[jira] [Created] (MYNEWT-4) Need the concept of wallclock time

Sterling Hughes created MYNEWT-4:
------------------------------------

             Summary: Need the concept of wallclock time
                 Key: MYNEWT-4
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYNEWT-4
             Project: Mynewt
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Sterling Hughes


Right now all time is relative, either using OS time (which is a 1ms tick), or cputime, which allows for high resolution timers.

There needs to be a concept of "real" / "wallclock" time.  Time should be kept in a 64-bit value, and both 64-bit and 32-bit APIs should be created to allow access to time.
