  • Page 20: Gui Description

    NXP Semiconductors PCF85053ATK-ARD evaluation board 7 GUI description A GUI application is available for the three EVK boards from NXP Semiconductors. The application is common for all above mentioned EVKs (MIMXRT1050-EVKB, LPCXpresso55S69 and MIMXRT685-EVK), produced by NXP Semiconductors. This section describes the GUI application and how the user can control the PCF85053ATK-ARD expansion board from the graphical interface.
  • Page 21 UM11873 NXP Semiconductors PCF85053ATK-ARD evaluation board Figure 10. Graphical interface at start-up (“Settings” tab activated by default) In the upper area (the blue region), from left to right the following data and commands are displayed: • Date/Time: displays the current date and time stored in the internal registers of the RTC (see below the Date / Time tab description).
  • Page 22 UM11873 NXP Semiconductors PCF85053ATK-ARD evaluation board Figure 11. Graphical interface – “Registers” tab activated The next available tab is Registers. Clicking on it, a new interface appears (Figure 11). On the left-hand side of the main window, the user can manually read or write the internal registers of the RTC, by specifying the register address and the number of bytes to be read or written.
  • Page 23 UM11873 NXP Semiconductors PCF85053ATK-ARD evaluation board Figure 12. Graphical interface – “Date/Time” tab activated Figure 12 shows the Date / Time tab. In the main window all data regarding the time and the date are present. Notice that under the each parameter the register address and relevant bits within the register are indicated. To change the parameter and write it into the register, click on the parameter’s drop-down menu.
  • Page 24 UM11873 NXP Semiconductors PCF85053ATK-ARD evaluation board Figure 13. Graphical interface – “Alarm” tab activated The next tab (see Figure 13) is Alarm. In the same fashion as the previous tab, the RTC registers for the alarm can be written. The CLR button will clear the alarm flag, and the AIE checkbox will enable/disable the Alarm interrupt.
  • Page 25 UM11873 NXP Semiconductors PCF85053ATK-ARD evaluation board Figure 14. Graphical interface – “Timestamp” tab activated Figure 14 the Timestamp tab is presented. The timestamp register records any write to the date/time registers. Alongside with the date / time data, a two-byte random number (the R code) is generated and stored by RTC at the timestamp event as unique identifier.
  • Page 26 UM11873 NXP Semiconductors PCF85053ATK-ARD evaluation board Figure 15. Graphical interface – “SRAM” tab activated The SRAM tab is shown in Figure 15. From here, the user can write data into the 128-byte SRAM memory of the RTC, or read the current information from the RTC’s SRAM memory. To write data, the user need to specify the address (00h to 7Fh) and enter the desired values to be written into the text field.
  • Page 27 UM11873 NXP Semiconductors PCF85053ATK-ARD evaluation board Figure 16. Graphical interface – “CLKOUT/Offset/Battery/Oscillator” tab activated Figure 16 displays the interface of the last tab, Clockout/Offset/Battery/Oscillator. From this tab, the user can manage parameters of the following registers: Oscillator (13h), Status (0Bh), Control (0Ah), CLKOUT Control ((0Ch), and Offset (12h).
