overhaul of the RTEMS system call interface. This base file system is
the "In-Memory File System" aka IMFS.
The design and implementation was done by the following people:
+ Joel Sherrill (joel@OARcorp.com)
+ Jennifer Averett (jennifer@OARcorp.com)
+ Steve "Mr Mount" Salitasc (salitasc@OARcorp.com)
+ Kerwin Wade (wade@OARcorp.com)
PROBLEMS
========
+ It is VERY likely that merging this will break the UNIX port. This
can/will be fixed.
+ There is likely some reentrancy/mutual exclusion needed.
+ Eventually, there should be a "mini-IMFS" description table to
eliminate links, symlinks, etc to save memory. All you need to
have "classic RTEMS" functionality is technically directories
and device IO. All the rest could be left out to save memory.
I use the m68k/efi332 BSP together with a home made board. After some
time of debugging I found that the m68020 CPU is used to build rtems.
This is not correct, because the 68332 does not have some of the 68020
features (no separate int stack ...). It is necessary to change this to
mcpu32. After a clean/make everything works fine.
Here is a cosmetic patch which corrects a few spelling problems in parts
written by me.
Apparently, I must have written these under the influence of ether (:-)
1) Socket timeout field changed from `short' to `long'. This makes longer
timeouts possible. With a 1 kHz system clock the old system allowed
timeouts only up to a little over 30 seconds! This change is a
slightly cleaned-up version of the patch proposed by Ian Lance Taylor.
2) Major changes to BOOTP/DHCP reply handling. Now supports much of
RFC2132. These changes were done at the request of, and with the
assistance of, Erik Ivanenko.
If you're making changes, you might want to change the network
supplement Essentially just do a global search and replace of BOOTP
with BOOTP/DHCP.
