Lwip echoserver #25

lucypa · 2022-03-18T01:28:20Z

This is a simple 2 component echo server with a driver in one address space and the network stack and echo server in the other. This has been benchmarked and tested on the imx8mm-evk and Haswell3 systems.
Corresponding PRs are:

I've added the "Test with:" in the description, so the github CI run will use these PRs.

can't we just use the boolean flags

Suggested change

let's give it a clear error message here for anything else and avoid potentially undefined default behavior

else() message(FATAL_ERROR "Unsupported architecture: '${KernelArch}'.") endif()

It this just a copy paste from somewhere? Maybe add a comment about this, that this is just optional to set a specific build ID. The kernel is using -Wl,--build-id=none" # Ensure reproducible builds here.

PLease add the note again that this is the next 2^n for the 1500 byte MTU. I assume that this buffer size is independent of the buffer size that ius set it the other PRs, might be good to mention this in the comment also, so it's clear there are not pitfalls in here.

Can you add a note why exactly this value is chosen? Is it random or related to TCP headers?

Same here, is it random or related to UDP headers?

Can you add a comment how the heap is used, so there is a rough explanation what influcenses this?

I wonder, is there a way to have one common generic CAmkES file with the server that includes the platform specific driver files? So this can be extended to other platforms easily without copy/pasting common things?

Shouldn't this be set only for KernelArchARM - if this must be set at all?

What is the purpose of this include? It causes a lot of compiler errors and removing it seems to fix them.

kent-mcleod · 2022-03-25T06:22:07Z

I was able to successfully test this with imx8mm, but not able to yet with x86_64. Are there any special configuration options required for x86_64?

@kent-mcleod Yes sorry i was missing one patch. It should work now with normal configurations with KernelExportPMCUser on.

Does 0x400920 have an meaning actually or could this be simply "1" also?
