Clock synchronization

<< < (2/3) > >>

torne:
There is no such feature in USB, and generally USB transactions have to be the other way around: initiated by the host.

This is never going to be possible without *some* program on the host.

NorTheBear:
This comes in mind: not directly the request of the OP but what about letting the rockbox installer create a clock synchronisation file in the .rockbox folder, let's say clocksync.txt.
Whenever RB boots it looks for the existence of such a file. if found: it updates the clock accordingly and deletes the file afterwards.
silly idea?

GodEater:
But where is the time it's setting the clock to coming from ?

NorTheBear:
After some afterthoughts, I must admit that my idea has no solid ground to stand on. I first thought that it would be possible that the Roxbox utility read the computer time and feed Roxbox with that time in form of a file. Once Roxbox gets the control back, it would read that time from the file and sets the system time accurately. However, the time span between reading the computer time and setting the time by Rockbox would be unpredictable, and thus not acceptable.

bakseetdrivr:
what if rockbox created a file with the time according to the player as well as the time recorded from the computer. once the player starts up again, it could read the file, determine the difference between the two times and adjust accordingly
