Abstract
A system with real time clock continuity is disclosed. The system includes a remote access controller configured to interoperate with a main processor and at least one second system component. The main processor is configured to receive a control from the remote access controller and to initiate a reboot after determining that a time and a tick count are stored in a memory device. The second system component is configured to store the time and the tick count in the memory device. A boot loader of the system is configured to use the time and the tick count to maintain a real time clock during the reboot of the main processor.
