My mac is showing Europe/Berlin as CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3. That seems correct.

I think that if local time is showing correct, then the posix time zone string is correct. It is now 8:34am UTC, and 10:34 CEST (Central European Summer Time).

Perhaps VFS is not handling DST correctly? Can you put the SD card in a PC and see what time is shown there? That would tell us if it is the VFS or our handling?

I read the FAT filesystems have no concept of time zone, so timestamps could either be local or utc. Seems messy.

Just tested this entry from the list:

Same problem as with other public examples: local time is correct, but file dates are offset 1 hour into the future.

# con set vehicle timezone "CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3"
Parameter has been set.

Maybe this is a bug in the vfs.

"CET-2,M3.5.0/02:00:00,M10.5.0/03:00:00" works correctly now but I haven't tested if it would adapt to winter time.

A topic on esp32.com brought up this:


The approach seems similar to what I spoke about before (scrape tzdata, although they scrape install zone files directly in /usr/share/zoneinfo). I’ve attached the csv output of that. 460 time zones, about 15KB code size. That is up-to-date with tzdata 2018d-1. Including a simple library wrapper, to (a) iterate over the zone names, and (b) return the posix string for a particular name, probably less than 20KB overhead.

I live in such a simple timezone, it is hard for me to judge. Is this any use?

Regards, Mark.
