Introduction
The Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC real time clock (RTC) provides the real time even when the device is powered off. When the device is off, the RTC is switched to the battery power supply. A battery-backed RAM (BBRAM) is provided for when device is operating in the battery mode. However, the RTC controller and user interface are only operational when the low-power domain supply is ON. The RTC has an alarm function that generates an alarm at a specific time and date with a 136-year range. The RTC also has periodic software calibration and logic to correct the static fractional inaccuracy of an oscillator.
HW/IP FEATURES:
Real-Time Clock (RTC) provides the following features:
- Maintains the real time, even when the device is off (powered-off).
- Has the capability to generate an alarm at a specific time and date.
- Includes the means for periodic software calibration of the RTC.
- Includes logic to correct the static fractional inaccuracy of the oscillator.
- Keeps track of time within a window of more than 136 years (232 seconds) from a reference point.
- Implemented as three counters.
- 16-bit tick counter creates one second based on the crystal clock.
- 4-bit fraction counter keeps track of the static crystal errors in one second that is less than one oscillator tick.
- 32-bit seconds counter holds the real time and allows on-demand reload whenever current time of the RTC is set.
- Allows wake-up at a specific second within the 136 years (32-bit alarm)

Testing Procedure
| Code Block |
|---|
|
1.Get current date and time using "date" command
2.Set date and time using following commanddate -s "2015-09-08 13:36:00"
3. Verify the same using date command again.
