# The Oxide Office Clock

The clock in the Oxide Office displays the local time and date in print

sufficiently large to be visible from most parts of our floor space.  It is a

Rust program that runs on a small computer (presently, a Dell Wyse 3040 thin

client device), booted into a custom

[Helios](https://github.com/oxidecomputer/helios) ramdisk image.

The generated display looks like this:

In the office, it looks like this:

## Operation

On an illumos system, this program will take over the framebuffer device

usually operated by [wscons(4D)](https://illumos.org/man/4D/wscons).  The

mechanism in use is crude, and absolutely no warranty is made about its

use.  You have been warned!

For ease of development, if built on a Linux workstation the clock will be

rendered into a basic X11 window with the same aspect ratio as the target

display in the office.
