Is there a simple way to have linux time up and running with minimum current consumption and good accuracy?
Preferably, some class with get_unix_time and set_unix_time methods, with a resolution of up to seconds.

I guess my question really comes down to this: Does the chip have a built in CMOS timer? If not, then it's pretty clear what needs to be done. Some source of power must be provided.
Hi
The chip has built in clock sources both for the LF clock and the HF clock, but they both require a power supply, and they are not very accurate (5-10% deviation worst case).
In other words there is no way for the chip to track time without a power supply, and there is no way for the chip to accurately track time without an external crystal.
Best regards
