I've gone through and cleaned up the TFTP driver so that it fits
into the libio system. Here's the comment from the new driver:
/*
* Usage:
*
* To open `/bootfiles/image' on `hostname' for reading:
* fd = open ("/TFTP/hostname/bootfiles/image", O_RDONLY);
*
* The `hostname' can be a symbolic name or four
* dot-separated decimal values.
*
* To open a file on the host which supplied the BOOTP
* information just leave the `hostname' part empty:
* fd = open ("/TFTP//bootfiles/image", O_RDONLY);
*

You can `fopen' TFTP files the same way:
fp = fopen (fullname, "r");
nread = fread (cbuf, sizeof cbuf[0], sizeof cbuf, fp);
The diff's are included below. I've also modified the TFTP demo
program and the bootstrap PROM example. They should be on my ftp
site `soon'.
The one thing I don't like is the way I had to do an end-run on the
libio routines to get errno passed back from my driver to the
application (since there are some errno codes that don't map to RTEMS
status codes). My approach was to set errno in the driver and have
the driver routine return an RTEMS status code that I `know' isn't in
the errno_assoc[] in libio.c.
Perhaps there should be an RTEMS_TRANPARENT_ERRNO status code (or
something similar) which driver routines could return to indicate
that the driver routine has set errno and that the libio routines
shouldn't attempt to map the returned status code to errno.
Actually, I think the entire I/O system needs looking at -- as
you've already mentioned. The hacks I've dropped in to syscalls.c to
make fstat work, for example, are *not* shining examples of good
code......
After weeks of trying to figure why my RTEMS/KASQ server crashes now
and then I found a nasty bug I introduced in adding multiple-driver
support to libio. The bug only affects `add-on' driver classes (like
the networking code). Old-style file descriptors were not affected.
The bug cleared 32 bytes of memory (unspecified location) whenever a
`close' of a socket was performed! I was clearing an IOP I hadn't
allocated -- and the pointer wasn't initiallized, either!
(Sapporo, Japan) submitted the extended console driver for the

This device driver supports four serial ports, cooked IO, and
provides a portable base for Zilog 8530 based console drivers.
was done based on the 3.6.0 release and had to be autoconf'ed locally.
It is turned on is the bsp enables it and it is not explicitly disabled
via the configure option --disable-tcpip. As many warnings as possible
were removed locally after the code was merged. Only the gen68360

The ka9q port and network driver were submitted by Eric Norum

The network demo programs are not included in the tree at this point.

which needed to be addressed.
