Using the RTC Module with MaixCAM MaixPy

The MaixCAM-Pro has an onboard RTC module, which will automatically synchronize the system time upon power-on and also sync time from the network. It will automatically re-sync when there are changes in network status.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, you don’t need to manually operate the RTC; you can directly use the system’s time API to get the current time.

If you do need to manually operate the RTC, please refer to bm8653 RTC Module Usage. Before manually operating the RTC, you can disable automatic synchronization by deleting the RTC and NTP-related services in the system’s /etc/init.d directory.

MaixCAM does not have an onboard RTC.
