Apex Dual Orin RTC Power Backup#

Specification#

Maximum standby design time: 18.5 days

Function Type#

Backup Power Type: Battery

Functional Specification#

A real-time clock (RTC) refers to a function that can output the actual time like a clock does.

The RTC power backup function means that the RTC can still operate even when the main power supply is disconnected. This ensures that when the system loses power and restarts, the system time does not experience significant changes.

RTC Usage#

Verify system time settings.#

Functional Verification#

#Check the current system UTC time and RTC time.
timedatectl
#Power off the device, leave it for 5 minutes, then power it on.
#Verify if the system UTC time and RTC time are consistent. If they are consistent, it indicates that the RTC power backup is working properly.
