 I need to preserve a clock counter without any drift or delay even the system having Soft reset, 
 I am using the Device BLE NUS bare metal example and running also the RTC ( instance 2 ) , On nrf52840 evb 
 And init the RTC in the start ( please</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 27 Feb 2020 12:47:35 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/58379/rtc-software-reset-and-in-between" /><item><title>RE: RTC software reset and in between</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/236838?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 27 Feb 2020 12:47:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:6268a59e-888c-487b-84eb-81740256536e</guid><dc:creator>Susheel Nuguru</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]1) what will happen if I reinit the RTC again after soft reset&amp;nbsp;[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;After a software reset, the RTC peripheral is reset and will&amp;nbsp;get a reset, which means all previous configuration is lost after the&lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=%2Fps_nrf52840%2Fpower.html&amp;amp;cp=4_0_0_4_2_5_7&amp;amp;anchor=concept_res_behav"&gt; soft reset&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]2) what will happen if I not re-init after soft reset only after hardware reset[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;Then the RTC remains in the reset state. That is reset and not configured.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
[quote user=""]3) during the soft reset the RTC is running ? or it enters the delay or drift clock?[/quote]
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;during reset, the device state is undefined. After the reset, RTC state is reset. I am not sure what you mean by delay or drift clock.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
