https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/55312/nrf9160-how-to-make-time-return-correct-timeHi, What is the proper way to set &quot;real time&quot; in nRF9160 with nRF Connect SDK? I want the function time() from the file time.h to return the correct time. I know that I can read the correct time from the modem with +CCLK when connected to the networken-USTelligent Community 13Fri, 06 Dec 2019 14:34:45 GMThttps://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/224229?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 06 Dec 2019 14:34:45 GMT137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:7c36c690-8555-4257-8936-c3d2a09418c8H&#229;kon Alseth<p>Hi Björn,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> [quote user=""]But how do I &quot;plug&quot; the correct time into the system so time() works as expected?[/quote] <p>I think you have to write your own time() function to be able to do this, if you require the use of time() specifically.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> [quote user=""]What is the proper way to set &quot;real time&quot; in nRF9160 with nRF Connect SDK?[/quote] <p>There&#39;s many ways of setting or fetching time.
