FRDM-RW612 RTC GPREG R/W Access

aar — Tue, 21 Jan 2025 16:21:17 GMT

I'm working on the FRDM-RW612 eval kit and testing the RTC peripheral.

All the basic RTC operations, including Alarm and Wake-up, seem to be working correctly; however, I'm struggling to get the RTC's general purpose registers to allow me Write Access.

I know from other NXP parts, such as the IMXRT, that privileged access might be required to write/read to/from these registers, but I couldn't find this information for the RW61X.

Is there any special procedure or access requirements to enable R/W access to these registers? If so where can I find the documentation for it?

Hi,

Have you already referred to RM00278?

Regards,

Daniel.

Yes! RM00278 and UM11865.

From RM00278 it only has this:
"Data retained during Deep power-down mode or loss of main power as long as VBAT is supplied."

The associated control register description also doesn't mention anything specific about the GPREG.

Please share with my how you are trying to access those registers and what is your objective by modifying them.

Regards,

Daniel.

I'm using the RTC base pointer to access the GPREG for read and write as follows:

#include "RW612.h"
...
const uint32_t dataWrite{5};
RTC->GPREG[0] = dataWrite;
...
dataRead = RTC->GPREG[0]
...

Hi,

I was able to replicate. Let me check internally.

The internal team is still looking into this.

Sorry for the delay.

Hi @aar,

Sorry for the late reply. There is a typo in the RM.

GPREG offset should be 44. Could you please try modifying the PERI_RTC.h as follows:

uint8_t RESERVED_0[44];

This is already reported to the corresponding team.

Regards,

Daniel.
