Networking support in L4Re #23

Open Ankush-Pathak opened 1 year ago

Ankush-Pathak commented 1 year ago

Is there a plan to provide networking drivers in the L4Re distribution? If not, what is the best way to engineer networking support for L4Re applications running on an RPi4?

Hi, currently there are no networking drivers. What is typically done here is to use a VM with Linux to get an easy way to networking. Are you looking specifically for networking in an L4Re app or just general networking availability?

I am looking for networking support in an L4Re app. Are you aware of any third-party codebases that implement networking for L4Re apps? I read in one of the mailing list threads that L4Re had lwip support. Do you think an older L4Re version with lwip will work on a Pi 4?

Hi. The current snapshot from l4re.org contains a current lwip variant. What would be missing is a network driver for the rpi4, however, a Linux VM can be used here as well.
