Bits 31:17 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 16 RECALPF: Recalibration pending Flag
The RECALPF status flag is automatically set to 1 when software writes to the RTC_CALR
register, indicating that the RTC_CALR register is blocked. When the new calibration settings
are taken into account, this bit returns to 0. Refer to Re-calibration on-the-fly.
Bits 15:8 Reserved, must be kept at reset value.
Bit 7 INIT: Initialization mode
0: Free running mode
1: Initialization mode used to program time and date register (RTC_TR and RTC_DR), and
prescaler register (RTC_PRER). Counters are stopped and start counting from the new
value when INIT is reset.
Bit 6 INITF: Initialization flag
When this bit is set to 1, the RTC is in initialization state, and the time, date and prescaler
registers can be updated.
0: Calendar registers update is not allowed
1: Calendar registers update is allowed
Bit 5 RSF: Registers synchronization flag
This bit is set by hardware each time the calendar registers are copied into the shadow
registers (RTC_SSRx, RTC_TRx and RTC_DRx). This bit is cleared by hardware in
initialization mode, while a shift operation is pending (SHPF = 1), or when in bypass shadow
register mode (BYPSHAD = 1). This bit can also be cleared by software.
It is cleared either by software or by hardware in initialization mode.
0: Calendar shadow registers not yet synchronized
1: Calendar shadow registers synchronized
Bit 4 INITS: Initialization status flag
This bit is set by hardware when the calendar year field is different from 0 (Backup domain
reset state).
0: Calendar has not been initialized
1: Calendar has been initialized
Bit 3 SHPF: Shift operation pending
This flag is set by hardware as soon as a shift operation is initiated by a write to the
RTC_SHIFTR register. It is cleared by hardware when the corresponding shift operation has
been executed. Writing to the SHPF bit has no effect.
0: No shift operation is pending
1: A shift operation is pending
