Hi Claus,

When the SuperCap lost its power (after a few days) the clock needs to 
be set once in order to clear the Power Fail Flag. That's all and that's 
obviously what you tried already.

I'll send you a tested binary to make sure that this is not a hidden 
software problem. But actually I assume that the 32kHz clock crystal on 
your board is broken. In this case egnite will replace the board.

My best wishes for the New Year to you and all members of the list.

Harald
