092b6f3baa platform/minimal-net: Implement better idle behavior.
The minimal-net target, as currently written, wakes up the
CPU every millisecond to check for packets, and will only
react in real-time to input from stdin. If you are running
this on a laptop battery, your battery will quickly drain.

This change allows the CPU to idle when there is literally
nothing to do while still being responsive to input from
stein and/or incoming packets. This fix should significantly
improve performance while significantly improving power
usage. Win-win.

Also added `_xassert()` implementation so that the contiki-
provided `assert()` macro will work properly when used
on this platform.

944537fccf Removed all old RCS tags in the Contiki source tree. Those RCS tags are not used any more, as we are now using git to manage the Contiki source tree 2012-10-26 15:54:49 +02:00

1cda3da17e Converted u8_t to uint8_t and u16_t to uint16_t in the cpu directory. 2012-02-21 08:33:24 -05:00

5f3296e943 Changed packet drivers from services to plain processes.
Now tcpip_output() is a function pointer that is supposed to be set via the macro tcpip_set_outputfunc(). Packet drivers do so on process startup.

Thus if there are several packet drivers in a Contiki system the one started last is the one actually used. This behaviour is especially useful for the 'IP forwarding' "meta" packet driver.
