[Olsr-dev] olsr0.5.5 ported to RTOS vxWorks from Windriver

[(spam-protected)]

Hi list,

I am happy to announce the fact that OLSR is running fine on the real time
operating system (RTOS) "vxWorks" (BSD based network stack) from Windriver
Systems (www.windriver.com). The port is running on vxWorks6.4.

I ported the OLSR version 0.5.5 to an embedded radio device (PowerPC) and
tested functionality (incl. multihop, HNA) on 5 radios also with multicast
messages.
For multicast I do not use the BMF plugin but a SMF (simplified multicast
forwarding) version adapted and provided with OLSR informations.
Since we have no mass storage device in our system I could not use the
plugin infrastructure from OLSR. I linked some OLSR plugins statically.
The OLSR daemon is running in a single kernel task.
The ported plugins are:
- dot_draw
- dyn_gw
- httpinfo
And, of course, the base OLSR software with BSD stack interface. The kernel
routing table is modified by OLSR.
The porting is mostly done by adding #ifdef's.

During porting I found some bugs/corrections (e.g. adding/deleting kernel
routes from BSD).
I do have permission to give this port to the community. So if anyone has
interest I would do this ;-)

I probably nedd to setup a Mercurial View? (Need to do that from somewhere
else, because port numbers are blocked here)

Thomas
