Detailed Description

The Clock implements the device for the real time clock, providing an interface to retrieve the current date/time.

Instead of reading several CMOS registers on each call to Clock::getDateTime / Clock::getTimestamp() (which is quite expensive), the update interrupt is used to keep track of the current timestamp in a local variable.

Member Function Documentation

getTimestamp()

uint32_t Clock::getTimestamp ( ) const

inline

Get current time stamp.

Returns

seconds since Unix epoch

getDateTime()

DateTime Clock::getDateTime ( ) const

inline

Get current date and time.

Returns

the current date and time

prologue()

bool Clock::prologue ( )

overridevirtual

Prologue for Real Time Clock Since the RTC can cause three different interrupts, the prologue is required to determine the source.

Returns

true if the epilogue has to be executed.

Implements Gate.

epilogue()

void Clock::epilogue ( )

overridevirtual

Epilogue for Real Time Clock.

Updates the time on the screen

Reimplemented from Gate.
