Hello,

How can I use time.h functions in S32 design studio? I tried clock() and also time() functions, but none of them works.

Thanks,

Vlad

Hello,

It doesn't work. I am using also newlib, but with or without the two ewl libraries, time() function always returns -1 (error code).

Hi Vlad,

sorry for my previous post. Return code -1 is correct, because the micro does not have any resources, how to return you correct time.

This is the clock function description:

This function returns the calling process' current CPU time. If the CPU time is not available or cannot be represented, clock returns the value (clock_t)(-1).

and this is the time function description:

The time function returns the current calendar time as a value of type time_t. If the argument result is not a null pointer, the calendar time value is also stored in *result. If the current calendar time is not available, the value (time_t)(-1) is returned.

So you cannot simply use these functions. The way, how to use these functions exists, but it will be pretty difficult and I do not have any experience with it. Please look at the follow  URL:
