Hi, i'm working with RTC and having issue about getting time. I'm calling HAL_RTC_GetTime function with HAL_RTC_GetDate, it's return old value of time. For example time is 00:10:00 and i called gettime function, it's return 00:09:38. I'm getting time value every seconds in while loop, and it returns same value about 8-10 times and then gives new value and repeat same new value..

When i setting an alarm interrupt, it's working exactly in time and getting interrupt but when i gettime in interrupt it returns old value again :S For example alarm occured at 00:10:00 and i called HAL_RTC_GetTime() it returns 00:09:28

I tried to set BYPSHAD register but nothing changed.

How exactly do you read out the time/date (show code), and how do you observe it?

Don't you read it out in interrupt?

This is my RTC Init function:

void MX_RTC_Init(void)
{
 
 /* USER CODE BEGIN RTC_Init 0 */
 
 /* USER CODE END RTC_Init 0 */
 
 RTC_TimeTypeDef sTime = {0};
 RTC_DateTypeDef sDate = {0};
 RTC_AlarmTypeDef sAlarm = {0};
 
 /* USER CODE BEGIN RTC_Init 1 */
 
 /* USER CODE END RTC_Init 1 */
 /** Initialize RTC Only
 */
 hrtc.Instance = RTC;
 hrtc.Init.HourFormat = RTC_HOURFORMAT_24;
 hrtc.Init.AsynchPrediv = 127;
 hrtc.Init.SynchPrediv = 255;
 hrtc.Init.OutPut = RTC_OUTPUT_DISABLE;
 hrtc.Init.OutPutPolarity = RTC_OUTPUT_POLARITY_HIGH;
 hrtc.Init.OutPutType = RTC_OUTPUT_TYPE_OPENDRAIN;
 hrtc.Init.OutPutRemap = RTC_OUTPUT_REMAP_NONE;
 if (HAL_RTC_Init(&hrtc) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 
 /* USER CODE BEGIN Check_RTC_BKUP */
 HAL_PWR_EnableBkUpAccess();
 if ((HAL_RTCEx_BKUPRead(&hrtc, RTC_BKP_DR0) != 0x32F2) || (InitState == 0)) {
 /* USER CODE END Check_RTC_BKUP */
 
 /** Initialize RTC and set the Time and Date
 */
 sTime.Hours = 0;
 sTime.Minutes = 0;
 sTime.Seconds = 0;
 sTime.DayLightSaving = RTC_DAYLIGHTSAVING_NONE;
 sTime.StoreOperation = RTC_STOREOPERATION_RESET;
 if (HAL_RTC_SetTime(&hrtc, &sTime, RTC_FORMAT_BIN) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 sDate.WeekDay = RTC_WEEKDAY_FRIDAY;
 sDate.Month = RTC_MONTH_JANUARY;
 sDate.Date = 1;
 sDate.Year = 21;
 if (HAL_RTC_SetDate(&hrtc, &sDate, RTC_FORMAT_BIN) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 /** Enable the Alarm A
 */
 sAlarm.AlarmTime.Hours = 0;
 sAlarm.AlarmTime.Minutes = 0;
 sAlarm.AlarmTime.Seconds = 0;
 sAlarm.AlarmTime.SubSeconds = 0;
 sAlarm.AlarmTime.DayLightSaving = RTC_DAYLIGHTSAVING_NONE;
 sAlarm.AlarmTime.StoreOperation = RTC_STOREOPERATION_RESET;
 sAlarm.AlarmMask = RTC_ALARMMASK_DATEWEEKDAY|RTC_ALARMMASK_HOURS;
 sAlarm.AlarmSubSecondMask = RTC_ALARMSUBSECONDMASK_ALL;
 sAlarm.AlarmDateWeekDaySel = RTC_ALARMDATEWEEKDAYSEL_WEEKDAY;
 sAlarm.AlarmDateWeekDay = RTC_WEEKDAY_MONDAY;
 sAlarm.Alarm = RTC_ALARM_A;
 if (HAL_RTC_SetAlarm_IT(&hrtc, &sAlarm, RTC_FORMAT_BIN) != HAL_OK)
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
 /* USER CODE BEGIN RTC_Init 2 */
 HAL_RTCEx_BKUPWrite(&hrtc, RTC_BKP_DR0, 0x32F2);
 }
 /* USER CODE END RTC_Init 2 */
 
}

And this one is RTC Alarm Callback function:

void HAL_RTC_AlarmAEventCallback(RTC_HandleTypeDef* hrtc)
{
	RTC_TimeTypeDef sTime = {0};
	RTC_DateTypeDef sDate = {0};
 
	HAL_RTC_GetTime(hrtc, &sTime, RTC_FORMAT_BIN);
	HAL_RTC_GetDate(hrtc, &sDate, RTC_FORMAT_BIN);
 
	printf("-> Time Value: %d:%d:%d\n", sTime.Hours, sTime.Minutes, sTime.Seconds);
}

The last one is emWin GUI Timer Callback function (Every seconds running)

static void _cbTimer(GUI_TIMER_MESSAGE *pTM)
{
 RTC_TimeTypeDef sTime;
 RTC_DateTypeDef sDate;
 
 printf("[%lu] [GUI TIMER : %d ms]\n", DWT->CYCCNT, pTM->Time);
 
		//RTC->CR |= RTC_CR_BYPSHAD;
		HAL_RTC_GetTime(&hrtc, &sTime, RTC_FORMAT_BIN);
		HAL_RTC_GetDate(&hrtc, &sDate, RTC_FORMAT_BIN);
 
		printf("-> Time Value: %d:%d:%d\n", sTime.Hours, sTime.Minutes, sTime.Seconds);
}

Here is SWO output log:

Btw if i set BYPSHAD register, i can get new values more often. Like this:

Do you use some form of sleep? If yes, you have to wait until RSF bit is set before reading time/date, try calling HAL_RTC_WaitForSynchro().

I didn't use any sleep function but i tried HAL_RTC_WaitForSynchro() function and nothing changed.

I don't understand how HAL_RTC_GetTime function returns old value while RTC Alarm getting right value and generate interrupt from same RTC shadow registers :S

Alarms are generated from the RTC-clock domain, otherwise they wouldn't work in sleep modes.

> I don't understand how HAL_RTC_GetTime function returns old value

Maybe it's not HAL_RTC_GetTime() which returns old value, but something in your program's fabric. Instead of printf(), try storing the read values into an array, and after some time, observe that array in debugger.

I was already use time values in an expression to check and control somethings and gettime wasn't working correctly, i mean swo printf works good.

I fixed problem yesterday but don't know how exactly done :) Change sometings, move gui apps and static libs to external flash and use BYPSHAD = 1.

If i don't set this value it still doesn't work. I think this is the starting point to solve problem.

Thanks for your support JW.
