Hi!
I have inspected TODO file from barebox repo. Here is a quote:
[ ] Rewrite network stack. The one-loop-for-all-protocols stack is just too
ugly and big and uses thousands of global variables. Identify common
functions and make a loop per network protocol
There is no much tiny TCP/IP stack candidates for porting to barebox.
The most notable is lwIP (http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/).
See "project that use lwIP" list here: http://lwip.wikia.com/wiki/Projects_that_use_lwIP
lwip code is BSD-licensed. Is it possible to use lwip code in barebox?

Best regards,
Antony Pavlov
P.S. Anyway TODO file from barebox repo is outdated (last change Jul 22 2010).

I'm not happy at all about this code base, it looks quite ugly and old-fashioned. It's not the barebox kind of quality. I'd stay with the current code rather than lwip, despite the number of users.

Thanks for very interesting picotcp link! At a glance picotcp looks better than lwip. -- Best regards, Antony Pavlov _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
