What might cause RTC Backup Domain Reset when LSI is clocking RTC versus LSE on STM32F4 ?
Hello I have a STM32F411 where the RTC is reset (TR=0) and (ISR=7) when the device is reset while fully powered with LSI clocking RTC versus LSE. When LSE is selected everything works great.
My desire to use LSI stems from the need use the LSI in a case where LSE is not functioning reliably. I am not concerned with time drift, but need the RTC for timed sleep intervals.
I copy RTC_ISR and RTC_TR to an unused area of memory at the very beginning of SystemInit() then read that memory print print the results after the system has finished its init and transferred control to main().
This lets me know that nothing is generating a Backup-Domain reset later on in the init process, e.g. in HAL_Init()... I have implemented code to handle rtc_init() resetting RTC as mentioned in other threads..
When LSE is selected, resetting or sleeping the device causes no problems. I see values I expect in TR and a non- 0x7 value in RTC_ISR. When LSI is selected, reset kills the RTC and it ends up stopped (Backup Domain Reset) where also the Backup Registers (user 20 words) are also cleared.
As a double check when I have selected LSE if I put my finger on the 32KHz XTAL (after touching ground , not exposing device to ESD) the clock stops (I print the time every time it changes) then resumes when I remove my finger (only when LSE selected - no change when LSI of course). Also, I double checked LSEON/RDY and LSION/RDY registers to verify I am using the correct oscillator before I thought up finger test.
Help! Anyone Have some ideas?

Below is the fix for the RTC to stop register reset on POR or nRST and NVIC_SystemReset() . In fact this covers all the STM platforms that uses the same RTC peripheral.
Copy & paste the whole chunk to replace the existing code.
Haven't tried using with LSI, didn't see the point as it is soooo inaccurate for time functions.
The LSI set up is in the RTC_API.c, it should be the same unless NVIC_SystemReset() somehow resets it elsewhere. In which case you will need to restart it.

Hi Ron, I just give you a small hint. It looks like rtc_init() routine problem. Please import my library as below.
In addition, you need to use mbed-dev (supersedes mbed-src) library and delete mbed lib.
/users/mbed_official/code/mbed-dev/
In your case, you need to modify following part in “rtc_api_F4xx.c” (part of SetRTC lib.) line 124.
rtc_api_F4xx.c
#if defined(ORIGINAL)
// Enable LSE Oscillator
RCC_OscInitStruct.OscillatorType = RCC_OSCILLATORTYPE_LSE;
RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLState = RCC_PLL_NONE; /* Mandatory, otherwise the PLL is reconfigured! */
RCC_OscInitStruct.LSEState = RCC_LSE_ON; /* External 32.768 kHz clock on OSC_IN/OSC_OUT */
if (HAL_RCC_OscConfig(&RCC_OscInitStruct) == HAL_OK) {
// Connect LSE to RTC
__HAL_RCC_RTC_CLKPRESCALER(RCC_RTCCLKSOURCE_LSE);
__HAL_RCC_RTC_CONFIG(RCC_RTCCLKSOURCE_LSE);
rtc_freq = LSE_VALUE;
} else {
// Enable LSI clock
RCC_OscInitStruct.OscillatorType = RCC_OSCILLATORTYPE_LSI | RCC_OSCILLATORTYPE_LSE;
RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLState = RCC_PLL_NONE; // Mandatory, otherwise the PLL is reconfigured!
RCC_OscInitStruct.LSEState = RCC_LSE_OFF;
RCC_OscInitStruct.LSIState = RCC_LSI_ON;
if (HAL_RCC_OscConfig(&RCC_OscInitStruct) != HAL_OK) {
error("RTC error: LSI clock initialization failed.");
}
// Connect LSI to RTC
__HAL_RCC_RTC_CLKPRESCALER(RCC_RTCCLKSOURCE_LSI);
__HAL_RCC_RTC_CONFIG(RCC_RTCCLKSOURCE_LSI);
// [TODO] This value is LSI typical value. To be measured precisely using a timer input capture
rtc_freq = LSI_VALUE;
}
#else
// Enable LSI clock
RCC_OscInitStruct.OscillatorType = RCC_OSCILLATORTYPE_LSI | RCC_OSCILLATORTYPE_LSE;
RCC_OscInitStruct.PLL.PLLState = RCC_PLL_NONE; // Mandatory, otherwise the PLL is reconfigured!
RCC_OscInitStruct.LSEState = RCC_LSE_OFF;
RCC_OscInitStruct.LSIState = RCC_LSI_ON;
if (HAL_RCC_OscConfig(&RCC_OscInitStruct) != HAL_OK) {
error("RTC error: LSI clock initialization failed.");
}
// Connect LSI to RTC
__HAL_RCC_RTC_CLKPRESCALER(RCC_RTCCLKSOURCE_LSI);
__HAL_RCC_RTC_CONFIG(RCC_RTCCLKSOURCE_LSI);
// [TODO] This value is LSI typical value. To be measured precisely using a timer input capture
rtc_freq = LSI_VALUE;
#endif
Remark: I have NOT tested this modification.
What kind of program are you excuting? You need to concern not only RTC itself but also RTC clock source slection likes RCC_BDCR and/or RCC_CSR. Please confirm LSI clock goes to RTC module or not.
posted by Kenji Arai 27 Jan 2016Hello Kenji, Thanks for your reply. My program relies on performing a NVIC_SystemReset() call after sleep. Maybe this is what is getting me into trouble with trying to keep RTC running with LSI source. After a soft/hard reset, I see RCC_BDCR is not reset by Internal or External Reset which carries enable bits for LSE, but that RCC_CSR (which has LSI enable bit LSION) is reset to a value where LSI is turned off. (Referencing RM0383 July 2014 version Page 128). I could live with restarting LSI, after reset but in the process a backup domain reset happens clearing the RTC registers. I have not looked at trying to save RTC state just before issuing Reset. Maybe on wakeup,just before I order the NVIC_SystemReset() I could save the RTC user registers which I store state information in designed to survive system reset (20 on this device) to unused area of SRAM and also save current time and date, then recover just after reset. Does my thinking sound reasonable?
PS Yes, I confirmed that the LSI was clocking the RTC. I even went into the LSI init code in rtc_api.c and changed the divisor on LSI init so the RTC would be clocked at 2X. In my program after forcing rtc_init() The RTC would start counting time at 2X. Also, to note that I implemented code suggested on mbed to disable init of RTC when ISR register was not in its reset configuration. That is mainly if power has not failed on start-up then don't do rtc_init().
I know this is the type of thing where code might be helpful, but really comparing RTC registers between LSE operation and LSI operation at the start of execution could not be much simpler, well, so I say. Ha!
