DC_RTC_TIME resets to zero whenever dc_rtc_write writes CMD_RESET to the DC_RTC_CONTROL register. DC_RTC_REFERENCE keeps the value that dc_rtc_write stores there. So the driver will return values larger than U32_MAX if you happen to cross this point in time between dc_rtc_write and dc_rtc_read. But you can't store a value larger than U32_MAX in DC_RTC_REFERENCE. Will the core RTC code handle the U32_MAX cross correctly? baruch -- http://baruch.siach.name/blog/ ~. .~ Tk Open Systems =}------------------------------------------------ooO--U--Ooo------------{= - baruch@tkos.co.il - tel: +972.52.368.4656, http://www.tkos.co.il -
