Revert "ArmPlatformPkg,EmbeddedPkg,MdeModulePkg: Move RealTimeClockLib ..."

2026-05-06T03:41:31+00:00

This reverts commit 57230fff6b39a665485be1bd43ec608d412ba6fb. RealTimeClockLib is not a generic library class that is intended to be used widely to get access to the RTC when the associated runtime services are not available in the calling context. The purpose of RealTimeClockLib is to abstract the underlying hardware access from the generic RealTimeClockRuntimeDxe driver, which backs the runtime services. This means it does not belong in a different package; it belongs in the same package as the driver. Continuous-integration-options: PatchCheck.ignore-multi-package Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

EmbeddedPkg/VirtualRealTimeClockLib: Use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

2025-10-16T10:41:09+00:00

Change VirtualRealTimeClockLib.inf to use SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH instead of Linux only shell command. This allows this library to be used in Windows build environments. Signed-off-by: Leif Lindholm

ArmPlatformPkg,EmbeddedPkg,MdeModulePkg: Move RealTimeClockLib header

2025-09-08T08:54:42+00:00

RealTimeClockLib is an architectural implementation that is not restricted to the embedded segment or any platform in particular. So the header has been moved to MdeModulePkg. And the package has been added to the relevant INF files. Continuous-integration-options: PatchCheck.ignore-multi-package Signed-off-by: Sachin Ganesh

EmbeddedPkg: Fix some spelling mistakes found by cspell

2024-08-01T19:53:47+00:00

When cspell is installed (via `npm install cspell`), CI checks for spelling mistakes. There are currently a very large number of them: some are genuine mistakes while others are words or acryonyms that cspell doesn't know. Fix a few of the misspellings in EmbeddedPkg. Signed-off-by: Rebecca Cran

EmbeddedPkg/VirtualRealTimeClockLib: Support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

2024-07-04T19:05:45+00:00

RISC-V ovmf used VirtualRealTimeClockLib but the default epoch is a compilation time. It causes that the RISC-V ovmf binary image is NOT reproducible. This patch added the support of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH by printenv command. If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH be found then we use it as BUILD_EPOCH. Otherwise we run date command for setting BUILD_EPOCH. For distributions want a reproducible RISC-V ovmf image, they should export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable before building ovmf.

EmbeddedPkg/VirtualRealTimeClockLib: drop LibRtcVirtualNotifyEvent

2023-10-18T16:15:41+00:00

The RealTimeClockLib class header in edk2 mistakenly declares a function called LibRtcVirtualNotifyEvent(). No component ever calls this function crossing module boundaries; all RealTimeClockLib instances in edk2 and edk2-platforms are supposed to register (and do register) their SetVirtualAddressMap() notification functions. In particular, VirtualRealTimeClockLib *itself* doesn't even use LibRtcVirtualNotifyEvent() -- the function is defined with an empty body, clearly in an understandable, but misguided, attempt, to conform to the (bogus) library interface. Remove the function. Build-tested only (with "RiscVVirtQemu.dsc").

EmbeddedPkg/VirtualRealTimeClockLib: Fix SetTime issues

2021-07-29T10:13:32+00:00

This patch fixes two issues below: 1. SCT SetTime_Func failures. - https://github.com/pftf/RPi4/issues/164 2. Using shell time and date commands to set time can't work. The problem is that gRT->SetTime always returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER error status. The root cause is that LibSetTime() sets RtcEpochSeconds variable with inconsistent attributes. One is without EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE, the other one is with EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE. That caused that the variable driver returns EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER. Per UEFI spec, if a preexisting variable is rewritten with different attributes, SetVariable() shall not modify the variable and shall return EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER. Therefore, the solution is to add EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE attribute to the first EfiSetVariable() call to make two calls consistent. By the way, this patch also fix a minor issue with a debug message. Signed-off-by: Sunny Wang Reviewed-by: Pete Batard Tested-by: Pete Batard
