Description
ARM PrimeCell PL031 Real Time Clock Driver unit
The PL031 is a simple memory mapped Real Time Clock (RTC) device that supports a single 32-bit time counter based on the Unix time format which starts at 1 Jan 1970 and runs out at 19 Jan 2038.
The device also includes a single alarm value which can trigger an interrupt when the selected time is reached.
This driver currently does not support reading or setting the alarm value.
