device detection PCF2127 vs PCF2131

[GCSI]

is there a fairly simple way for a software driver to detect which rtc device is installed?  We started off with PCF2127 but are redesigning for other reasons and considering moving to PCF2131 due to PCF2127 status of NRND.  but software must support both devices.

@TomasVaverka Are there any news about this?

Hi Todd,

Unfortunately there is no WHO_AM_I register or similar available on both RTCs, but you can read for example the PWRMNG[2:0] bits in the Control_3 register which are 0b000 by default on the PCF2127 and 0b111 on the PCF2131.

Best regards,

Tomas
