3：Produce overview：
The RTC module is specifically designed for Raspberry Pi. It communicated with
Raspberry Pi through I2C bus. There is a Maxim DS1307 and CR1220 button cell on
the board to keep the real time for a long time after the Raspberry Pi has it’s power
down. Set a serial port, TTL convenient way online debugging
3：Produce Features：
Use Maxim DS1307 chip
Extends CR1220 button cell backup
Can be operated by a shell
Set a serial port connector
Programmable square-wave output signal
Consumes Less than 500nA in Battery-Backup Mode
Automatic Power-Fail Detect and Switch Circuitry

8：More information：
The DS1307 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power, full binary-coded
decimal(BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data
are transferred serially through an I2c, bidirectional bus. The DS1307 has a
built-in power-sense circuit that detects power failures and automatically
switches to the backup supply. We select the 8-Pin SO package chip used in
this Module and minimizes the required space
The RTC maintains seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month and year
information. The date at the end of the month is automatically adjusted for
months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year. The clock
operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format
The CR1220 backup battery will keep the RTC timekeeping no less than two
years

8.2：Test bench：
1. Type in [sudo raspi-config] set up raspberry pi and prepare to enable i2c
interface
2. select Advanced Options
3. select I2c
4. select yes enable I2C

5. type in [sudo vim.tiny /etc/modules] to open file modules
6.add i2c-dev device like picture below
7. install i2c-tools ,type in [sudo apt-get install i2c-tools]

8. type in [sudo reboot] wait the raspberry pi restart
Then type in [sudo i2cdetect –y 1], if RTC works ,it should be like picture below
Type in [sudo su –] change root user
Type in [modprobe i2c-dev] to load I2C device
Type in [echo "ds1307 0x68" > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-1/new_device] add RTC to
system
Then you can use “hwclock” command to use this RTC module
If you want to know more about hwclock command you can type in “man
hwclock” to get details
A brief description like following:
Command [hwclock –r] to get RTC time
Command [hwclock -w]set the system time to RTC time
Like following
