16.6.5 RTC Time Alarm Register
Name: RTC_TIMALR
Address: 0x400E1870
Access: Read/Write
This register can only be written if the WPEN bit is cleared in the System Controller Write Protection Mode Register
(SYSC_WPMR).
Note: To change one of the SEC, MIN, HOUR fields, it is recommended to disable the field before changing the value and then re-
enable it after the change has been made. This requires up to three accesses to the RTC_TIMALR. The first access clears the
enable corresponding to the field to change (SECEN, MINEN, HOUREN). If the field is already cleared, this access is not
required. The second access performs the change of the value (SEC, MIN, HOUR). The third access is required to re-enable the
field by writing 1 in SECEN, MINEN, HOUREN fields.
