Hello masters,

This is my first time to use Netburner MOD5270.
Whenever I tried to compile the code, I get "undefined reference to 'gettimeofday'" message.
I think I spent enough time to figure out 'gettimeofday' problem. I seriously need a help!!

Here's my code:

Code: Select all

#include "predef.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <startnet.h>
#include <autoupdate.h>
#include <dhcpclient.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

extern "C" {
	void UserMain(void * pd);
	//int gettimeofday(struct timeval *t, struct timezone *tz);
}

void UserMain(void * pd)
{
	InitializeStack();
	if (EthernetIP == 0) GetDHCPAddress();
	OSChangePrio(MAIN_PRIO);
	EnableAutoUpdate();

	timeval now;

	while (1) {
		gettimeofday(&now, 0);
		iprintf("%ld.%06ld\n", now.tv_sec, now.tv_usec);
		OSTimeDly(10);
	}
}

If I remove the comment in extern "C" {...}, I get the following message:
..\main.cpp:10: error: declaration of C function 'int gettimeofday(timeval*, timezone*)' conflicts with
C:\nburn/gcc-m68k/m68k-elf/include/sys/time.h:73: error: previous declaration 'int gettimeofday(timeval*, void*)' here

I saw some related posts, but no one solved this matter.
Please help me out. Thanks!

To start with the NetBurner does not know what time it is unless you use NTP or you tell it what time it is....

I'd recommend looking a the example nburn\examples\standardstack\NTPclient

If you need usec sort of timing resolution then use the HiResTimers class....

Are you trying to measure time ?
Or Now the time of day?

The Natural RTOS time counts are Secs and TimeTicks.... both automatically maintained at the TimeTick resolution...

Hello pbreed,

Yes, I need to use usec for my project.
Thanks for your suggestion.

The reason for my post is that since nobody solved this 'gettiemofday' matter, I just want someone to provide the solution not other suggestion/links. In this forum, I think it's good to know the solution for those of people who are having same concern with me. If you know, please provide the solution.

gettimeofday is not supported,
the time_t functions are suported.

It should have been removed from the header file...
