PER_GET_TIM problem
vbt - Dec 16, 2006

I'd need to get the seconds of the Saturn clock and got problem to read the internal clock, do :


Code: 
  
 Uint8 *time; time = PER_GET_TIM(); sprintf((char *)buff,"%02x%02x-%02x-%02x %02x:%02x:%02x",time[6],time[5],time[4] & 0x0F,time[3],time[2],time[1],time[0]);

the same as samples and it displays only zeros Can someone help ?

All that does is fetch a pointer to an SBL internal variable. You still have to setup the PER library to regularly fetch the time data(see PER_Init and PER_KD_PERTIM).

Thanks a lot CyberWarriorX it works perfectly, now I can display the full date of the BIOS and can do test on seconds Here is the working source :


Code: 
  
Uint8 *t; void UsrVblankIn( void ) { SCL_VblankStart(); _spr2_transfercommand(); } void UsrVblankOut( void ){ char my_date[50]; t = PER_GET_TIM(); PER_GetPort(__port); sprintf(my_date,"%02x%02x-%02x-%02x %02x:%02x:%02x",t[6],t[5],t[4] & 0x0F,t[3],t[2],t[1],t[0]); FNT_Print256_2bpp((volatile Uint8 *)SCL_VDP2_VRAM_A1,(Uint8 *)my_date,10,230,9,9,9,0); SCL_VblankEnd(); } void SetVblank( void ){ __port = PER_OpenPort(); PER_LInit( PER_KD_PERTIM, 2, 2, per_work, 0 ); INT_ChgMsk(INT_MSK_NULL,INT_MSK_VBLK_IN | INT_MSK_VBLK_OUT); INT_SetScuFunc(INT_SCU_VBLK_IN,UsrVblankIn); INT_SetScuFunc(INT_SCU_VBLK_OUT,UsrVblankOut); INT_ChgMsk(INT_MSK_VBLK_IN | INT_MSK_VBLK_OUT,INT_MSK_NULL); }
