RealTimeClock - Add a "ticking" real-time clock that is updated on demand based on Kernel.Time

Description

Project Oberon provides a "real-time clock" that can be queried and set by System.Date. It is used for creating timestamps for files.

However, the clock is not ticking - when set, it remains at the set time, and when unset, it is 00.00.00 00:00:00.

These patches can be used to get a ticking real-time clock. However, this is not done by a task that wakes up the CPU every minute just to update the clock; instead the kernel function to get the time is patched to update the clock depending on Kernel.Time ticks.

When you are using an emulator that supports writing the real-time clock at 10000H at bootup, you can apply the second patch and will always have a correct "ticking" real-time clock without having to set it manually.

Installation

  • Apply RealTimeClock.patch to Kernel.Mod.

  • Recompile Kernel.Mod and rebuild the inner core:

    ORP.Compile Kernel.Mod FileDir.Mod Files.Mod Modules.Mod ~
ORL.Link Modules ~
ORL.Load Modules.bin ~

  • Restart the system.

  • Enjoy a correct time when you run System.Date ~
