Nucleo-STM32H563ZI RTC SSR Value Jump Back

[floatsky]

I am programming a Nucleo-STM32H563ZI and get a problem while trying to get subseconds value in RTC.

Below is the main code:

 

 

 

 

 unsigned prev_ssr = 0;
 char print_buf[32] = { 0 };
 unsigned this_ssr;
 int count;
 while (1)
 {
	 this_ssr = READ_REG(RTC->SSR);
	 if (this_ssr != prev_ssr) {
		 count = sprintf(print_buf, "%05u-->%05u\n", prev_ssr, this_ssr);
		 HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart3, (uint8_t const*)print_buf, count, 10);
		 prev_ssr = this_ssr;
	 }
 }

 

 

 

 

SSR SynchPrediv is 255 as default. It takes about 3.9ms to decrease by 1.

UART baudrate is 115200. It takes about 1.2ms to send a data package which has 14 bytes.

So this program could catch every normal change of SSR value. And the UART output data verify this.

But in the UART output data, I found some lines like this:

00030-->00029
00029-->00028
00028-->00031
00031-->00027
00027-->00026
00026-->00025

That tells us the SSR value would jump back sometimes.

And it happens about 3 or 4 times per second! I don't know whether some jumps escape.

The jump back value is always 3 (31-8= 3).

Do I take some mistake in STM32CubeIDE project or my code?

Welcome @floatsky, to the community!

You are reading a shadow register. Your problem has already been discussed e.g. here, probably that will help you too?

@Peter BENSCHThanks for attention.

I read the topic you mentioned. I get the knowledge that CR.BYPSHAD and ICSR.RSF work together to synchronize the 3 registers: SSR, TR, DR. Thank you for your information.

The problem in that topic looks like the same with mine. But they are not.

In my program, I read only one register, SSR, not all of the 3.

I modify my program as below:

1. Verify that BYPSHAD is 0, which is default.

2. Clear RSF and wait until it's set again by RTC hardware.

3. Read the 3 registers in the order of SSR, TR, DR.

 /* USER CODE BEGIN WHILE */
	unsigned prev_ssr = 0;
	unsigned this_ssr, tick, tr, dr;
	int count;
	char print_buf[32] = { 0 };
	while (1) {
		/* Unlock write protection */
		WRITE_REG(RTC->WPR, 0xCA);
		WRITE_REG(RTC->WPR, 0x53);
		/* Clear Registers Synchronization Flag(RSF) */
		CLEAR_BIT(RTC->ICSR, (1U << 5));
		/* Reactivate write protection */
		WRITE_REG(RTC->WPR, 0x11);
		/* Wait for hardware setting RSF to 1 */
		while ((READ_REG(RTC->ICSR) & (1U << 5)) == 0)
			;
		/* Read all 3 registers. */
		this_ssr = READ_REG(RTC->SSR);
		tr = READ_REG(RTC->TR);
		dr = READ_REG(RTC->DR);

		tick = HAL_GetTick();
		if (this_ssr != prev_ssr) {
			count = sprintf(print_buf, "%05u:%08u\n", this_ssr, tick);
			HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart3, (uint8_t const*) print_buf, count, 10);
			prev_ssr = this_ssr;
		}
 /* USER CODE END WHILE */

 /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
	}
 /* USER CODE END 3 */

But the result does not change. I'm not sure I've wrote the right code. If there is something wrong in it, please let me know.

 

I also try another way: set BYPSHAD to 1:

 /* USER CODE BEGIN WHILE */
	unsigned prev_ssr = 0;
	unsigned this_ssr, tick;
	int count;
	char print_buf[32] = { 0 };
	/* Unlock write protection */
	WRITE_REG(RTC->WPR, 0xCA);
	WRITE_REG(RTC->WPR, 0x53);
	/* Set BYPSHAD to 1 */
	SET_BIT(RTC->CR, (1U << 5));
	/* Reactivate write protection */
	WRITE_REG(RTC->WPR, 0x11);
	while (1) {
		this_ssr = READ_REG(RTC->SSR);
		tick = HAL_GetTick();
		if (this_ssr != prev_ssr) {
			count = sprintf(print_buf, "%05u:%08u\n", this_ssr, tick);
			HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart3, (uint8_t const*) print_buf, count, 10);
			prev_ssr = this_ssr;
		}
 /* USER CODE END WHILE */

 /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
	}
 /* USER CODE END 3 */

Jumps much fewer than that while BYPSHAD equals 0. But in idea, there should be none. And indeed there's none in Nucleo-F030R8 and STM32F746G-DISCO.

 

I wrote a python script to assist analyzing serial output.

import re
from serial import Serial
from sys import stderr

# Usage:
# 1. Give a correct serial port name to the variable "port" below.
# 2. Plug development board to PC.
# 3. Debug the program using your prefer IDE. Pause at the entry main function.
# 3. Run this script. Wait until it output "Let's go!" to console.
# 4. Resume the program and keep it running.

pattern = re.compile(r'(\d+):(\d+)')
port = '/dev/ttyACM0'
serial = Serial(port, baudrate=115200, timeout=1)
count = 10000
prev_ssr = 0
summer = dict()
total = 0
log = open('SSR.log', 'w')
# skip garbage data
while serial.read_until(b'\n') != b'':
 pass
print("Let's go!")
serial.timeout = None
for i in range(count):
 line = serial.read_until(b'\n').decode().strip()
 log.write(f'{i:05}:{line}\n')
 match = re.match(pattern, line)
 if not match:
 print(f'Corrupted data line:[{line}]', file=stderr)
 break
 ssr_s, tick_s = match.groups()
 ssr = int(ssr_s)
 if ssr != prev_ssr:
 diff = prev_ssr - ssr
 if diff == 1 or (prev_ssr == 0 and ssr == 255):
 pass
 else:
 total += 1
 summer[diff] = summer.get(diff, 0) + 1
 message = f'NO.{total:05} Jump. Prev: {prev_ssr:05}, Curr: {ssr:05}, Diff: {diff:05}, Line: {i:05}'
 print(message, file=stderr)
 prev_ssr = ssr
 else:
 message = f'Same value neighbors, at line {i:05}'
 print(message, file=stderr)

log.close()
serial.close()

print(f'Total jumps: {total}.')
print(summer)

And I find that I make a mistake in my first post: the jump back value is not always 3. Most of them are 3, not all.
