Strange results from RTC!!!!!

Hi All,

I have written a code to write and read from the RTC chip DS1305. I'm using VS2000 as my SPI master. After Writing some data to the RTC. When I try to read it I'm getting the following output. I observed the waveforms are also in accordance with the output.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Output:
Starting SPI application................
The device SPI is opened
Configuration is successfully set!!
After Read --> 255 0 0 0 0 128 128
------------------------------------------
After Read --> 255 0 0 0 0 128 128
------------------------------------------
After Read --> 255 0 0 0 0 128 128

Please find the code attached to this post. Please let me know if there is some obvious mistakes. Also suggest me some hardware issues that i can look into.

Problem Solved......

Hi All,

I got the solution for my problem.
The issue was basically with the setting of Clock Phase and Clock Polarity.

For DS1305 the settings are:
Config_t.bClockPolarity = DCT_CONST_SPI_CLOCK_POL_LOW;
Config_t.bClockPhase = DCT_CONST_SPI_CLOCK_PHA_HIGH;

Anybody who wants to test the DS1305, can use the code attached in my previous post, with the changes in the settings mentioned above.

Best Regards
Venki
