Using Hibernate Tivaware API's in TI-RTOS

in continuation to the above post:
Can we use hibernate module as plain RTC module for calendar function (We do not need hibernation )

TIA

Hi Narendra,

TI-RTOS has the support for the functionality that you are looking for.  The Seconds module can be used to setup the wall clock on your device (TI-RTOS NDK also has support for SNTP in case you would like to sync the wall clock with the NTP servers). Once the wall clock is setup, the C std time APIs like ctime() can be used to get real time/date.

For example: 

In your .cfg file, add:

var Seconds = xdc.useModule('ti.sysbios.hal.Seconds');

In your application .c code, include:

#include <ti/sysbios/hal/Seconds.h>
#include <time.h>

and add the following code:

time_t ts;
/* Set the current time in seconds since epoch */
Seconds_set(1432145807);
ts = time(NULL);
System_printf("%s", ctime(&ts));

Hope it helps,

Vikram

how do I calculate seconds since epoch to use with Seconds_set. if I use RTC, I can get the input from user and write to the RTC registers. is there any function to calculate the seconds since epoch if given the date and time. One brute way of doing this is to calculate the number of days since epoch and calculate it by multiplying it with 24*3600. This would be a very crude way of doing it.

Any pointers in this direction would be helpful
