New discovery: Contiki also uses timer 0. With almost the same interface
as Arduino. So we now completely get rid of wiring.c (only the main
file, the other wiring_xxx stay) and implement Arduino timer, delay, etc
in terms of the corresponding Contiki routines. Verified that now delay
works as expected. The LED in examples/osd/arduino-sketch blinks!
Before this, the arduino_init routine in wiring.c destroyed the timer-0
initialization of contiki, making both, contiki timer implementation
*and* contiki timer implementation fail if the arduino_init routine was
called. Now both work.
Squashed with following bug-fix commit.
We can now directly compile arduino sketches (.pde) files.
Arduino compatible analogWrite works now.
But there is still a long way to go, serial I/O and timer stuff (delay,
millis etc) currently don't work (not tested but I don't expect this to
work).
It can be used in an arduino sketch or in a normal contiki program.
We get a PWM frequency of 490.2 Hz (a period of 2.040 ms), that's
Arduino compatible. If you need different frequencies see native timer
usage in examples/osd/pwm-example
In a contiki program you have to call arduino_pwm_timer_init to
initialize the timer before pwm works. The arduino sketch wrapper
already does this.
For running a sketch, see examples/osd/arduino-sketch
New application and new example.
We use the built-in timer routines and add an offset to get the
wallclock time. The offset can be set by time-changing routines
(currently only settimeofday).
We also maintain an offset for timezone handling but this isn't
currently fully implemented.
Currently, the observe value for a response to a GET observe request is always set to zero. That may cause the subsequent notification to have the same observe value. In fact, that happens every time an observable resource is observed for the first time (since the obs_counter is implicitly initialized to zero).
This patch fixes such a problem by setting the observe option value of responses to obs_counter (and then incrementing it).
type process_data_t. This was an artifact when the choice was
made to use the void * type for the data parameter in processes.
Changed parameter 'void * data' of process_post_synch to
process_data_t for consistency.
Checked all the uses of process_start() in contiki and fixed casts
of the data parameter.
This proposed MACRO simplifies jsontree_array declarations. It takes as arguments the name of the array and its size. ( I've modified the indention as requested )
- Up to now the CTK program handler was necessary to start wget and forward the URL. Now alternatively the webbrowser uses the underlying OS to exec wget.
- Up to now windowed CTK was necessary to display the acknowledge dialog. Now alternatively the webbrowser displays the acknowledge text and buttons right in the webpage area.
- For now the targets 'win32' and 'c64' make use of the new capabilities.
Twitter removed http basic auth from the api in august 2010, but this
underlying code is a good example of doing http basic auth in contiki.
The app has been renamed, and some fixes applied to make it build
cleanly.
Hidden form fields are aded to the page attribute buffer like text form fields so there's no need for special treatment in formsubmit(). However they are not added as widgets to the window so there's no user interaction.
from uint16_t which breaks builds of WITH_COAP=3 or 7.
This patch changes the 03 and 07 engine to int32_t.
An alternate fix would be to switch out the type in erbuim.h based on
WITH_COAP.
Or, maybe better, would be to drop old COAP versions.
This patch updates the DNS resolver to support IPv6 and introduces an
improved API for looking up DNS entries. This patch also adds optional
support for mDNS lookups and responses to the DNS resolver.
Here is a quick summary of the changes:
* Added support for IPv6 lookups.
* DNS queries now honor record expiration.
* Added support for mDNS, compatible with "Bonjour".
* Implemented a new lookup api, `resolv_lookup2()`, which provides
more information about the state of the record(error, expired,
looking-up, etc.).
About mDNS/Bonjour Support
--------------------------
This patch adds basic support for mDNS/Bonjour, which allows you to
refer to the name of a device instead of its IP address. This is
incredibly convenient for IPv6 addresses because they tend to be very
long and difficult to remember. It is especially important for
link-local IPv6 addresses, since not all programs support the '%'
notation for indicating a network interface (required on systems with
more than one network interface to disambiguate).
In other words, instead of typing in this:
* `http://[fe80::58dc:d7ed:a644:628f%en1]/`
You can type this instead:
* `http://contiki.local/`
Huge improvement, no?
The convenience extends beyond that: this mechanism can be used for
nodes to talk to each other based on their human-readable names instead
of their IPv6 addresses. So instead of a switch on
`aaaa::58dc:d7ed:a644:628f` triggering an actuator on
`aaaa::ed26:19c1:4bd2:f95b`, `light-switch.local` can trigger the
actuator on `living-room-lights.local`.
