hardware sockets #297

Closed DimkaM closed 8 years ago

DimkaM commented 8 years ago

I have a network card ZXUSBNET, built on the base of chip wiznet w5300(http://www.nedopc.com/zxnetusb/zxnetusb.php). Are there any plans in fuzix-kernel, support hardware-sockets tcp/ip, udp/ip etc? Or the need to implement support in a particular platform?

Sorry, I do not speak english well.

Alan has adding very preliminary coding for tcp/ip in fuzix... mostly defines and the such. I am sure its planned, but seems to be far down the road.

by the way: that a cool board you linked to! I cant wait till we have more 8 bitters on the internet.

I've started sketching out tcp/ip. I really want to get graphics working nicely first, fix the bugs in the basic kernel functionality and tidy up the main supported platforms.

I have written (but not tested) the system call code for the networking. I would like to support hardware based tcp/ip (like the Wiznet) as well as software TCP/IP, but it's important they all get the same BSD socket API so applications can't tell what hardware/software is in use.

I cant wait till we have more 8 bitters on the internet. Though, they will see garbage if they visit github in a text-only browser. ssh, yes. www, maybe.

Thanks to all.
