 /*
  * This example demonstrates how to use the alarm functionality of the RTC
- * (Real Time Clock) on the Portenta C33.
+ * (Real Time Clock) on the Portenta C33 and UNO R4 Minima / WiFi.
  *
- * It switches the built-in LED between blue and red each time the alarm
+ * It turns on the built-in LED when the alarm
  * is triggered, which is once every minute in this example.
+ * In addition, inside the loop, we print the state of the alarm
+ * continuously, which is either 0 (LOW) or 1 (HIGH).
  *
+ * Note that the Portenta C33's LED is inverted and will be lit when
+ * the state is 0 (LOW).
