Summary: LPC2XXX/17XX HW RTC driver can report wrong time/date
data
Product: eCos
Version: CVS
Platform: Other (please specify)
OS/Version: Cortex-M
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: low
Component: Wallclock
AssignedTo: unassigned@bugs.ecos.sourceware.org
ReportedBy: bernard.fouche@kuantic.com
CC: ecos-bugs@ecos.sourceware.org
Class: Advice Request
I'm looking at the HW RTC driver for LPC2XXX/LP17XX and I see this:
struct time {
volatile cyg_uint32 sec;
volatile cyg_uint32 min;
volatile cyg_uint32 hour;
volatile cyg_uint32 dom;
volatile cyg_uint32 dow;
volatile cyg_uint32 doy;
volatile cyg_uint32 month;
volatile cyg_uint32 year;
};
struct rtcdev {
volatile cyg_uint32 ilr;
volatile cyg_uint32 ctc;
volatile cyg_uint32 ccr;
volatile cyg_uint32 ciir;
volatile cyg_uint32 amr;
volatile cyg_uint32 ctime[3];
struct time time;
cyg_uint32 dummy[8];
struct time alarm;
#ifndef CYGHWR_HAL_LPC_RTC_32768HZ
volatile cyg_uint32 preint;
volatile cyg_uint32 prefrac;
#endif
};
static struct rtcdev * const rtc =
(struct rtcdev *) CYGARC_HAL_LPC2XXX_REG_RTC_BASE;
...[snip]...
cyg_uint32
Cyg_WallClock::get_hw_seconds(void)
{
return _simple_mktime(rtc->time.year,
rtc->time.month,
rtc->time.dom,
rtc->time.hour,
rtc->time.min,
rtc->time.sec);
}
The problem is:
- time data is spread in different HW registers that can't be read in a single
shot by the MCU.
- the code do not consider the case when unfortunately the RTC will change of
second exactly between different register reads.
For instance get_hw_seconds() is called at 23:59:59, a few ns before the RTC is
about to move to 00:00:00: the function can return 23:00:59, 00:59:00,
anything is possible according to the way the compiler orders the processing of
the arguments before calling _simple_mktime() (the same for the date).
The solution is to read the whole set of registers twice: if they don't have
the same value, then read them again. If there are similar, then report the
result since it will be coherent.
