I've compare the firmware 13.0s0 and the 13.3s0. It seems the offset was handle in the 13.0s0 (see attachment).

Here the test I did to no avail (the 13.2s1 and the 13.3s0 firmwares) :

Code:

SysControlBlock SCB = new SysControlBlock(SysControlBlock.SYS);
String timeZoneName = SCB.getItem("Timezone");
        
TimeZone tz = TimeZone.getTimeZone(timeZoneName);
tz.setID(timeZoneName);

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeZone(tz);

Date date = calendar.getTime(); //The offset of the time zone is 0 so I still get the UTC 0 current date.

I also tried to get the offset from the system config parameter of the eWon but when I look at it, the offset was set to 0 with the 13.3s0 firmware.

Is there any work around that would provide the offset while managing the daylight saving time?

It is to be noted that the offset in the system config is shown in seconds.

Right now, I need to adjust manually the time zone offset, but I still need to figure out how to manage the daylight saving time automatically.

• The Java runtime environment could be update in the Java ETK
  
• Updating the firmware to give Java developper access to a parameter (using the SysControlBlock class) returning the time zone offset according to the selected time zone
  

• Creating a time zone manually
  
• Java doc on SimpleTimeZone
  
• Time zone daylight saving time information

Indeed, I think we have to improve the ETK (+firmware) to provide a way to read the local and UTC time easily.
I imagine something like

com.ewon.ewonitf.EwonSystem.getLocalTime()
com.ewon.ewonitf.EwonSystem.getUTCTime()

I have reported that to the R&D.

This is still not available unfortunately.
I will push it again internally.
