[color=#f00]Update 6/12/15: Looks like I posted to the wrong forum: rookie mistake. Found more on this will repost on LPC Open forum. Moderator, (if there is one), please remove this.[/color]

I'm following the lpc_open v2.08c example code for the RTC and it's not working. In my copy of rtc_15xx.h I find the following definitioins with identical implementations and I think it's incorrect in the case of the "Clear" function.

Shouldn't something like

pRTC->CTRL &= ~stsMask;  // corrected from original post

precede the return?

/**
 * @briefClears latched RTC statuses
 * @parampRTC: The base address of RTC block
 * @paramstsMask: OR'ed status bits to clear
 * @returnNothing
 * @noteUse and OR'ed stsMask value of RTC_CTRL_OFD, RTC_CTRL_ALARM1HZ,
 *and RTC_CTRL_WAKE1KHZ to clear specific RTC states.
 */
STATIC INLINE uint32_t Chip_RTC_ClearStatus(LPC_RTC_T *pRTC, uint32_t stsMask)
{
return pRTC->CTRL;
}

/**
 * @briefReturn RTC control/status register
 * @parampRTC: The base address of RTC block
 * @returnThe current RTC control/status register
 * @noteMask the return value with a RTC_CTRL_* definitions to determine
 *which bits are set. For example, mask the return value with
 *RTC_CTRL_ALARM1HZ to determine if the alarm interrupt is pending.
 */
STATIC INLINE uint32_t Chip_RTC_GetStatus(LPC_RTC_T *pRTC)
{
return pRTC->CTRL;
}

Thanks for the feedback. You're right about the error. I gave a better answer when I reposted (but still to the wrong forum: the first time it was an honest mistake, the second time a really dumb one). It's here, FWIW.

Original function seems to be wrong. It's just reading the register. Seems to be a copy&paste error from Chip_RTC_GetStatus(). Parameter uint32_t stsMask isn't used in the function...
But your solution is wrong as well: You write '0' to the bits.
UM says: "Writing a 1 clears this bit."
