The most likely explanation is that OFW had to power off in order to
re-enable writing to the SPI FLASH. That can happen if the last
reboot was from Linux. See <a
href="http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/4397">http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/4397</a><br>
<br>
Unless that bug is fixed, the process will be:<br>
<br>
a) Linux reboots<br>
b) OFW runs rtc-rollback? and tries to write the new timestamp SPI
FLASH<br>
c) OFW is unable to perform the write because SPI FLASH is locked<br>
d) OFW reboots, using the EC command that unlocks SPI FLASH<br>
e) OFW runs rtc-rollback? and sucessfully writes the new timestamp'<br>
<br>
The net result is that reboots will take slightly longer when
anti-rollback is enabled.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm trying to test the RTCAR including on OFW Q2E46 by
following the steps indicated in <a moz-do-not-send="true"

target="_blank">http://wiki.laptop.org/go/RTC_Anti-rollback#Testing_Rollback_Detection</a>.<br>
<br>
I added the "rt" tag, but when I run command<br>
<pre>ok rtc-rollback? .

Is it a normal behaviour?</font>
