Hi everybody!

I have a big problem, we produced 500 boards with a LPC1547 embedded, and on half the RTC doesn't work.
The 32khz oscillates, I think it's not a pb from the XTAL.

my code to initiate the RTC:

void RTC_Init( void )
{
LPC_SYSCON->RTCOSCCTRL |= BIT_0;
LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL0 |= (BIT_23);
LPC_RTC->CTRL|= RTC_OFD ;
LPC_RTC->CTRL&= ~ RTC_SWRESET;
while(LPC_RTC->CTRL&RTC_SWRESET);
LPC_RTC->CTRL |= RTC_ALARM_1HZ | RTC_EN;
NVIC_EnableIRQ(RTC_ALARM_IRQn );
}

The LPC_RTC->CTRL is always equal to 0x82 ie

"Fail. RTC oscillator fail detected. Clear this flag after the following power-up. Writing a 1 clears this bit."

Have you an idea?

Thanks

Hi AlexandreR,
Could you please also post your schematic here?

Hi,

This code definately works (you can probably remove the vTaskDelay in rtsSetTime, I just had it there for tidyness;

// ============================================================================================
uint32_t rtcGetTime(void)

{
    uint32_t r;

    /* Keep reading until we get something stable back */
    while (r!=LPC_RTC->COUNT) r=LPC_RTC->COUNT;

    return r;
}
// ============================================================================================
void rtcSetTime(uint32_t timeSet)

{
    LPC_RTC->CTRL&=~(1<<0);  /* Take part out of reset if it was in reset */
    vTaskDelay(10);
    LPC_RTC->CTRL&=~(1<<7);  /* Disable the RTC while we load the value */
    LPC_RTC->COUNT=timeSet;
    LPC_RTC->CTRL|=(1<<7);  /* Enable the RTC */
    LPC_RTC->CTRL&=~(1<<1);  /* Clear the osc fail flag */
}
// ============================================================================================
void rtcUnset(void)

{
    LPC_RTC->CTRL&=(1<<0);
}
// ============================================================================================
BOOL rtcRunning(void)

{
    return (LPC_RTC->CTRL&(1<<7));
}
// ============================================================================================
void rtcInit(void)

{
    LPC_SYSCON->SYSAHBCLKCTRL0|=(1<<23); /* Allow access to RTC registers */
}
// ============================================================================================

Hope it's useful. It should at least help you remove code from the equation of what's going wrong. In my experience the oscillator is a bit fragile at spinning up so be careful with your capacitor choices (putting a scope probe on one leg can be enough to start the thing up, so seeing it running on a scope is no certainty that it's _always_ running).
