve the graphical display
<Parduz>
there's still the 'rtc0 = &extrtc;' line even on new overlays.
<zmatt>
Parduz: same as usual, except this is on i2c1 so they also need to setup the i2c bus and its pins
<zmatt>
yeah, but funny enough that doesn't matter: as long as /aliases/rtc1 is the correct path to the built-in rtc then it becomes rtc1 hence the external one becomes rtc0 by default (even if /aliases/rtc0 is bogus)
<Parduz>
yup. so things were working by chance.
<zmatt>
I wouldn't rely on that enough, dynamically assigned ids are never guaranteed to be stable... without a proper /aliases/rtc0 it's possible that some future kernel would decide to make the external rtc rtc2
<Parduz>
not so great. There's a page were someone put up a rule to symlink /rtc to /rtc1 instead of rtc0, and then a couple of services to do what the kernel still do to rtc0 as it ignores the symlink
<zmatt>
yeah that's not a good solution
<Parduz>
well, you're not always here :D
<Parduz>
shouldn't this bug be notified to R.Nelson or whoever is in charge for the overlays?
<zmatt>
yeah

i doubt my english and my knowledge is good enough for such a task. I could link to our last days of chat but sure i'm not able to explain back the problem :|
<zmatt>
I'm creating an issue
<Parduz>
that's great, thanks
