Hi all,
I have just spent the day hacking, and have finished off some bits and
pieces, and commited them into CVS. As CVS mail reporting doesn't seem to
be wroking while doa.org is down, here is a summary of what I have
commited.
Tweaked the bioshd driver to make sure it still works when hd is disabled.
Added byteorder functions required by romfs. romfs now compiles, but does
not seem to work yet.
Added a basic pseudo tty driver. This almost certainly does not work in a
standard way, but was enough for me to hack together a terminal program for
nano-X.
Loads of socket code. I have added lots of code from Linux 1.2 which gives
elks the socket layer api, and I started on getting unix sockets working
under ELKS. I also took the unix socket code, and used it to write code for
a new type socket called nano sockets. These work very like unix domain
sockets, but they don't use a filename as their address, they have a single
integer as their address instead. This makes the code very small and
simple. I have tested these, and they appear to work. The main purpose to
this socket family is to provide an inexpensive way of running nano-X on
ELKS.
