UART Login

The Raspberry Pi 5 features a dedicated UART connector for debugging, supporting a maximum baud rate of 921,600bps. It is configurable via EEPROM parameters, active at all times, and enables direct access to early boot and firmware information, as well as the Linux console after booting.

The UART connector has three pins. View UART Connector

 

RTC (Real-time Clock)

• Official documentation link

 

Hardware

The RTC is powered by adding a backup battery using the J5 (BAT) connector. It works without a connection as long as the PI5 is powered on.

 

Software Debug

• The default device is /dev/rtc0.
• For time, type "date" in the command line. The RTC time updates after automatic network timing if the default RTC device is connected and working.

 

Hwclock Commands

• sudo hwclock -w: System clock -> hardware clock (RTC)
• sudo hwclock -s: Synchronize hardware clock (RTC) -> system clock
• sudo hwclock --set --date="9/8/2023 16:45:05": Set hardware clock time (RTC)
• sudo hwclock -r: View the hardware clock (RTC)
• sudo hwclock --verbose: Display version information
