hi
I am sorry, i just use get_maintainer.pl to get the "to" list.
I have go through the spec. The spec has the desctiption about the
invalid data writing.
I am a little confused about the "wrting 0 to DOW". The descrption is
confused. first it said that "If zero is written into any of these
fields, it is ignored
while generating the alarm", then it gives a example, that if writing
0 to DOW, "For example, if a zero is written into a DOW field, the
alarm is set
every day at the time written in the Hours, Minutes, and Seconds
field?. It seems that the Year/Month/Week will not take effect.
I will do the test on the board again, and send out the update.
