[Gumstix-users] Verdex RTC

[Pat W. <okh...@gm...>]

All,
Would it be safe to assume that the Verdex has a real time clock onboard,
but
as with the Connex and Basix boards, there is no battery back up for it?
So..as with the other boards, turn it off and the date resets back to the
epoch?

This leads me to wonder, if using a Verdex board and a breakout-vx together,
since the breakout-vx has a battery connector, could that be used as a
battery
for the real time clock or is it only (I would assume) for battery power for
the
system itself?

Just wondering if I would still need to use an external ds1307 RTC from
sparkfun.com
if I migrated to the Verdex platform.

Thanks..
