RTC deviceEdit

DescriptionEdit

There are two RTC devices on the Evaluation Kit, one is provided by the STM32MP1 SoC, the other is a Maxim DS3232M I2C device.

Both RTC can retain time and custom data over blackouts using a backup power source as:

  • the lithium rechargeable battery (BT1) that is mounted on the carrier board.
  • an external battery connected to J3 (alternate mounting option to the battery)
