In the past, you need modify rtc_api.c in mbed-dev source code. From this revision, you can just use RTC function all of conditions (Normal, Reset, Stand-by, Power OFF).

Note

From now on, you do NOT need any modification for mbed-dev library because STM team updates rtc_api.c source code and support RTC function under reset & standby condition includes power off condition (You need additional VBAT back-up hardware).

Please refer following NOTE information.

/*  mbed library now suports RTC continuous operation at Reset & Power ON/OFF
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In the past, rtc_api.c (inside mbed) alway made a reset RTC registers
    when user push a reset buttom or terninate a power.
    Even if user configures a back-up circuit for RTC, mbed board could not
    keep proper time.
    I have checked mbed rev.133 and mbed-dev rev.155.
