yes, I am using your NXP evaluation board.
I did some other tests with LF_v6.6.3-1.0.0_images_IMX8MPEVK, and I see that hwclock mantains time & date only if I don't turn off PWR switch.
I suppose that there is a built-in RTC, but it is without battery. Is it right?
If it is, there is a way to connect a battery ?
