emb6 is a fork of Contiki's uIP without the requirement for proto-threads. As with #3551 this is import is mainly for benchmarking, but maybe some of you are interested in a smaller 6LoWPAN stack.

Still WIP.

  • netdev2 wrapper
  • conn
    • conn_ip wrapper (not done because not simple).
    • conn_udp wrapper

Depends on #4646 (merged).

Any particular reason for not using the http URL here?

(Just realized that in some networks other ports may be blocked, while port 80 is usually open.)

In general: because it's faster than http(s). But when reading the doc I realized that Git made some advancements and has a Smart HTTP protocol now, too.

How can I test? I tried flashing on iotlab-m3 nodes and use ping6, but couldn't see any result (neither success nor failure).

A shell comand to receive pings?

It registers the ping receive callback if not already set, so I would say so, yes.

So without executing this command, the node won't answer with pongs?

Wi pongs you mean echo replies, right? Yes, without calling this command no handling of echo replies is done, as most ping implementations do. Whyshould it expect replies if it did not sent any requests yet?

No, I wrote "won't answer with pongs" (aka ICMP echo replies) and that's not a behavior I've ever seen from a ping implementation.

A node answers to echo requests (regardless of the fact that this command was called or not). Echo replies need not be answered (because they are already answers AKA replies), just handled and I don't know any implementation that handles them without a request send beforehand: Neither does this the GNRC implementation nor do I know any linux host that handles randomly incoming pongs.

Read again: the command description says "Send and receive pings" and my only question was about if I need to perform this command to be able to receive pings.

Ah so the wording is all you wanted to change. Better in the current commit?

I tested with samr21-xpro and it worked. Don't know if there is a significant difference in the radios that could cause this.

Just an update about emb6: according to it's developers its currently based upon https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki/tree/43aeddbd89c7b7a2ba0a8c51ef3c713b2142857c (about a year old, pre v3.0) with plans for an update in "the near future".

FYI: I usually run tests with PR on top of master.

Then you either must wait until the backlog got merged or live with some merge commits here. What way do you prefer?

I don't understand the first variant.

I'm to lazy to rebase all the dependencies, so you have to wait until they got merged ;)

I vote that we make an exception for this PR regarding the feature freeze. But if it's not merged until Sunday, we must postpone.

corrected - thanks @kaspar030

Do we want to find out what happens on @emmanuelsearch's machine before merging or should we make a follow-up of that?

let me try again.

still the same error. Something must be broken in my setup.
If it works for other people, I'd say: let's merge it.
I will try to narrow down on my problem, and open an issue later if need be.
