Hi

Just experimenting with my new TE720. Noted two things when it boots from its internal Petalinux 2015.4 OS

MDIO - is this normal startup ?

RTC
seems to clear RTC every reboot. Is that expected ?
rtc-isl12022 1-006f: setting system clock to 2000-01-01 00:00:00 UTC (946684800)


Thanks in advance

MDIO, this is "linux issue" :( depending on linux kernel version those messages appear. The PHY address 0 is treated as invalid, this is not an fatal error, it only causes extra printout during bootup.

RTC if the battery voltage is not supplied then the RTC is started again always.
