I'm running signalk on a Victron Venus GX, which is a beaglebone board. I'm getting the follwing error in signalk: @signalk/set-system-time:date: unrecognized option '--iso-8601' BusyBox v1.31.1 (2021-12-17 08:58:32 UTC) multi-call binary. Usage: date [OPTIONS] [+FMT] [TIME]

I assume this is due to a slightly different binary in this busybox install.

Apparently setting the time on Venus OS is not as simple as executing date command.

Venus devices have a real time clock and you can set the time from the UI, so there should be much less use for this utility. Do you really need it?
