[U-Boot-Users] mpc8xx RTC questions

Hi,
When setting "#define CONFIG_RTC_MPC8xx" ,how could I do in my hardware scheme to make it really work?I mean what kind of battery(Capacity and Type) and how to connect it with 8xx?Someone said HW must monitor the power status and before power failed SW could set 8xx into powerdown mode for keeping 8xx RTC still work with battery.Is this so?
Best regards,
Sam

This is a hardware design question and far beyond the topics of this mailing list. I'm pretty sure you can find some refernce design on the Motorola web pages.

See the MPC8xx User's Manual, section "Clocks and Power Control".

And BTW the RTC on MPC8xx draws much to much current! It's broken. See Errata for these proceossors.
