Idea for quick TCP/IP stack
Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2015 9:36 pm
The idea of porting a full blown TCP/IP stack is not trivial. At this point, Visopsys probably doesn't need a full blown bells and whistles stack, but I bet there are times when it would be handy to have networking (for copying stuff during development, etc). I found a micro stack (really intended for embedded applications) - that has a BSD style license, and might work as an interim enabler for TCP/IP. The link is here:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lwip/
It's called lwIP (lightweight IP). I wonder if anybody here has heard of that one. Its gzipped tarball is only about 500k in size. LwIP can be set up for polling or interrupt mode.
