____________________________________________________________________________________________________


This directory contains an example ADSP-BF537 RTC project that does a basic blink routine and
then puts the part in deep sleep mode to be woken up from a RTC Stopwatch Event.  Once woken up,
the RTC is reconfigured to toggle the EZ KIT LEDs using RTC second, minute, hour, and day interrupts.

I.    FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The RTC demo demonstrates the ability of the Real-Time Clock to wake the processor up after being
put into deep sleep mode and the processor's abilities to service real-time interrupts by toggling
LEDs in real time.

II.   IMPLEMENTATION DESCRIPTION

The main portion of the algorithm calls:

1. Setup_Interrupt_Vectors - overwrites the default EVTx values setup in startup.asm for EVTs used
2. Configure_Flash         - initializes the flash ports to have access to the EZKIT's LEDs
3. Blink_LEDs              - flashes the LEDs to show a running algorithm before going to deep sleep
4. GoTo_DeepSleepMode      - sets RTC wake-up event at 16 seconds, writes PLL_CTL to go to deep sleep
5. Configure_RTC           - after wake-up, resets RTC to toggle LEDs for real-time interrupts

III.  OPERATION DESCRIPTION

- Open the project "RTC.dpj" in an ADSP-BF537 EZ-KIT Lite session in the VisualDSP Integrated 
  Development Environment (IDDE).
- Under the "Project" tab, select "Build Project" (program is then loaded automatically into DSP).
- Select "Run" from the "Debug" tab on the menu bar of VisualDSP.
- Observe LEDs flashing and then getting "stuck" for 16 seconds while processor is in deep sleep.
- After 16 seconds, LED display clears and then:
	LED1 toggles every second
	LED2 toggles every minute
	LED3 toggles every hour
	LED4 toggles every day
