>Overview</H2
><P
>The synthetic target ethernet package can provide up to four network
devices, <TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>eth0</TT
> to <TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>eth3</TT
>. These can
be used directly by the eCos application or, more commonly, by a
TCP/IP stack that is linked with the eCos application. Each eCos
device can be mapped on to a real Linux network device. For example,
if the Linux PC has two ethernet cards and <TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>eth1</TT
> is
not currently being used by Linux itself, then one of the eCos devices
can be mapped on to this Linux device. Alternatively, it is possible
to map some or all of the eCos devices on to the ethertap support
provided by the Linux kernel.
    </P
><P
>The ethernet package depends on the I/O auxiliary provided by the
synthetic target architectural HAL package. During initialization the
eCos application will attempt to instantiate the desired devices, by
sending a request to the auxiliary. This will load a Tcl script
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>ethernet.tcl</TT
> that is responsible for handling the
instantiation request and subsequent I/O operations, for example
transmitting an ethernet packet. However, some of the low-level I/O
operations cannot conveniently be done by a Tcl script so
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>ethernet.tcl</TT
> will actually run a separate program
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>rawether</B
> to interact with the Linux network device.

>On the target-side there are configuration options to control which
network devices should be present. For many applications a single
device will be sufficient, but if the final eCos application is
something like a network bridge then the package can support multiple
devices. On the host-side each eCos network device needs to be mapped
on to a Linux one, either a real ethernet device or an ethertap
device. This is handled by an entry in the target definition file:

>Before a synthetic target eCos application can access ethernet devices
it is necessary to build and install host-side support. The relevant
code resides in the <TT

subdirectory of the synthetic target ethernet package, and building it
involves the standard <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>configure</B
>,
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make</B
> and <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make install</B
> steps.
The build involves a new executable <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>rawether</B
> which
must be able to access a raw Linux network device. This is achieved by
installing it suid root, so the <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>make install</B

has to be run with superuser privileges.

>There are two main ways of building the host-side software. It is
possible to build both the generic host-side software and all
package-specific host-side software, including the ethernet support,
in a single build tree. This involves using the
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>configure</B
> script at the toplevel of the eCos
repository. For more information on this, see the
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>README.host</TT
> file at the top of the repository.
Note that if you have an existing build tree which does not include
the synthetic target ethernet support then it will be necessary to
rerun the toplevel configure script: the search for appropriate
packages happens at configure time.
    </P
><P
>The alternative is to build just the host-side for this package.
This requires a separate build directory, building directly in the
source tree is disallowed. The <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>configure</B
> options
are much the same as for a build from the toplevel, and the
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>README.host</TT
> file can be consulted for more
details. It is essential that the ethernet support be configured with
the same <TT
CLASS="OPTION"
>--prefix</TT
> option as other eCos host-side
software, especially the I/O auxiliary provided by the architectural
synthetic target HAL package, otherwise the I/O auxiliary will be
unable to locate the ethernet support.

>Real Ethernet</H2
><P
>One obvious way of providing a synthetic target eCos application with
ethernet I/O is to use a real ethernet device in the PC: transmitted
packets go out on a real network, and packets on the network addressed
to the right MAC address are passed on to eCos. This way synthetic
target networking behaves just like networking on a real target with
ethernet hardware. For example, if there is a DHCP server anywhere on
the network then eCos will be able to contact it during networking
startup and get hold of IP address information.

>It is not possible for an ethernet device to be shared by both the
eCos TCP/IP stack and the Linux one: there would be no simple way to
work out which stack incoming packets are intended for. In theory
it might be possible to do some demultiplexing using distinct IP
addresses, but it would be impossible to support some functionality
such as DHCP. Therefore the <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>rawether</B
> program will
refuse to access any ethernet device already in use. On a typical
Linux system <TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>eth0</TT

networking, and the PC will have to be equipped with additional
ethernet devices for use by eCos.
    </P
><P
>The <B
CLASS="COMMAND"

the appropriate Linux device driver, so it is important that the
system is set up such that the relevant module will be automatically
loaded or is already loaded. The details of this will depend on the
installed distribution and version, but typically it will involve an
entry in <TT

