How to set an external clock as clock basetime?

alsa

I'd like to use an RTC as basetime for a QTextLabel in which I place a textual clock.
How I can use it?
Someone could give me a step-by-step procedure to insert it.
I tried as QProcess: time is visible but my qtextlabel shows statically the time at the bootup only.
ùThanks in advance

Hi,

Do you mean something like the digital clock example ?

Something like this, but with an external basetime (in my case basetime is an RTC that I query with "hwclock -r" instead internal QTimer set with 1 sec).
How to connect it ?

@alsa The usual way is to use the hwclock to set the system time once, then rely on the system time.

You can easily combine a QTimer to update the display with QTime::currentTime() to display your time.
