In Class C, rx timeout does not take place for RX2 windows, so if we have
not received anything, we would be retrying but if the no. of retries are
maxed out, and we have not recieved anything yet, we need a mechanism to
tell the upper layer that this has happened.
rx_abort() was sort of dead code as it was doing essentially nothing.
It might have actually meddled with the state machine if it was hit by
invoking on_ack_timeout_timer_event().
State machine and corresponding processors now take care of the ack timeout,
retries and all other bits, so we don't need abort_rx().
MCPS confirmation should be filled with the current number of retries
if the ack is not recieved for a CONFIRMED message.
Ack retry number needs to be incremented after the retry is made not before
that.
A few traces are added at the crucial junctions of the code just to tally with
the conceptual flow for debug purposes.
Application can use cancel_sending() API to stop any outstanding, outgoing
transmission (a TX which is not already queued for transmission). This can
potentially enable use cases where the application could cancel a transmission
and go to sleep if the backoff period is long enough rather than waiting for
the transmission to happen.
This API enables the application to get hold of remaining time after which
the transmission will take place. User can query the backoff time whenever
there is a packet in the TX pipe. If the event for the backoff expiry is
already queued, the stack does not provide backoff metadata.
An API is added to fetch any meta-data available after a succesful
transmission. The stack will make the meta data available after the
TX interrupt is processed. User can get the tx meta data after receiving
TX_DONE event.
Subtract 4 from the received packet length - the buffer contains the
CRC, which we shouldn't pass up.
Ensure we allocate receive buffers of a size corresponding to the
rounded-up size we tell the hardware - the hardware was overrunning the
allocation by a couple of bytes.

network stack.

address storage used in DNS address get.
Implementation of unified EMAC driver for Renesas mbed boards
Based on the driver so far, Renesas implemented the emac driver for GR-PEACH and VK-RZ/A1H.
The mainly changes is below.
- Add the connection part with LWIP according to the unified emac specification.
- Add three new multicast functions(add, remove, set_all).
The Greentea test netsocket and emac test passed.
Just checking "does the chip have an EMAC" doesn't work - there are
targets using those chips which do not have an Ethernet connector and
don't provide the necessary surrounding infrastructure (eg DISCO_F429ZI,
not providing the board emac config call, and HEXIWEAR not providing PHY
info).
Make the targets that actually do want EMAC define their own local
Freescale_EMAC and STM_EMAC labels, and move the drivers into
the corresponding TARGET_ directories, removing the #ifdefs.
Checking DEVICE_EMAC is problematic - particularly for the Odin W2 where
apps have been shutting this off to disable the Wi-fi interface.
Make drivers check a locally-relevant flag instead, pending new
thoughts on how to achieve application/test-relevant flagging for
XXX:get_default_instance() being provided by a system.
However that is achieved, drivers do require a flag set purely by the
target - they mustn't be tripped up by an add-on module providing itself
as the system's default EMAC.
Make Nanostack an OnboardNetworkInterface, implementing
add_ethernet_interface so it can use EMAC drivers.
Can now be used via EthernetInterface, and be the system's default
network stack.
Legacy support for NanostackEthernetInterface retained. Some
restructuring of mesh interface code to fit into the
OnboardNetworkStack:::Interface system.
As we've introduced virtual inheritance to support EMACInterface, we can
no longer use C-style casts or static_cast to downcast from
NetworkInterface to more specific types. RTTI is disabled in the
toolchains, so dynamic_cast is unavailables.
Add virtual downcast methods to permit conversions to the 6 derived
classes. Probably only needed for EMACInterface, WiFiInterface and
EthInterface, but handles the set.
The soft device is not consistent as it is required to force the connection to a resolved resolvable address so it should be known if the target is an identity address.
ns_event_loop_thread_start() is incorrectly used at connect() phase, the initial
setup is already done at init() phase and the eventloop thread is correctly initialized.
Also, the usage of ns_event_loop_thread_start() API should be behind MBED_CONF_NANOSTACK_HAL_EVENT_LOOP_DISPATCH_FROM_APPLICATION
flag as application can decide to use main thread for event loop, which will result in linker error for this API call in
case of ARMCC compiler.
This has been superceded by CellularBase. Name change occurred late
in review of https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/4119 and
original unused CellularInterface was left behind.
Rather than let "EthernetInterface" be the base EMAC NetworkInterface,
insert an "EMACInterface" class.
EthernetInterface then derives from EMACInterface and EthInterface.
A Wi-Fi driver can derive from EMACInterface and WiFiInterface - this
will be more logical than deriving from EthernetInterface and
WiFiInterface.
This does mean adding a couple of virtual inheritances to avoid
duplicate NetworkInterfaces:
NetworkInterface

virtual / \ virtual

EMACInterface WiFiInterface

MyCustomWiFiInterface
Initial work by Bartek Szatkowski in https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/4079,
reworked following review of https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-os/pull/5202 to
transform the entire system into C++, retaining the basic functionality.
Bartek's summary:
* Porting ethernet to EMAC
* Updating EMAC to enable multiple interfaces
* Untangling networking classes, making the abstractions a bit clearer to follow, etc
* General refactoring
* Removal of DEVICE_EMAC flag and introducing DEVICE_ETH and DEVICE_WIFI
Revisions since initial branch:
* Remove lwip depencies
* Correct doxygen warnings
* Remove emac_api.h, replace with C++ EMAC abstract class.
* Create OnboardNetworkInterface, and LWIP implementation.
* Mappings since #4079
lwip-interface/nsapi_stack_lwip.c -> LWIPStack.cpp
lwip-interface/ipstack_lwip.c -> LWIPInterface.cpp
netsocket/mbed_ipstack.h -> OnboardNetworkStack.h
hal/emac_api.h -> EMAC.h
* Reinstate use of EthInterface abstraction
* Correct and clarify HW address EMAC ops
* Restore MBED_MAC_ADDR implementation
* Integrate PPP support with LWIP::Interface.
* Convert K64F lwIP driver to K64F_EMAC.
To do:
* Convert emac_stack_mem.h to follow this pattern.
* Figure out DEVICE_ETH/EMAC
* Update all drivers to use EMAC
