Hello guys,
would like to ask if there is a proper possibility on PPC to
set default date (basically the year). The board has no RTC chip,
and I would need instead of 1970 another year.
For some reason does e.g:
--- a/linux/arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c
+++ b/linux/arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c
@@ -1099,7 +1099,7 @@ void __init time_init(void)
#define FEBRUARY 2
-#define STARTOFTIME 1970
+#define STARTOFTIME 2013
#define SECDAY 86400L
#define SECYR (SECDAY * 365)
#define leapyear(year) ((year) % 4 == 0 && \
not work to me. Is there also another place which should be changed?
(I know it can be changed from userspace also, but I would need it before userspace)
Thanks and BR,
Wladislav Wiebe
