You have to change the value passed to mcp7941x parameter.
This usually done by checking the ouput of i2detect -y 1
This way, you don't have to run a script or service at boot to run command like echo <param> <value> > /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-$i/device/new_device
And you don't have to run the calibration command at every boot (i2cset -y 1 0x6f 0x08 0x47) because it will wipe the RTC clock and remove the time stored in it.
This calibration has to be done only once, when you put the battery inside it.
As of 2022, if anyone is reading this, this is what I am running on archlinuxarm for a rpi2.
First of all, you have to enable the load of i2c-dev module automatically by adding it to the
/etc/modules-load.d/raspberrypi.confSecondly, you can configure it in
/boot/config.txtwith:You have to change the value passed to mcp7941x parameter. This usually done by checking the ouput of
