Our product is going to be used worldwide, so it is required that also other timezone settings than Europe/Berlin are supported.
What do we have to modify in the root image (and/or kernel) (linux-2.6.22-taskit4) in order to have the possibility to select different timezones, and is it sufficient to set the TZ environment variable in order to select another timezone?
Re: More Timezones for Molux/PanelCard
You can copy the zoneinfo database from your Linux distribution.
Note that you might not need all timezone entries, so it would save a lot space to copy only needed information.
The timezone database is located at:
"/usr/share/zoneinfo/"
After you have copied the database onto flash you need to set a link pointing from "/usr/share/zoneinfo/" to your database at startup.
Timezones can be change either by setting the TZ variable (e.g.
) or by creating a link from /etc/localtime to the appropriate timezone (e.g.
).
More information can be found at the official TZ homepage:
