@vader module loading is currently broken in our latest images by default, so the driver for the rtc is not actually loaded during boot.

Please run depmod -a as root, then reboot and retry.

We will try to fix this loading problem soon™.

We have pushed an update to lx2160a_build that should fix the module loading, so images dated June 8. 2022 and newer should work out of the box.
