MQXLite current datetime/localtime

[srividhyaumasha]

I am trying to get the local datetime in a mqxlite project using code warrior 10.6.   I do not want to use a NTP Server.

* I was using time.h, with a baseboard project. Unfortunately i don't think the implementation is available with kinetics.

* Tried _time_ticks_to_xdate - Could not trace the header.

in vain

Is there anyone who can help me get the current date/time.

Hello Srividhya Umashanker,

you can set it i.g. by this way:

void setTime(uint16_t year, uint16_t month, uint16_t day, uint16_t hour, uint16_t minute, uint16_t second, uint16_t timezone)
{
    TIME_STRUCT  timeStruct;
    DATE_STRUCT dateStruct;
    MQX_TICK_STRUCT_PTR ticks;
    uint32_t      rtc_time;
    ticks = _mem_alloc(sizeof(MQX_TICK_STRUCT_PTR));
    dateStruct.YEAR = year;
    dateStruct.MONTH = month;
    dateStruct.DAY = day;
    dateStruct.HOUR = hour;
    dateStruct.MINUTE = minute;
    dateStruct.SECOND = second;
    dateStruct.MILLISEC = 0;
            if ( _time_from_date(&dateStruct, &timeStruct) == FALSE)
            {
                        printf("\n Cannot convert date_time ");
            }else{
                        rtc_time = timeStruct.SECONDS;
                        _time_set(&timeStruct);
                        _rtc_set_time(rtc_time);
                        _time_get_ticks(ticks);
                        _time_add_hour_to_ticks(ticks,timezone);
                        _time_set_ticks(ticks);
            }
}

I hope it helps,

Iva
