Summary
This chapter introduced you to the RTC framework and its API. The RTC framework's reduced set of functions and data structures make it the most lightweight framework, easy to master. Using the skills described in this chapter, you will be able to develop a driver for most existing RTC chips. . You will also be able to handle such devices from the user space, easily setting up the date and time, as well as alarms. The next chapter has nothing in common with this one, but is a must-read for embedded engineers.
