[U-Boot] u-boot - timestamp

[Abdullah YILDIZ]

I have a custom board which uses u-boot-1.3.3. I want to add timestamp information during booting. Do I have to use a patch for this?

Note sure what exactly you mean by "timestamp information", but AFAIR,
each build of U-Boot includes the build date and time.

[U-Boot] u-boot - timestamp

[Abdullah YILDIZ]

Sorry for the missing detail. I want to measure how long a specific process takes. For example,

[3814526.197336] message-1

[3814527.234145] message-2

?

I have used information from the following to get a timestamped log of 
each message output by U-Boot. I imagine there is more discussion of 
this on the U-Boot wiki, http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/WebHome.

Good luck and best regards,

Jim

as already mentioned, you can always use esternal tools to add
timestamps to the console log.  Other boot log features were added in
later (much later) versions of U-Boot.  If you want to use these, you
should update and use a current version of U-Boot.  U-Boot v1.3.3 is
about six years old and deserves to rest in peace.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

You can use for example time_log, see [1]

Argh... Is that not obvious?  There are O changes needed to U-Boot.
You can use anr running U-Boot (or any oter code that produces output
on a file descriptor you can pipe through the script).

You copied this from the comment of the "time_log" tool on our FTP
server, and this is ALL you need to produce such logs.  It even
includes an example command how to do that (which you omitted here):

...
# Used to provide a log with timestamps.
#
# For example run as: kermit -c 2>&1 | /tmp/time_log "Linux version"
# This might create a listing like this:
...

Hi, Denk:
Thanks a lot!
I have tried it, and it seemed wonderful!
Its mechanism is:
Using host pc's time stamp to tag the kermit's every output msg line,
right?

Best wishes,

fine.

Yes.  We use the conole output as progres meter and add a time tamp
whenever we receive a newline character.