What you need to do to be able to look up `.local` names on your
workstation depends on a few factors:
* Your machine needs to be able to send and receive multicast packets
to and from the LoWPAN. You can do this easily with the Jackdaw
firmware on an RZUSBStick. If you have a border router, you will need
it to bridge the mDNS multicast packets across the border.
* If you are using a Mac, you win. All Apple devices support mDNS
lookups.
* If you are using Windows, you can install Apple's Bonjour for Windows
package. (This may be already installed on your machine if you have
installed iTunes) After you install this you can easily do `.local`
lookups.
* If you are using a Unix machine, you can install Avahi.
The default hostname is set to `contiki.local.`. You can change the
hostname programmatically by calling `resolv_set_hostname()`. You can
change the default hostname by changing `CONTIKI_CONF_DEFAULT_HOSTNAME`.
You may disable mDNS support by setting `RESOLV_CONF_SUPPORTS_MDNS` to
`0`.
---------------------------------
core/net/resolv: `resolv_lookup2()` -> `resolv_lookup()`
Note that this patch should fix several `resolv_lookup()` bugs
that already existed. There were many cases where `resolv_lookup()`
was being called and the IP address ignored, but later code
assumed that the IP address had been fetched... ANYWAY, those
should be fixed now.
---------------------------------
examples/udp-ipv6: Updated client to use MDNS to lookup the server.
Also updated the Cooja regression test simulation.
- Up to now the web browser used several fixed size arrays to hold the various types attribute data of the web page. This turned out to be way to inflexible for any non-trivial web page. Therefore now all attribute data is stored in a single buffer one after the other as they arrive from the parser only occupying the memory actually needed. This allows for pages with many links with rather short URLs as well as pages with few link with long URLs as well as pages with several simple forms as well as pages with one form with many form inputs.
- Using the actual web page buffer to hold the text buffers of text entry fields was in general a cool idea but in reality it is often necessary to enter text longer than the size of the text entry field. Therefore the text buffer is now stored in the new unified attribute data buffer.
- Splitting up the process of canonicalizing a link URL and actually navigating to the resulting URL allowed to get rid of the 'tmpurl' buffer used during form submit. Now the form action is canonicalized like a usual link, then the form input name/value pairs are written right into the 'url' buffer and afterwards the navigation is triggered.
- Support for the 'render states' was completely removed. The only actually supported render state was centered output. The new unified attribute buffer would have complicated enumerating all widgets added to the page in order to adjust their position. Therefore I decided to drop the whole feature as the <center> tag is barely used anymore and newer center attributes are to hard to parse.
In general it seems a bad idea to have two http-strings.c files as this precludes to have them both in the Contiki library. However as it stands it seems most reasonable to have one http-strings.c file be a clean superset of all usecases in order to allow them to run together in a single binary. As webserver/http-strings.c already contained strings not present in webbrowser/http-strings.c it seems reasonable to consider webserver/http-strings.c as the superset described. From that perspective it is appropriate to remove all strings from webbrowser/http-strings.c which are not used by the web browser in order to save memory otherwise wasted.
The tag <div> (in contrast to the tag <span>) is normally used to denote content placed on a line by its own. So it makes sense to trigger a newline when </div> is processed.
The "normal" web is moving forward quickly reducing the interoperability of the Contiki web browser to nearly zero. The Mobile Web fits the capabilities of the Contiki web browser much better. Modern smartphones don't need the Mobile Web anymore but there are large areas in world with rather low end mobile phones and limited mobile bandwidth where the Mobile Web will be necessary for quite some time.
From that perspective it is reasonable to increase the Contiki web browser's interoperability with the Mobie Web - namely WAP 2.0 aka XHTML MP. XHTML MP is delivered as MIME types 'application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml' or 'application/xhtml+xml'. Therefore we (try to) parse the document if the MIME type contains the substring 'html' (which is true 'text/html' too).
declarations of functions for setting and getting a node ID number, a
functionality that exists on many platforms. Since this functionality
was not considered part of the Contiki core, each platform defined its
own node-id.h file. This commit attempts to clean this up by
collecting the node-id.h into a core/sys/node-id.h file that replaces
the old node-id.h files from the platform directories.
* Simple HTTP webservice with support for both receiving and sending HTTP requests.
* json-ws example that optionally push sensor data to COSM over IPv6.
