0.57.0 is out.
The ESP32-P4 forgets the time when it loses power. Until it reached an NTP server or a browser signed in, it did not know the date, and file names on the card and two-factor codes need it. Now a small clock module on the capture board's I2C bus keeps it. On the Function EV and the Waveshare boards with a 40-pin header, a "DS3231 for Pi" module plugs straight onto pins 1-9.

If you have a PCF8563, PCF85063 or PCF8523 module, or the M5Stack Unit RTC, I would like to hear whether it works. Those drivers are written from the datasheets, and one log line from a real board would move them to the tested list.
