Real-time clock (RTC)

1.
Clear WUTE in RTC_CR to disable the wakeup timer.
2. Poll WUTWF until it is set in RTC_ISR to make sure the access to wakeup auto-reload
counter and to WUCKSEL[2:0] bits is allowed. It takes around 2 RTCCLK clock cycles
(due to clock synchronization).
3. Program the wakeup auto-reload value WUT[15:0], and the wakeup clock selection
(WUCKSEL[2:0] bits in RTC_CR). Set WUTE in RTC_CR to enable the timer again.
The wakeup timer restarts down-counting. The WUTWF bit is cleared up to 2 RTCCLK
clock cycles after WUTE is cleared, due to clock synchronization.
38.3.8 Reading
the
calendar
When BYPSHAD control bit is cleared in the RTC_CR register
To read the RTC calendar registers (RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR) properly, the APB
clock frequency (f
PCLK
) must be equal to or greater than seven times the RTC clock
frequency (f
RTCCLK
). This ensures a secure behavior of the synchronization mechanism.
If the APB clock frequency is less than seven times the RTC clock frequency, the software
must read the calendar time and date registers twice. If the second read of the RTC_TR
gives the same result as the first read, this ensures that the data is correct. Otherwise a third
read access must be done. In any case the APB clock frequency must never be lower than
the RTC clock frequency.
The RSF bit is set in RTC_ISR register each time the calendar registers are copied into the
RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR shadow registers. The copy is performed every two
RTCCLK cycles. To ensure consistency between the 3 values, reading either RTC_SSR or
RTC_TR locks the values in the higher-order calendar shadow registers until RTC_DR is
read. In case the software makes read accesses to the calendar in a time interval smaller
than 2 RTCCLK periods: RSF must be cleared by software after the first calendar read, and
then the software must wait until RSF is set before reading again the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR
and RTC_DR registers.
After waking up from low-power mode (Stop or Standby), RSF must be cleared by software.
The software must then wait until it is set again before reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and
RTC_DR registers.
The RSF bit must be cleared after wakeup and not before entering low-power mode.
After a system reset, the software must wait until RSF is set before reading the RTC_SSR,
RTC_TR and RTC_DR registers. Indeed, a system reset resets the shadow registers to
their default values.
After an initialization (refer to
Calendar initialization and configuration on page 1194
software must wait until RSF is set before reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR
registers.
After synchronization (refer to
Section 38.3.10: RTC synchronization
): the software must
wait until RSF is set before reading the RTC_SSR, RTC_TR and RTC_DR registers.
When the BYPSHAD control bit is set in the RTC_CR register (bypass shadow
registers)
Reading the calendar registers gives the values from the calendar counters directly, thus
eliminating the need to wait for the RSF bit to be set. This is especially useful after exiting
