Hi,

I am linking to “Duettimerlib” . I am testing the duetpackage  on an x86 
machine.

Thanks
Sai

Hi Andrew,

The “GetPerformanceCounter” is not working the way we want, the elapsed time 
varies, often from incremental value to decremented value.

For example: I save the start time with a call to the API and periodically I 
call the API for End time. Measure the difference,  with a time out value. It 
fails

Observation, with repeated calls to “GetPerformancecounter”  the value 
returned, varies from high value to low than the saved Start Time. I don’t 
think this will work for us.

We need a value that increments in time like a system time call in windows 
“getsystemtime” in msecs.

Please suggest.


You need the correct TimerLib for your hardware. What TimerLib are you using?

Thanks,

Andrew Fish

Thanks Andrew, will try with “GetPerformanceCounter” and see how this works out.
The test bed at present is x86

Hi Andrew,

Trying to measure the elapsed time interval with a call to system time at 
different levels.


If you are writing platform code, or you know the platform.

https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/MdePkg/Include/Library/PerformanceLib.h
Which a lot of times is built on:
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/MdePkg/Include/Library/TimerLib.h

On a PC the PerformanceCounter is usually the TSC (CPU register) or the ACPI 
Timer.

Thanks,

Andrew Fish

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the comment, is there way we can ping the RTC with the help of 
architecture protocol, at higher TPL’s than Callback (or) nothing?


The rules are the rules.

What are you trying to do?

Thanks,

Andrew Fish

HI,

Is there a better way to obtain the system time? I tried GetTime and the call 
hangs When I raise the TPL level.


Did you violate the TPL rules in the UEFI spec?

UEFI 2.5 section 6.1Table 23. TPL Restrictions
Time Services <= TPL_CALLBACK

If not it is a bug in the implementation of gRT->GetTime().

Thanks,

Andrew Fish
