The IP5 usage of ld65 segments and zeropage variables was made compatible with cc65 C programs already a while ago. This commit is the next logical step which is to introduce the actual C interface to IP65.
IP65 for C programs shares the the ip65.lib / ip65_tcp.lib with IP65 for assembler programs. However the various libraries from the 'drivers' are not reused. Instead there's exactly one library for every target named ip65_<target>.lib. Those libraries contain only functions used by ip65.lib / ip65_tcp.lib.
TODOs:
- Introduce c64_timer.s and atr_timer.s.
- Add a C interface to the rest of the IP65 functionality (especially TCP).
So far the sequence number for the first packet after the initial SYN packet was calculated directly before returning from tcp_connect. This is however far to late as the ACK packet to be send as response for the SYN,ACK packet sent by the server already needs that sequence number. Therefore it is now calculated right after a successful reception of the SYN,ACK packet is detected.
The file telnet.s in the 'ip65' directory for sure wasn't belonging into a library as it contained a main loop. So I introduced an 'apps' directory for actual apps coming with IP65. The file telnet.s was moved to apps, renamed telnet65.s and heavily modified.
The file c64vt100.s was made up from several files taken from CaTer (www.opppf.de/Cater) and adjusted for the new use case. The was done before for KIPPERTERM. However this time I deliberately avoided unnecessary code reformatting to allow for as easy as possible integration of potential upcoming changes in CaTer.
The file a2vt100.s was copied from c64vt100.s and adjusted to the monochrome 80 column screen of the Apple //e. Again unnecessary code changes were avoided to allow to easily merge upcoming changes from c64vt100.s.
The files atrvt100.s and vic20vt100.s are for now just dummies to allow to successfully link Telnet65. Work for an actually functional Telnet65 would start with a copy of c64vt100.s (as it was done with a2vt100.s).
So far the error value was set to KPR_ERROR_TIMEOUT_ON_RECEIVE on negative answer from the DNS server. Now KPR_ERROR_DNS_LOOKUP_FAILED (which was already defined) is set.
In general I consider the approach of a netmask length a typical case of over-optimzation - incl. the typical downside of an "unnecessary" bug. However as the optimization is already present I opted to not remove it but rather fix the bug:
So far the gateway was in usual environments only used if the target IP address differed already in the first byte from the local net IP addresses. Now the gateway is used correctly - even for i.e. the address 192.168.1.1 from the local net 192.168.0.x
It's not save to presume any zero page variable to stay intact after using the Ethernet drivers to perform actual network I/O. In example a necessary ARP lookup may require network I/O in not anticipated scenarios. Therefore the tftp_filename is rather to be placed in a normal variable and copied to a zero page variable just-in-time.
Of course one can just always call dns_resolve after dns_set_hostname. But an application might i.e. present a different user feedback depending on the fact if a name resolution is necessary at all. So given that DNS name resolution is already a two phase action it just seems natural to allow an application to read the already exsisting variable.
* CS8900A
The Contiki driver allows to adjust the chip base addr at runtime (which allows to support different slots in the Apple II) and removes received frames from the chip if there's no room to send frames.
* LAN91C96
The Contiki driver was used by IP65 more or less unchanged in the first place.
* W5100
The Contiki driver allows to adjust the chip base addr at runtime (which allows to support different slots in the Apple II) and stays clear from the W5100 hybrid mode. It presumes a fully functional W5100 register auto-increment and pre-calculates necessary W5100 frame buffer wrap-arounds and thus achieves the maximal 6502 <-> W5100 transfer speed.
I have no idea why this BRK was put there in the first place. At least nowadays it's pretty common to see IP packets that IP65 doesn't understand / need to understand. Just think of IGMP packets. We certainly don't want to crash on receiving those!
It's the very purpose of the DATA segment to consolidate all items that potentially need to be copied from ROM to RAM. So there's no need to / point in doing that on a per-item-base.
- Tab chars were partially used with the unusual width of two blanks. I removed them altogether.
- Line endings were inconsistent even iniside individual files. I normalized them.
- I introduced a consistent coding style regarding comment indenting and blank line usage.
- I removed trailing spaces.
- I removed newlines following unnamed labels.
- ...
- Simplify Makefile by allowing to use suffix '_tcp' to denote the requirement to link against TCP-capable IP65 lib.
- Remove 'test' or 'test_' prefix from test program names - every program in 'test' is a test program.
- Have some more test programs switch to lower case charset on the C64.
- I'm no Ruby guy so don't rely on Ruby for building disk images.
