stm32u073 wake from stop mode using RTC alarm

[Jochem]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a stm32u073 to wake up from stop mode using an RTC alarm. I previously did the same on a stm32f103 which seemed to work just fine. When trying the same on the stm32u073 the controller either doesn't wake up or wakes up every second depending on which mode is used for the RTC (BCD or binary).

In binary mode the controller wakes up every second not using the set time for the alarm, in bcd mode it doesn't wake up at all.

Is there something that has to be done differently when using the stm32u73? Or does anyone have a working example for waking up the stm32u073 from stop mode using an RTC alarm?

If it's waking up every second, you probably aren't setting the alarm mask bits correctly. Show your code.

  RTC_AlarmTypeDef sAlarm = {0};

  /* USER CODE BEGIN RTC_Init 1 */

  /* USER CODE END RTC_Init 1 */

  /** Initialize RTC Only

  hrtc.Instance = RTC;

  hrtc.Init.SynchPrediv = 255;
  hrtc.Init.OutPut = RTC_OUTPUT_DISABLE;

  if (HAL_RTC_Init(&hrtc) != HAL_OK)
  {
    Error_Handler();
  }

  /* USER CODE END Check_RTC_BKUP */

  /** Initialize RTC and set the Time and Date

  sTime.Hours = 0x0;

  sTime.Seconds = 0x0;
  sTime.DayLightSaving = RTC_DAYLIGHTSAVING_NONE;
  sTime.StoreOperation = RTC_STOREOPERATION_RESET;

  {
    Error_Handler();
  }
  sDate.WeekDay = RTC_WEEKDAY_MONDAY;
  sDate.Month = RTC_MONTH_JANUARY;
  sDate.Date = 0x1;
  sDate.Year = 0x0;

  if (HAL_RTC_SetDate(&hrtc, &sDate, RTC_FORMAT_BCD) != HAL_OK)
  {
    Error_Handler();
  }

  /** Enable the Alarm A
  */
  sAlarm.AlarmTime.Hours = 0x0;
  sAlarm.AlarmTime.Minutes = 0x0;
  sAlarm.AlarmTime.Seconds = 0x10;
  sAlarm.AlarmTime.SubSeconds = 0x0;
  sAlarm.AlarmMask = RTC_ALARMMASK_NONE;
  sAlarm.AlarmSubSecondMask = RTC_ALARMSUBSECONDMASK_ALL;
  sAlarm.AlarmDateWeekDaySel = RTC_ALARMDATEWEEKDAYSEL_DATE;
  sAlarm.AlarmDateWeekDay = 0x1;
  sAlarm.Alarm = RTC_ALARM_A;
  if (HAL_RTC_SetAlarm_IT(&hrtc, &sAlarm, RTC_FORMAT_BCD) != HAL_OK)
  {
    Error_Handler();
  }
  /* USER CODE BEGIN RTC_Init 2 */

  /* USER CODE END RTC_Init 2 */

}

This is my init of the RTC

I fixed it it was a mismatch between RTC_FORMAT_BCD and RTC_FORMAT_BIN numbers
