factor. Even if only one of the two fields needs to be changed, 2 separate write
accesses must be performed to the RTC_PRER register.
4. Load the initial time and date values in the shadow registers (RTC_TR and RTC_DR),
and configure the time format (12 or 24 hours) through the FMT bit in the RTC_CR
register.
5. Exit the initialization mode by clearing the INIT bit. The actual calendar counter value is
then automatically loaded and the counting restarts after 4 RTCCLK clock cycles.
When the initialization sequence is complete, the calendar starts counting.
Note: After a system reset, the application can read the INITS flag in the RTC_ISR register to
check if the calendar has been initialized or not. If this flag equals 0, the calendar has not
been initialized since the year field is set at its backup domain reset default value (0x00).
To read the calendar after initialization, the software must first check that the RSF flag is set
in the RTC_ISR register.
Daylight saving time
The daylight saving time management is performed through bits SUB1H, ADD1H, and BKP
of the RTC_CR register.
Using SUB1H or ADD1H, the software can subtract or add one hour to the calendar in one
single operation without going through the initialization procedure.
In addition, the software can use the BKP bit to memorize this operation.
Programming the alarm
A similar procedure must be followed to program or update the programmable alarm (Alarm
A or Alarm B):
1. Clear ALRAE or ALRBIE in RTC_CR to disable Alarm A or Alarm B.
2. Poll ALRAWF or ALRBWF in RTC_ISR until it is set to make sure the access to alarm
registers is allowed. This takes 1 to 2 RTCCLK clock cycles (due to clock
synchronization).
3. Program the Alarm A or Alarm B registers (RTC_ALRMASSR/RTC_ALRMAR or
RTC_ALRMBSSR/RTC_ALRMBR).
4. Set ALRAE or ALRBIE in the RTC_CR register to enable Alarm A or Alarm B again.
Note: Each change of the RTC_CR register is taken into account after 1 to 2 RTCCLK clock cycles
due to clock synchronization.
Programming the wakeup timer
The following sequence is required to configure or change the wakeup timer auto-reload
value (WUT[15:0] in RTC_WUTR):
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 1 to 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. Due to clock synchronization, the WUTWF
bit is cleared up to 2 RTCCLK clocks cycles after WUTE is cleared.
