The rtc will keep the correct value until q7 goes into suspension again. Then a script "90clock" in the same dir will update the realtime clock (rtc).

I don't know about python script and how the system clock utilizes the cpu frequency. So, this is the most I can do. Anyone with the knowledge should take a look at the script to verify and find way to correct the clock. Please.
I wish I could help but I'm just a Linux newbie.

The same script appears in the same place on the Q5.

The Q5 does an even worse job of keeping time.

After a reboot/shutdown, it always reports a date of January 2, 1904 under the latest firmware.

I can reset the date and time with Sync but it's still irritating.

Any suggestions for this Q5 clock issue?
