OK, there is a problem with this code:

+LibGetTime (

You're right.

Looks like I forgot to merge all the use of EpochSeconds into 
ElapsedSeconds, from the code I copy/pasted.


I'm very sorry about this, as it's something I should have picked up 
before sending this patch for review.

It is not clear to me what the correct fix is, so Pete, could you

Oh, we do want all modules in the .dsc - so that we can easily compile
test everything. (And sure, we may have missed some in the past, but
we've gotten better at remembering when we add new ones :)

With the above line added, I built VirtualRealTimeClockLib succesfully
for AARCH64, ARM, IA32 and X64.

All that should be needed is:
build -p EmbeddedPkg/EmbeddedPkg.dsc -m 
EmbeddedPkg/Library/VirtualRealTimeClockLib/VirtualRealTimeClockLib.inf

Well, I actually tried just that but got a build failure when trying to 
compile it (sorry can't remember exactly what was the issue and I don't 
have access to an edk2 test env at the moment) and I saw that some 
libraries in the same location, such as TimeLib which I believe is used 
by some edk2-platforms, are also not referenced at all in the dsc.


So my take was that not all of the libs are required to be included in 
the dsc, especially if they are meant to be referenced directly.


If you feel this is important, I can look into adding the .dsc ref 
again, though provided I can figure out my issue (which may very well 
boil down to me not being too familiar with compiling a standalone 
EmbeddedPkg) it might be a week or two before I can send an updated patch.

I don't have any strong opinions on either of Phil's suggestions, but
if you could give some feedback on those and fold the above in, this

What about:

Well, the plan is to see what we can actually do for platforms that 
can't define BUILD_EPOCH to the actual compilation time through shell 
invocation.


Rather than assume that we won't be able to do anything for those, and 
therefore default to an epoch that would have a very large offset even 
when the user went the trouble of recompiling the firmware, I'd rather 
we get a better idea of the environments this might apply to, and see if 
there's anything that could be achieved there.

On the whole, this looks good to me.
One addition we'll need, so that we can build this library standalone
is an entry in EmbeddedPkg.dsc:

I don't have any strong opinions on either of Phil's suggestions, but
if you could give some feedback on those and fold the above in, this
could go in.

[edk2] [PATCH 1/1] EmbeddedPkg/Library: Add VirtualRealTimeClockLib

2019-02-04 Thread Pete Batard
This is designed to be used on platforms where a a real RTC is not
available and relies on an RtcEpochSeconds variable having been set or,
if that is not the case, falls back to using the epoch embedded at
compilation time.

Note that, in order to keep things simple for the setting of the
compilation time variable, only GCC environments with UNIX-like shells
and where a 'date' command is available are meant to be supported for
now.
