Time and date resetting- new code
schonb25:
There is no battery on the Beaglebone. It's on the board the Beaglebone plugs into that has the battery-backed RTC. It's not clear to me how long before shipping of the machines those boards were populated with the battery and sat and how finicky the system is with a battery that drops below a certain voltage threshold. It's something to monitor over time.
FWIW, most of the Beaglebones in the world have an internet connection as set their clocks via NTP. The battery is just a way to hold and run the RTC and NTP is usually there to reset it.

Quick question, I am experiencing the reset and also was instructed to replace the CR2032 battery. Is this done while the game is powered up or not? I would rather not lose my settings and high scores so I assume it should be done powered up. Is there any reason why I should not do it that way?
schonb25:
My advice is to have the machine powered off. If you drop the battery or anything else while the machine is on, you could be a lot more unhappy with shorting a board out, than if scores were reset. I do not expect it to reset your scores, but I have not done the battery swap yet.

I changed my battery with the game off. Didn't lose settings or scores, I think the battery is just for the RTC
PPS:
let us know how things go ... how long does it take usually for the problem to occur? hours, days, weeks?
