This directory contains a fully functional firmware for implementing a
|
|
|
|
|
drop-in replacement for the RTC on ATTiny85 microcontroller.
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, ATTiny85 cannot be a true drop-in replacement, but you
|
|
|
|
|
can get pretty close. The main caveat is time drift due to counting
|
|
|
|
|
seconds entirely from the internal oscillator, the crytsal oscillator
|
|
|
|
|
unfortunately cannot be used (efficiently/effectively) by the
|
|
|
|
|
ATTiny85.

The AVR core clock is run from an internal oscillator to generate 8

MHz. The required fuse bytes setting is included in the generated ELF
|
|
|
|
|
object file in the `.fuse` section, in the order (low, high,
|
|
|
|
|
extended). See the source code of MacRTC.c for more information on
|
|
|
|
|
electrical specifications and the like.

## Device Programming
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note: For the ATTiny85 form factor, the external RESET pin must
|
|
|
|
|
be disabled since it is used for the 1-second interrupt output.
|
|
|
|
|
Therefore, after the initial programming, it will only be possible to
|
|
|
|
|
reprogram via high-voltage serial programming.
