tickGet() returns the number of ticks that have occurred since system
startup. sysClkRateGet() returns the number of ticks that elapse per
second. If by "system time" you mean the time since the system was
started, then ((getTick() / sysClkRateGet()) * 1000) is the system time
in milliseconds.

If by "system time" you mean time of day, the getTick() and sysClkRateGet()
are not what you need.

Hi,

uptime in ms: (tickGet() * 1000) / sysClkRateGet()

tickGet, ticks since boot
sysClkRateGet, number of ticks per seconds.

Read the manual for this.

Cheers,
Renee
