Jetson Nx xavier rtc is not updating time with ubuntu 20.04

[malakondareddy]

Hi all,
We have developed a custom carrier board designed specifically for the Jetson Xavier NX to suit our application. The board operated flawlessly with Ubuntu 18.04. However, after upgrading to Ubuntu 20.04, we’ve encountered an issue where the system time resets with each reboot.
Our carrier board includes a CR1225 coin cell battery to maintain voltage for the Jetson Xavier NX during power-off conditions. I have attached the schematic for your reference.

Thanks in advance for supporting

Hi @malakondareddy,

Please refer to discussion in the topic and give it a try:

Orin AGX DevKit RTC problems

I have a problem with the RTC on our Orin AGX DevKit. Each time I start the DevKit for the first time of the day, the time is reset to 1970-01-01. When I set the correct time with “timedatectl set-time” and reboot the system, the time is still correct. However, the next day, the time is reset to 1970-01-01. It seems like the capacitor of the RTC discharges too quickly. Can anyone help me with that problem?

Thanks for reply,
I have tried the above link procedure but still it is not updating the time.
Initially the output of " zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE " is

CONFIG_RTC_HCTOSYS_DEVICE=“rtc1”
Then we changed rtc1 to rtc0 by building kernal.
However that did not help us.

Please let me know the further steps. Is it possible to join live chat or virtual meeting for easy communication ?

Board : Own carried board (RTC schematic similar to dev kit )
module : Jeston NX xavier.
