Hi,

I am wondering whether U-Boot already has the functionality to retrieve the 
number of seconds since beginning of the 1970-01-01 epoch. I would like to use 
this value in a Hush script.

For a product I have the requirement to detect if the current booting happens 
within x seconds of the last boot. I already have access to the system’s RTC 
and can read it with U-Boot’s date command. This returns the current date and 
time in a nice human readable format. I am now looking for something which 
would return a timestamp in seconds. I could then fulfill the afore mentioned 
requirement by calculating the difference between two timestamps using Hush and 
the let command.

Alternative proposals how to fulfill the requirement within U-Boot are welcome, 
too. ☺

Best regards,
Mark
