MPC8245 and PCF8563 RTC

[Matthew S. McClintock]

Has anyone had any success using an MPC8245 and a Philips PCF8563 real
time clock in linux? Everything works in U-Boot but I can not get
everything working in linux.

I am using the MPC8245 I2C drivers from:
http://www.humboldt.co.uk/mpc10xi2c.html
and I am using the PCF8563 drivers from the CVS DENX Linux kernel.

I know I2C works in linux because the two LM75 temperature sensors on
the board work. However the PCF8563 driver does not work. I have
debugging turned on for both the i2c-adap-mpc10x and pcf8563 kernel
modules and I get output that looks like this:

rtc_rd(): i2c transfer error
i2c-adap-mpc10x.c: Doing write 1 bytes to 0x51 - 1 of 2 messages
i2c-adap-mpc10x.c: Doing read 1 bytes to 0x51 - 2 of 2 messages

rtc_rd(): i2c transfer error

Obviously it has a transfer error, but I am curious if anyone has any
experiences with the same situation. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Matthew
