VALGRIND SUPPORT
================
If you want to use valgrind, you should recompile native with either
HAVE_VALGRIND_H or HAVE_VALGRIND_VALGRIND_H depending on the location
of the valgrind header (i.e. <valgrind.h> or <valgrind/valgrind.h>)
like this:
CFLAGS="-DHAVE_VALGRIND_VALGRIND_H" make
That way native can tell valgrind about RIOTs stacks and prevent
valgrind from reporting lots of false positives.
Usage:
Simply pass the ordinary command to valgrind like this:
valgrind ./bin/RIOT.elf tap0
This will yield some information whenever valgrind detects an invalid
memory access.
In order to debug the program when this occurs you can pass the
--db-attach parameter to valgrind like this:
valgrind --db-attach=yes ./bin/RIOT.elf tap0
Now, you will be asked whether you would like to attach the running
process to gdb whenever a problem occurs.
In order for this to work under Linux 3.4 or newer, you might need to
disable the ptrace access restrictions:
As root call:
echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope
NETWORK SUPPORT
===============
If you compile RIOT for the native cpu and include the native_net
module, you need to specify a network interface like this:
./bin/default-native.elf tap0
SETTING UP A TAP NETWORK
========================
There is a shellscript in RIOT/cpu/native called tapsetup.sh which you
can use to create a network of tap interfaces.
Usage:
To create a bridge and two (or count at your option) tap interfaces:
./tapsetup.sh create [count]
To delete the bridge and all tap interfaces:
./tapsetup.sh delete
OSX TAP NETWORKING
==================
For tun/tap networking in OSX you will need:
http://tuntaposx.sourceforge.net/
For OSX there is a seperate script called tapsetup-osx.sh.
Run it, (it instructs you to start the RIOT instances).
In contrast to linux you will need to run 'tapsetup-osx.sh delete'
after killing your instances and rerun 'tapsetup-osx.sh create' before
restarting.
Packet delivery under OSX only works with user assistance at the
moment. run 'kill -SIGIO <RIOT process ID>' to deliver a packet to a
specific RIOT instance.
