FYI, I filed this issue against EAT <https://github.com/ietf-rats-wg/eat/issues/49>. It seems CBOR could use a time stamp format that doesn’t require floating point support. If if your CPU supports float, you have to have code to figure out which CBOR type you got and convert it to the format used by the decoder. Half-precision support is also implied here. LL
