orange PI One date problem

ayalshi

hello,
found out a date problem with orange pi one. when ever I power off the device for a few hours then power on, the date keep going back to thu Jan 1 08:00:00 CST 1970.
even if I change the date to 2017 and turn off the device then turn on, It keeps going back to the same date.
is there a fix for this, or this is a hardware non solvable problem?
thanks,
ayal

It is a hardware issue, i think because the board doesn't have RTC and/or built-in battery to preserve the date. Howerver, if you connect the OPi to Internet, the system should automatically set the date when it turns on (NTP).

I have the same problem.

I have ethernet connection which is lost each time i power on my orange pi until i manually reset the date and time.
