RTC Backup Register Read/Write not Working

[AAgar.2]

I am trying to read/write from backup registers in STM32H7.

Below is my code:

__HAL_RTC_WRITEPROTECTION_DISABLE(hrtc);
HAL_PWR_EnableBkUpAccess();
 
 HAL_RTCEx_DeactivateTamper(hrtc, RTC_TAMPER_1);
 __HAL_RTC_TAMPER_CLEAR_FLAG(hrtc, RTC_FLAG_TAMP1F);
 
uint32_t tmp = HAL_RTCEx_BKUPRead(hrtc, RTC_BKP_DR0);
HAL_RTCEx_BKUPWrite(hrtc, RTC_BKP_DR0, (uint32_t) 0xFF88FF88);
tmp = HAL_RTCEx_BKUPRead(hrtc, RTC_BKP_DR0);

The read/write is not working, I am getting the same value (which is 1701732715) every time I read. The RTC clock is enabled and tamper 1 is enabled.

What is the issue?

Are all needed RCC clocks for domain 3 activated?

Kind regards

That's 0x656E616B or "kane". Suspicious.

I'd say hrtc does not contain what it ought to contain.

Read the RTC registers content in debugger.
