If you want a timeout longer than the 20 days you can get with a normal RTC counter you can either configure yourself to wake up once every 20 days and continue the count, or use PPI to hook one timer to another one so every 20 days (or whatever timeout you want) one counter increments the next. Doing that, using two RTCs you can get up to 48 bits of timer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
