Overview

The MCUXpresso SDK provides a driver for the Real Time Clock (RTC).

Function groups

The RTC driver supports operating the module as a time counter.

Initialization and deinitialization

The function RTC_Init() initializes the RTC with specified configurations. The function RTC_GetDefaultConfig() gets the default configurations.

The function RTC_Deinit() disables the RTC timer and disables the module clock.

Set & Get Datetime

The function RTC_SetDatetime() sets the timer period in seconds. User passes in the details in date & time format by using the below data structure.

Refer to the driver examples codes located at <SDK_ROOT>/boards/<BOARD>/driver_examples/rtc The function RTC_GetDatetime() reads the current timer value in seconds, converts it to date & time format and stores it into a datetime structure passed in by the user.

Set & Get Alarm

The function RTC_SetAlarm() sets the alarm time period in seconds. User passes in the details in date & time format by using the datetime data structure.

The function RTC_GetAlarm() reads the alarm time in seconds, converts it to date & time format and stores it into a datetime structure passed in by the user.

Start & Stop timer

The function RTC_StartTimer() starts the RTC time counter.

The function RTC_StopTimer() stops the RTC time counter.

Status

Provides functions to get and clear the RTC status.

Interrupt

Provides functions to enable/disable RTC interrupts and get current enabled interrupts.

High resolution timer

Provides functions to enable high resolution timer and set and get the wake time.

Typical use case

RTC tick example

Example to set the RTC current time and trigger an alarm. Refer to the driver examples codes located at <SDK_ROOT>/boards/<BOARD>/driver_examples/rtc

Function Documentation

void RTC_Init ( RTC_Type * base )

Note: This API should be called at the beginning of the application using the RTC driver.

Parameters

base	RTC peripheral base address

static void RTC_Deinit ( RTC_Type * base )

inlinestatic

Parameters

base	RTC peripheral base address

status_t RTC_SetDatetime	(	RTC_Type *	base,
		const rtc_datetime_t *	datetime
	)

The RTC counter must be stopped prior to calling this function as writes to the RTC seconds register will fail if the RTC counter is running.

Parameters

base	RTC peripheral base address
datetime	Pointer to structure where the date and time details to set are stored

Returns: kStatus_Success: Success in setting the time and starting the RTC kStatus_InvalidArgument: Error because the datetime format is incorrect

void RTC_GetDatetime	(	RTC_Type *	base,
		rtc_datetime_t *	datetime
	)

Parameters

base	RTC peripheral base address
datetime	Pointer to structure where the date and time details are stored.

status_t RTC_SetAlarm	(	RTC_Type *	base,
		const rtc_datetime_t *	alarmTime
	)

The function checks whether the specified alarm time is greater than the present time. If not, the function does not set the alarm and returns an error.

Parameters

base	RTC peripheral base address
alarmTime	Pointer to structure where the alarm time is stored.

Returns: kStatus_Success: success in setting the RTC alarm kStatus_InvalidArgument: Error because the alarm datetime format is incorrect kStatus_Fail: Error because the alarm time has already passed

void RTC_GetAlarm	(	RTC_Type *	base,
		rtc_datetime_t *	datetime
	)

Parameters
