Thanks Andrew, will try with “GetPerformanceCounter” and see how this works out.
The test bed at present is x86

Hi Andrew,

Trying to measure the elapsed time interval with a call to system time at 
different levels.


If you are writing platform code, or you know the platform.

https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/MdePkg/Include/Library/PerformanceLib.h
Which a lot of times is built on:
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/MdePkg/Include/Library/TimerLib.h

On a PC the PerformanceCounter is usually the TSC (CPU register) or the ACPI 
Timer.

Thanks,

Andrew Fish

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the comment, is there way we can ping the RTC with the help of 
architecture protocol, at higher TPL’s than Callback (or) nothing?


The rules are the rules.

What are you trying to do?

Thanks,

Andrew Fish

HI,

Is there a better way to obtain the system time? I tried GetTime and the call 
hangs When I raise the TPL level.


Did you violate the TPL rules in the UEFI spec?

UEFI 2.5 section 6.1Table 23. TPL Restrictions
Time Services <= TPL_CALLBACK

If not it is a bug in the implementation of gRT->GetTime().

Thanks,

Andrew Fish




Thanks
