The following units can generate events in the log: Application software running on CB71C The event time stamp is derived from the BMC’s operation time counter. The length of power cuts is not visible in the event log.
CRTC (Chipset Real-Time Clock) is the real-time clock of the processor. The CB71C supports a 3 V back-up voltage input using J1 pin VCC_RTC (J1-A47) and 5 V inputs on standby voltage pins VCC_5V_SBY (J1-B84-87). This allows to back up the RTC by a supercapacitor or battery installed on the carrier for data retention during power off.
