Bug description (state clearly and simply): date of file generated by the output recorder is not correct
Steps to reproduce (use numbered list): make an output recording, put your SD card in a computer and check the file’ date created and date modified ; it always defaults to 24/07/2019
Software version (blank if unknown): 28/11/2020
Type (major or minor): minor
see also here (for the bug with the INPUT recorder)
there’s no RTC on the board (it would need a battery) , so it doesn’t know the date/time, unless you connect it to a network (then it can and does, pick it up via ntp)
but it has an on board clock, so it would be possible to -at least- augment every file with a date/time later than the previous one
When the ssp starts it will always be the same date and time. Because there is no RTC ( with battery) so time cannot ‘continue’ whilst the ssp is turned off.
I’ve just noticed this is what Bert was telling you in your previous bug report.
Anyway the file date times will be relative to that.
So will overlap between sessions
No fix is possible , unless you connect to a network which would then automatically set the clock.
Btw: the ssp software does not set time/date of filies on filesystem …. thats just Linux OS.
