That said, reading the app note, I kind of realized: a) that playing with ST bit for programming time is not done, but then, that implies that oscillator will have to be restarted (upto a few seconds for certain crystals).. but that said, it does not seem mandatory or seem to (yet seen) functional issues... b) We dont have flexibility yet to describe if we do indeed have a backup battery or not - VBATEN should be set only if we have a backup battery on the platform :( - on some it might even be optional thanks to certain compliance requirements of shipping boards internationally and general "unlike" of lithium ion in cargo hold.. c) we dont have capability to control the alarm polarity in the driver which, by the way, we probably should also control OUT polarity (when ALARM is not asserted).. d) we dont have support for external 32k oscillator(X1 only) instead of assuming we always have a 32k crystal(X1 and X2)... Ugghhh... more cleaning up to do for the future.. that said, the sequence it does recommend (in page 4): The following steps show how the Alarm 0 is config- ured. Alarm 1 can be configured in the same manner. 1. Write 0x23 to the Alarm0 Seconds register [0x0A]. 2. Write 0x47 to the Alarm0 Minutes register [0x0B]. 3. Write 0x71 to the Alarm0 Hours register [0x0C] – 11 hours in 12-hour format. 4. Write 0x72 to the Alarm0 Day register [0x0D] – Tuesday + Alarm Polarity Low + Match on all. The Alarm0 Interrupt Flag is also cleared. 5. Write 0x14 to the Alarm0 Date register [0x0E]. 6. Write 0x08 to the Alarm0 Month register [0x0F]. With all the Alarm0 registers set we can now activate the Alarm0 on the Control register. 7. Write 0x10 to the Control register [0x07] – Alarm0 enabled no CLKOUT, Alarm1 disabled before this patch we do ( http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/10863880/) CONTROL r[7] = 0x90 (OUT=1, ALM0EN=1) OSCTRIM r[8] = 0x00 EEUNLOCK r[9] = 0x00 ALM0SEC r[A] = 0x01 ALM0MIN r[B] = 0x45 ALM0HOUR r[C] = 0x23 ALM0WKDAY r[D] = 0x75 <-ALMOIF is cleared ALM0DATE r[E] = 0x09 ALM0MTH r[F] = 0x04 RSRVED r[10] = 0x01 with this patch, we do: burst( CONTROL r[7] = 0x80 (OUT=1) OSCTRIM r[8] = 0x00 EEUNLOCK r[9] = 0x00 ALM0SEC r[A] = 0x01 ALM0MIN r[B] = 0x45 ALM0HOUR r[C] = 0x23 ALM0WKDAY r[D] = 0x75 <-ALMOIF is cleared ALM0DATE r[E] = 0x09 ALM0MTH r[F] = 0x04 RSRVED r[10] = 0x01 ) CONTROL r[7] = 0x90 (OUT=1, ALM0EN=1) Which is slightly unoptimal way of what the app note recommends. - as I mentioned earlier in this thread, I will try and do optimizations in a later patch. Given that Andrew had picked up this patch, I dont see a reason to respin this yet.. but will include the app note for future patches - thanks for pointing it out to me. >> >> Signed-off-by: Nishanth Menon <nm@xxxxxx> >> --- >> Changes in v2: >> - minor typo fix in comments >> - merged up code that I missed committing in >> >> V1: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/6245041/ >> >> drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1307.c | 12 ++++++------ >> 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) >> >> diff --git a/drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1307.c b/drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1307.c >> index 4ffabb322a9a..3cd4783375a5 100644 >> --- a/drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1307.c >> +++ b/drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1307.c >> @@ -742,17 +742,17 @@ static int mcp794xx_set_alarm(struct device *dev, struct rtc_wkalrm *t) >> regs[6] &= ~MCP794XX_BIT_ALMX_IF; >> /* Set alarm match: second, minute, hour, day, date, month. */ >> regs[6] |= MCP794XX_MSK_ALMX_MATCH; >> - >> - if (t->enabled) >> - regs[0] |= MCP794XX_BIT_ALM0_EN; >> - else >> - regs[0] &= ~MCP794XX_BIT_ALM0_EN; >> + /* Disable interrupt.

Ugggh.. anyways..)...
