Hi,
I use /proc/acpi/alarm a lot and tried to learn how to use
/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm. However, I have no /sys/class/rtc/rtc0
until I load the rtc-test driver. I tried all RTC drivers that are
available in 2.6.21, without success:
$ grep RTC /boot/config-2.6.21
CONFIG_RTC=y
# CONFIG_HPET_RTC_IRQ is not set
# CONFIG_SND_RTCTIMER is not set
CONFIG_RTC_LIB=y
CONFIG_RTC_CLASS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS=y
CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE="rtc0"
# CONFIG_RTC_DEBUG is not set
# RTC interfaces
CONFIG_RTC_INTF_SYSFS=y
# CONFIG_RTC_INTF_PROC is not set
CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV=y
# CONFIG_RTC_INTF_DEV_UIE_EMUL is not set
# RTC drivers
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_CMOS=y
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1553=m
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_DS1742=m
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_M48T86=m
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_TEST=m
CONFIG_RTC_DRV_V3020=m
In dmesg, I see these messages from RTC_DRV_CMOS:
rtc_cmos 00:09: rtc core: registered rtc_cmos as rtc0
rtc_cmos: probe of 00:09 failed with error -16
drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)
So all I can do is to continue to use /proc/acpi/alarm.
Regards,
Tino
