The STM controller's backup RAM is used to store different kinds of information that shall be preserved if the controller resets.
The hardware setup is missing a separate powersupply for the controller's backup domain. Therefore, the backup RAM is cleared, when the power is cut.
The backup RAM is used to store permanent error flags (See :ref:`safety_flags`). This ensures the flags stay present, even if a system reset is performed. The only way to clear them is by cutting the power.
The backup RAM is used to store permanent error flags (See :ref:`safety_flags`). This ensures the flags that trigger hard faults / the panic mode, can be identified, although the wathcoog resets the controller. The only way to clear them is by cutting the power.
Because cutting the power is a way to clear the backup RAM, no separate method for clearing the error entries in the backup RAM is defined.
The backup RAM contents are protected by a `CRC Checksum`_.
