[RFC 11/12] sandbox_defconfig: switch to picotcp

[Antony Pavlov]

Picotcp sandbox barebox howto
=============================

Compile sandbox barebox:

  $ cd barebox.git
  $ unset ARCH
  $ unset CROSS_COMPILE
  $ make sandbox_defconfig
  ...
  $ make

Run barebox:

  $ su
  # ./barebox

Testing ping
------------

While sandbox barebox is running setup a IP-address
for your host 'barebox' network interface, e.g.:

  # ifconfig barebox 192.168.1.1

Next, in sandbox barebox console setup network interface
and try to ping host:

  barebox:/ ifconfig eth 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
  Assigned ipv4 192.168.1.2 to device eth
  barebox:/ picoping 192.168.1.1
  48 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=1 ms
  ...
  48 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_req=10 ttl=64 time=0 ms

Testing domain name resolving
-----------------------------

Install simple maradns name server on the host.

Edit /etc/maradns/mararc config file, add these lines:

  csv2 = {}
  csv2["example.com."] = "db.example.com"

  bind_address = "192.168.1.1"

Edit /etc/maradns/db.example.com, add these lines:

  example.com. 192.168.1.1 ~
  www.example.com. 192.168.1.1 ~
  barebox.example.com. 192.168.1.2 ~

Run sandbox barebox and setup the www.example.com IP-address
for your host 'barebox' network interface, e.g.:

  # ifconfig barebox 192.168.1.1

Restart maradns:

  $ /etc/init.d/maradns restart

Check name resolution:

  barebox at barebox sandbox:/ ifconfig eth 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0
  Assigned ipv4 192.168.1.2 to device eth
  barebox at barebox sandbox:/ net.nameserver=192.168.1.1
  barebox at barebox sandbox:/ host barebox.example.com
  barebox.example.com is at 192.168.1.2
  barebox at barebox sandbox:/ host www.example.com
  www.example.com is at 192.168.1.1

The same checks for barebox legacy network stack:

  barebox at barebox sandbox:/ eth0.ipaddr=192.168.1.2
  barebox at barebox sandbox:/ eth0.serverip=192.168.1.1
  barebox at barebox sandbox:/ net.domainname=example.com
  barebox at barebox sandbox:/ net.nameserver=192.168.1.1
  barebox at barebox sandbox:/ host barebox.example.com
  warning: No MAC address set. Using random address 9a:a1:86:31:05:1e
  barebox.example.com is at 192.168.1.2
  barebox at barebox sandbox:/ host www.example.com
  www.example.com is at 192.168.1.1

Testing dhcp (ad memorandum)
----------------------------

Configure your host dhcp server, e.g. add this
to your /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf:

  subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.26 192.168.1.29;
    option routers 192.168.1.1;
    option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
    default-lease-time 600;
    max-lease-time 7200;
  }

While sandbox barebox is running setup a IP-address
for your host 'barebox' network interface and restart
your host dhcp server, e.g.:

  # ifconfig barebox 192.168.1.1
  # /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server restart

Next, in your sandbox barebox console run 'dhclient':

  barebox:/ dhclient eth
  Assigned ipv4 0.0.0.0 to device eth
  Assigned ipv4 192.168.1.26 to device eth
  DHCP client: renewal time (T1) 300
  DHCP client: rebinding time (T2) 525
  DHCP client: lease time 496
  DHCP client: IP assigned by the server: 192.168.1.26
