The other applications using `sock_dns` do it too
(`tests/gnrc_sock_dns` and `tests/gnrc_ipv6_nib_dns`) and besides it
doesn't make much sense to include RDNSS option support
(aka `gnrc_ipv6_nib_dns`) just because someone uses the DNS client
(aka `sock_dns`). This dependency will be removed in a later commit.
Optionally executes pyterm from CDC-ECM start_network.sh
The shell script exits and cleans up instantly unless there is a
blocking program running at the end. Users can supply a serial port to
display in pyterm, or alternatively just wait if it is a "headless"
deployment.
Native supports multiple ZEP devices, so add a config option for it to
gnrc_border_router.
This allows for easier testing of border routers with multiple interfaces.
This adds an example configuration to use the gnrc_border_router to route
between a regular WiFi network and an esp_now network.
All you need is an esp based board (esp8266, esp32).
Configure the access data for your WiFi network in `Makefile.esp.conf`,
then run
make BOARD=esp32-wroom-32 USE_ETHOS=0 USE_ESP=1 flash term
to turn a e.g. `esp32-wroom-32` into a boarder router.
You can use other esp based boards as nodes in the network by flashing
e.g. the `gnrc_networking` example.
Be sure to add `CFLAGS += -DGNRC_IPV6_NIB_CONF_SLAAC=1` as otherwise
your esp_now node will not receive a link-local IP address.
pic32 boards now provide an UART, and this the periph_uart feature
ruuvitag/thingy52 provide the periph_uart feature so stdio_uart can work
on these boards.
- Decluttered Makefile by moving BOARD_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY lists from Makefile
to Makefile.ci
- Optimized the list for use of tools:
- One entry per line reduces the number of merge conflicts
- One entry per line allows alphabetical sorting e.g. via Vim's sort command
- Sorted all lists alphabetically
The default channel configuration is managed within the Makefiles of many
examples and tests. This commit moves the default channel logic to
`makefiles/default-channel.ink.mk` to ease maintenance. All Makefiles that
previously managed the default channel configuration themself have been
updated to include that file.
The default channel configuration of the cc110x has been added
- Removed cc110x driver
- Updated all makefiles
- Kept both board specific configurations and support for it in RIOT's
upper layers, so re-implementations don't need to start from zero
The mips-malta board is a maintainance burden, has no working UART input
and is unobtainable and thus must be removed.
1. Unobtainable board
=====================
The mips-malta board is not an off-the-shelf part. A quick web
search only show the MIPS website where one is told to "contact sales".
I could find it on ebay, used, at €155 and from single seller.
Not having access to the board means:
a. We cannot maintain it. In fact it could be broken right now.
b. Potential RIOT uses have not access to the board either. In other
words, it is pointless to run on hardware nobody has.
2. No working UART input
========================
Not all applications need UART input, but that is no excuse for not supporting
it:
a. Makes development & debugging way harder.
b. It is impossible to run interactive tests.
b.1. Constrains the rest of the platforms by providing an incentive to not
make tests interactive.
c. The lack of UART is a witness to the poor quality of the port.
I want to stress point (c). If something as basic as a serial port cannot work,
how can we expect more complex fucntionality to work. The answer is impossible
to know, because of point (1).
3. Maintainance burden
======================
The RIOT project has limited time and human resources which can be better spent.
a. Compiling for mips-malta wastes CPU time.
b. Blacklisting the board in the test wastes contributor's time.
c. Adapting the board's makefile during build system rework takes time and makes
the reworks harder.
c.1. Add to that that the changes are most of the time not even tested on the board
because of (1). Look at the github issues/PRs and you will see it.
d. Developers usually stick to the lowest common denominator. Issue (2) sets this
denominator unacceptably low.
MIPS platform in general
========================
In commits I will address general issues in the MIPS platform and why it should all
be removed.
Added arduino-nano to BOARD_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY/BOARD_BLACKLIST following suit
of how arduino-uno is marked, as arduino-nano is mostly an Uno in a different
form factor.
Added HiFive1 to BOARD_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY list for examples and tests that are too big to fit
build: fixed missing syscall and cpuid failures
Added missing syscall stubs for nanostubs and fixed compile error with cpuid periph
build: fixed whitespace error
build: add hifive1 to more BOARD_INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY
doc: fixed doxygen warnings
Addressed Doxygen warnings in source file comments
doc: more doxygen fixes
doc: even more doxygen fixes
doc: more changes
build: fix pedantic and rdci_simple build failures
make: exclude lua
