So the hardware RTC with battery changes have been abandoned eh?
Basically then all I need to do is solder on a battery to the Rock64 board.
I have done similar here with my tabletop touchscreens.
or maybe just purchase a
PiFace RTC which I have done for my RPi's over the years such that no soldering is needed.
I am also looking at making the Rock64 a micro firewall adding second NIC to it.
I am currently doing this with a tiny OpenWRT router inside of an alarm panel for out of band management and a VPN server inside of the home network that is using PFSense with multiple interfaces and VLANs.
The ROCK64 board with RTC battery connector is not abandon. Check out the FOSDEM PINE64 table stand photo and you may able to spot this board.
This is just a minor change and we will revise board revision during production run sometimes on Q2 2018 timeframe.
