Re: Q: time related functions

Thanks, costaud.
So I guess I have to manage my own time/date ('cause the os doesn't have one)?
F.e. query NTP on startup and maintain an own timer counting the sec/millisec for time/date...

Does the function return time in seconds? Related to which time?
Is a reverse function (system_set_time) available?
Is a global "ticks since (re)start" variable available?

Hey Strolch, this func returns a time counted in microsecond.It is read from a loop counter and is related to the time the chip is powered on. Usually,it is used to get an time interval and will re-count when the chip is reset.
