how to use API ?

[Anonymous]

Hello

   

what is use of two API

   

RTC_SetAlarmMask()

   

RTC_GetAlarmMask()

   

actually I am trying to compare current time and alarm time. If alarm time and current time match ,alarm occur.  If both time does not match , no alarm occur. I am not sure but I think I have to use  RTC_GetAlarmMask(). so that we can compare both time 

[ETRO_SSN583]

The mask is to determine what portions of date/time you want to

   

use to create alarm. Like month day year, mask allows you to use

   

all for the alarm, or just month or just day year or......

when I need to get time and date from RTC. I write following statement  

   

uint32 time;
 uint32 date;

   

   /* Get Date and Time from RTC */
        time = RTC_GetTime();
        date = RTC_GetDate();
 

   

I don't want to use two API , I just want to use one RTC_GetDateAndTime()  to get current time and date 

   

how to replace that API with RTC_GetDateAndTime() ? and also What I have to do to get alarm time and date ?

The datasheet explains the parameter that RTC_GetDateAndTime() requires: A pointer to (address of) a structure RTC_DATE_TIME which you must provide. Same applies to RTC_GetAlarmDateAndTime(). Have a look into the datasheet under "Data Structures" to see the members of the struct. Help for accessing structs is here.

        ok , I am trying int main() { typedef struct { uint32 time; uint32 date; uint32 dayOfWeek; uint32 status; }RTC_DATE_TIME; RTC_date_time AlarmDateAndTime; AlarmDateAndTime.Sec = 55u; AlarmDateAndTime.Min = 59u; AlarmDateAndTime.Hour = 22u; AlarmDateAndTime.DayOfMonth = 31u; AlarmDateAndTime.Month = 12u; AlarmDateAndTime.Year = 2007u; RTC_SetAlarmDateAndTime(); /* Enable all interrupts */ CyGlobalIntEnable; RTC_SetAtarmDateAndTime(& AlarmDataAndTime); RTC_GetAtarmDateAndTime(& AlarmDataAndTime);

Not quite right. The structure is already declared you only need to define a variable of that type as

   

struct RTC_DATE_TIME MyDateTime;

   

Using the pre-defined structure saves you from errors in the case of API or structure changes in future component updates.

        int main()
{
   
    uint32 time;
    uint32 date;
    uint32 alarm;

   

 while(1)
    {

   

       date = RTC_GetDate();
        time = RTC_GetTime();
        alarm = RTC_GetAlarmDateAndTime();

   

why I am getting this error ?

   

Build error: too few arguments to function 'RTC_GetAlarmDateAndTime'

Hi vead

       

I am pic.programmer at edaboard. I am trying to solve your problem. You have to do like this.

   

I am waiting for the answer here.

   

http://www.cypress.com/forum/psoc-4-architecture/how-set-values-time-date-dayofweek-and-status

       

{code}

   

RTC_date_time myDateAndTime, myAlarmDateAndTime;
uint32 alarmStatus = 0;

   

//Set these values. They are uint32 type values.

   

myDateAndTime.time = 
myDateAndTime.date = 
myDateAndTime.dayOfWeek = 
myDateAndTime.status = 

   

myAlarmDateAndTime.time = 
myAlarmDateAndTime.date = 
myAlarmDateAndTime.dayOfWeek = 
myAlarmDateAndTime.status = 

   

RTC_SetDateAndTime(myDateAndTime.time, myDateAndTime.date);

   

RTC_SetAlarmDateAndTime(&myAlarmDataAndTime);

   

RTC_SetAlarmMask(RTC_ALARM_SEC_MASK | RTC_ALARM_MIN_MASK | RTC_ALARM_HOUR_MASK 
        | RTC_ALARM_DAYOFWEEK_MASK | RTC_ALARM_DAYOFMONTH_MASK | RTC_ALARM_MONTH_MASK | RTC_ALARM_YEAR_MASK);

   

Read Alarm Status to check if Alarm has a match using

   

alarmStatus = RTC_GetAlarmStatus();

   

if(alarmStatus) {
    //Current time and date match alarm time and date
    RTC_ClearAlarmStatus();
    //Turn on an LED
}