>Ethertap</H2

>The Linux kernel's ethertap facility provides a virtual network
interface. A Linux application, for example the
<B
CLASS="COMMAND"

> program, can open a special character
device <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/dev/net/tun</TT

<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"

> calls, and then <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>write</TT

and <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>read</TT
> ethernet packets. When the device is
opened the Linux kernel automatically creates a new network interface,
for example <TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>tap0</TT
>. The Linux TCP/IP stack can be
made to use this network interface like any other interface, receiving
and transmitting ethernet packets. The net effect is a virtual network
connecting just the Linux and eCos TCP/IP stacks, with no other nodes
attached. By default all traffic remains inside this virtual network
and is never forwarded to a real network.
    </P
><P
>Support for the ethertap facility may or may not be provided
automatically, depending on your Linux distribution and version. If
your system does not have a device <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/dev/net/tun</TT

or a module <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>tun.o</TT
> then the appropriate kernel
documentation should be consulted, for example
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/src/linux-2.4/Documentation/networking/tuntap.txt</TT
>.
If you are using an old Linux kernel then the ethertap functionality
may be missing completely. When the <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>rawether</B
>
program is configured and built, the <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>configure</B
>
script will check for a file <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/include/linux/if_tun.h</TT

file is missing then <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>rawether</B
> will be built without
ethertap functionality, and only real ethernet interfaces will be
supported.

>The user now knows exactly which eCos device is mapped onto which
Linux device, avoiding much potential confusion. Because the virtual
devices are emulated ethernet devices, they require MAC addresses.
There is no physical hardware to provide these addresses, so normally
MAC addresses will be invented. That means that each time the eCos
application is run it will have different MAC addresses, which makes
it more difficult to compare the results of different runs. To get
more deterministic behaviour it is possible to specify the MAC
addresses in the target definition file:

it may be possible to arrange for the network interface to become
active automatically. On a Red Hat Linux system this would require

>It should be noted that the ethertap facility provides a virtual
network, and any packets transmitted by the eCos application will
not appear on a real network. Therefore usually there will no
accessible DHCP server, and eCos cannot use DHCP or BOOTP to obtain IP
address information. Instead the eCos configuration should use manual
or static addresses.
    </P
><P
>An alternative approach would be to set up the Linux box as a network
bridge, using commands like <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>brctl</B
> to connect the
virtual network interface <TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>tap3</TT
> to a physical
network interface such as <TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>eth0</TT
>. Any packets sent by
the eCos application will get forwarded automatically to the real
network, and some packets on the real network will get forwarded over
the virtual network to the eCos application. Note that the eCos
application might also get some packets that were not intended for it,
but usually those will just be discarded by the eCos TCP/IP stack. The
exact details of setting up a network bridge are left as an exercise
to the reader.

>Packet Logging</H2
><P
>The ethernet support comes with support for logging the various
packets that are transferred, including a simple protocol analyser.
This generates simple text output using the filter mechanisms provided
by the I/O auxiliary, so it is possible to control the appearance and
visibility of different types of output. For example the user might
want to see IPv4 headers and all ICMPv4 and ARP operations, but not
TCP headers or any of the packet data.
    </P
><P
>The protocol analyser is not intended to be a fully functional
analyser with knowledge of many different TCP/IP protocols, advanced
search facilities, graphical traffic displays, and so on.
Functionality like that is already provided by other tools such as
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>ethereal</SPAN
> and
<SPAN
CLASS="APPLICATION"
>tcpdump</SPAN
>. Achieving similar levels of
functionality would require a lot of work, for very little gain. It is
still useful to have some protocol analysis functionality available
because the output will be interleaved with other output, for example
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>printf</TT
> calls from the application. That may make
it easier to understand the sequence of events.
    </P
><P
>One problem with logging ethernet traffic is that it can involve very
large amounts of data. If the application is expected to run for a
long time or is very I/O intensive then it is easy to end up with many
megabytes. When running in graphical mode all the logging data will be
held in memory, even data that is not currently visible. At some point
the system will begin to run low on memory and performance will
suffer. To avoid problems, the ethernet script maintains a flag that
controls whether or not packet logging is active. The default is to
run with logging disabled, but this can be changed in the target
definition file:
