Hello Christian,

I think eCos only comes with LwIP 1.3.2 which does not support IPv6.

For IPv6 support you need to get the latest version, 1.5.0 BETA, or get the current HEAD development version from the GIT repository.

There were some API changes from 1.3.2 to 1.4.0 (1.5.0 API is more or less the same). So you'd have to make some changes to sys_arch.c and related files, and to your netif driver as well. Also include some new source files in your makefile.

IPv6 support is in BETA stage, however some of us have been using it for over 2 years.

Cheers
Ivan

Subject: [lwip-users] lwIP instead of BSD stack regarding IPv6
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"


Hello,


i have a project where IPv6 is required. I have to examine the lwIP?s
TCP/IP stack regarding its IPv6 capability and if it is an alternative
to the BSD stack. Because of having limited memory space on the
embedded target controller, lwIP with the lower footprint is
preferred. Since I am just a rookie I considered to join the mailing
list. I have some questions especially using the IPv6 stack. Are there
any experiences? Or restrictions for using it?? The operating system
in my project is eCos. The current version of the lwIP stack is not
implemented, but v1.3.2.
One concrete question is concerning the address  eCosCentric in the
limitations: ?The DNS client support only returns IPv4 addresses?.
What does this mean?
I hope anybody can help me and has already some experiences about
IPv6. Thank you very much!


Best regards, Christian
