Subject: [Icc-430] Polling for the Future... TCP/IP stack
Message-ID: <200811130912.mAD9C7sE083395@mail.imagecraft.com>

Now that eMOS for AVR (http://www.imagecraft.com/pub/emos_avr.pdf) is 
in beta, time to polish off the crystal balls some more. I have a 
consultant looking at CANLIB for AVR already. I'd think that a 
robust, fast, small, full-feature TCP/IP stack is high on the list of 
things we should do. Problem there is there are 4 qualifiers there, 
and as they usually say, you have 2 out of 3, or 3 out of 4. So what 
features would you want in a TCP/IP stack?

A compiler tie-in is that someone suggested that we provide some sort 
of API so that a program can take a web page HTML with embedded 
references to C variables, e.g.

...// html stuff ...
.... @foo:bar ...


where bar is a local variable in foo, and the API would expand the 
value at runtime. I am not sure what kind of variable reference we 
can allow yet, but you get the idea. Yay or nay?

Comments and suggestions always welcome.
