DS3231 I2C RTC module on Raspberry Pi 4 B

Hardware Single Board Computers

I recently installed a DS3231 I2C RTC module on my Raspberry Pi 4 B.
I was able to get it working with Raspberry Pi OS.

But with IPFire, I’ve looked through various posts discussing this problem but haven’t found a solution.
Has anyone found one?

This hardware is not supported by the linux kernel. (not in 6.12 and also not in 6.18)

IPFire does not support unsigned extra modules so there is no easy way to add the support.

Thanks @arne_f for this reply,

Raspberry Pi OS is running Linux kernel 6.12.47 and this hardware works perfectly.
