Detailed Description

Utilities to read and write the real time clock from the ARM7.

Function Documentation

initClockIRQ()

void initClockIRQ

(

void

)

Initialize the RTC and setup the RTC interrupt to update the time.

Deprecated:

The RTC interrupt isn't supported by the 3DS in DS or DSi modes. Any application that uses it will run on DS and DSi consoles, but not on 3DS. Also, most emulators don't support it either. The alternative is to use initClockIRQTimer(), which uses a timer interrupt instead.

initClockIRQTimer()

void initClockIRQTimer

(

int

timer

)

Initialize the RTC and setup a timer interrupt to update the time.

Parameters

timer

Timer index to use.

rtcTimeAndDateGet()

void rtcTimeAndDateGet

(

rtcTimeAndDate *

rtc

)

Fills the provided rtcTimeAndDate structure with the current time and date.

Parameters

rtc	Pointer to the rtcTimeAndDate struct to fill.

rtcTimeAndDateSet()

int rtcTimeAndDateSet

(

rtcTimeAndDate *

rtc

)

Saves the current time and date to the provided rtcTimeAndDate structure.

A returned value of 0 doesn't mean that the RTC registers were updated correctly, only that the checks previous to writing the RTC registers passed.

Note: Check the documentation of rtcOffset in struct tPERSONAL_DATA for additional information.

Parameters

rtc	Pointer to the rtcTimeAndDate struct with the new time and date.

Returns

If the provided values were valid, it returns 0, else -1.

rtcTimeGet()

void rtcTimeGet

(

rtcTime *

rtc

)

Fills the provided rtcTime structure with the current time.

Parameters

rtc	Pointer to the rtcTime struct to fill.

rtcTimeSet()

int rtcTimeSet

(

rtcTime *

rtc

)

Sets the current time to the provided rtcTime structure.

A returned value of 0 doesn't mean that the RTC registers were updated correctly, only that the checks previous to writing the RTC registers passed.

Note: Check the documentation of rtcOffset in struct tPERSONAL_DATA for additional information.

Parameters

rtc	Pointer to the rtcTime struct with the new time.

Returns

If the provided values were valid, it returns 0, else -1.
