UDP checksums are now off-by-one, and I don't understand why. IP checksum code
appears to be ok, based on a couple of test cases. UDP checksums are based on
the IP checksum code. Additionally, the inline assembler optimisation that I
did does not work, but that can wait for later.
The current code is available in the feature-coap-temp branch.
I would appreciate help with the UDP checksum off-by-one bug, I just cannot see
it.
The IP checksum code is here:
https://github.com/Ell-i/Runtime/blob/feature-coap-temp/stm32/libraries/CoAP/ip_checksum.c
The UDP checksum code is here:
https://github.com/Ell-i/Runtime/blob/feature-coap-temp/stm32/libraries/CoAP/udp.c#L70
A little bit of googling finds lots of references to the actual algorithms.
An example how to use CoAP from "userland" is here:
https://github.com/Ell-i/Runtime/blob/feature-coap-temp/stm32/examples/CoAP/hello_world.cpp
In addition to the off-by-one, there appears to be some bug in ENC28J60
initialisation, so that sometimes when the MCU is initialised the ENC28J60 is
not, and the MCU appears to get old packets from ENC28J60 packet buffers.
Other than these two bugs, the IP/UDP/CoAP is good enough for initial usage.
Hence, once we get these bugs fixed, Eero and others can start putting together
the Runtime with the Arduino IDE, and test it. For early-adopter bloggers that
prefer Makefiles, we will be ready to ship the code earlier.
