I recently posted an inquiry on the net: > I'm looking for an implementation of TCP/IP that I can run on a Motorola > MVME-147 board under pSOS. > > The MVME 147 has the LANCE chipset, and a 68030 CPU. pSOS is a real-time > kernel. Any code that I can bash into submission is welcome. It does > not have to fit the 147 board and pSOS like a glove but the closer the > better :-) Here is a summary of what I've been able to find: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At Spider we have written a TCP (and X.25, by the way)which runs in Unix V.3 streams. We have also written a 'clean' (no AT&T code) version of streams as a 'stand-alone' package. This has enabled us to port it to a variety of simple exec's, and from what I know of pSOS, the job should take very little time indeed. Nick Felisiak nick@spider.co.uk Spider Systems Ltd +44 31 554 9424 Stanwell Street Edinburgh EH6 5JQ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ VxWorks can run with VRTX, pSOS or our own kernel (Wind), and is available for a wide range of VME based 680x0 targets. Nigel Standing Wind River Systems Technical Support e-mail: support@wrs.com [[Another response said try inquiries@wrs.COM (sun!wrs!inquiries)]] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Berkeley more-or-less gives away what is may be the highest quality TCP/IP implementation. The contact there is Claire LeDonne (415) 643-7201. Terms are liberal. It is of course designed to work with 4.3BSD, but is said to be easy to port. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you are willing to try something different from pSOS, you might want to try the OS-9 Operating system from Microware Systems Corporation. They have a very nice TCP/IP implementation with a Berkeley-style socket interface and the TCP is based on the Berkeley 4.3-tahoe release. Very up to date, highly modular and reconfigurable. I know, I wrote it ;-). The MVME-147 was one of the first two CPU cards we had up with the full TCP/IP/Sockets package. It does fit "like a glove". I believe you may find that OS-9 has a lot of other advantages over pSOS depending on your application. Contact: Mary Jo Marturello Microware Systems Corp. 1844 NW 114th St. Des Moines, IA 50322 (515)224-1929 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I also found some old stuff that came out of MITRE in the early 80's. It does not come with a LANCE driver and is written for the CMOS kernel.
