HI,

I have the RTCC on my PIC32  running and all is well but I need to convert
from POSIX to BCD to set the RTCC and from BDC to POSIX to TimeStamp out
bound data packets. As this would be a frequent requirement for
most systems that are communicating with networked devices I
was surprised that PLIB has no functions to convert between POSIX TIME
format and BCD.

Have I overlooked something (I often do with Microchip Documentation) or
has any one else created such functions and willing to share?

I am not a LINIX or PC person so have never worked with POSIX TIME
format. From what I can find in Google it is a 64Bit Int that counts
seconds from midnight on the 1st Jan 1979. The PIC32 RTCC counts from 1st
Jan 2000, so I need to add or subtract an offset in seconds and do the BCD
conversions, But how are leap years catered for in that calculation?

If no one has code for this I would really appreciate some pointers to help
me create the functions.

Cheers
Chris
