Investigate I2C RTC support for GB/GBC #9

Open OtherCrashOverride opened 6 years ago

OtherCrashOverride commented 6 years ago

The ODROID-GO has an expansion port on the top. It should be possible to attach an RTC to this for games that make use of the date/time.

Is the code for the base OS on GitHub? I may be able to help with this since I have worked with I2C RTCs before and I have several. I haven't worked on an ESP32 platform before but it doesn't look much different.

The base OS code fork is here: https://github.com/OtherCrashOverride/esp-idf

It should not require any OS modifications to implement. Using the I2C APIs, the RTC can be read and the date set using an API call.

How about enable WIFI and use NTP to get a time stamp?

OtherCrashOverride commented 6 years ago

Although possible, the use of wifi would introduce a large delay to game startup during the associate and retrieval operation. It would also require the introduction of UI to display APs and allow entering a password to connect.
