Interesting - in my case, the solidsense has been powered on for months
(it's my internet router on the boat).

I've rebooted it again today, and this time it seems to have been
successful, and is using the time from it.

For me, after the last reboot, they contain:
0x80
0x00
0x08

I think the real question is where is the EAGAIN coming from and
why.
