C64: ChiCLI (command line interface terminal)

[NML32]

I just learned about this program from the C64 FB group. Neat little tool. I was wondering if there is a way to have the MiSTer C64 see the RTC outside of GEOS? If I run the date or time command I get a message no rtc found (makes sense).

ChiCLI, as it's currently coded, will only get the time/date from the SD2IEC.
To use the RTC on mister outside of GEOS, a driver/program of some sort will have to be written that you can use straight from basic or modify ChiCLI to access it.

Hi! I made ChiCLI. If someone points me to some docs or source code or something I'll look into supporting this. I don't have a Mister right now, but if it's re-creating a specific RTC that I can test in the VICE emulator then it's possible! Thanks!

From the c64 mister core github page (https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/C64_MiSTer):

RTC is PCF8583 connected to tape port. To get real time in GEOS, copy CP-CLOCK64-1.3 from supplied disk to GEOS system disk.

Hi! I made ChiCLI.

Any idea why ChiCli is detecting the MiSTer C64 Model as: "TheC64 C64" when loading ChiCli from disk or prg? It's weird, if I load ChiCli from an Eash-Flash crt the Model is detected as: "Commodore 64"

I recorded loading ChiCli from D64, prg, and crt.
