It would be nice if we had:

Internal time-of-day support (available to the OS). To start, we'd prompt for date and time on boot like MS-DOS does when the battery is flat. The Launchpad comes with a 32,768 Hz crystal.
External battery backed RTC support. See https://www.proto-pic.co.uk/ds1307-i2c-real-time-clock-module.html. Or can we add a battery to the hibernate module on the Tiva-C?

This then opens questions like time zones...

Kalin gave me an RTC module for a Raspberry Pi. Should work.

Also, date/time support needed for FAT support.

All done
