Real Time Clock Control
The cpuModule is equipped with a Real Time Clock (RTC) which provides system date and time
functions, and also provides 128 non-volatile memory locations. The contents of these memory lo-
cations are retained whenever an external backup battery is connected, whether or not system power
is connected.
You may access the RTC date, time, and memory using an index and data register at I/O addresses
70h and 71h. Address 70h is the Index register. It must be written with the number of the register to
read or write. Refer to the map below for valid choices for the index. Data is then written to or read
from the selected register by writing or reading (respectively) the data register at address 71h.
Registers of the Real Time Clock are shown below:.
Do
not
change values stored in the RTC registers listed as
RESERVED in the table below. Doing so will interfere
with proper cpuModule operation.
