System time vs RTC time

PostPosted: Mon Nov 27, 2017 2:42 pm

Hello.
In the 'esp-open-rtos' SDK there are two functions. One is the
Code: Select allsdk_system_get_time
and the other the
Code: Select allsdk_system_get_rtc_time
.
I understand that the 1st one returns the number of microseconds since the system start but I do not understand at all what is the
Code: Select allsdk_system_get_rtc_time
doing. They say that it is the Real Time Clock time but it doesn't seem its numbers to have any meaning as I can not find any way to convert such numbers into seconds or something. I have just observed that it changes around 175000 units per second, but how is that coming from?
Thanks for any help.
