This enables onboard 32768Hz crystal oscillator available on Heltec Vision Master E213,
makes on-chip RTC less drifty and more reliable.

while it may not the best compared to a dedicated RTC module,
but still better than relying on drifty internal LC osc.

Exisistence of the crystal has been confirmed both on Heltec's page and schematics (https://heltec.org/project/vision-master-e213/) and on actual board itself.

Confirmed working on my own E213 board: RTC is working as excpected.

🤝 Attestations

  • I have tested that my proposed changes behave as described.
  • I have tested that my proposed changes do not cause any obvious regressions on the following devices:
    • Heltec (Lora32) V3
    • LilyGo T-Deck
    • LilyGo T-Beam
    • RAK WisBlock 4631
    • Seeed Studio T-1000E tracker card
    • Other (please specify below)
      • Heltec Vision Master E213

As a sidenote, the Heltec Vision Master E290 which is similar to this, has no 32kHz crystal,
so we can't get better clock on E290, unfortunately.
while i'm trying to utlize better internal OSC that's available on ESP32 families: 8MD256, but it's still in progress...

hope this small change will make E213 users' Meshtastic life little bit better!
