[Oberon] oberonnet of things

[Jörg]

Hi FP

I'm just working on it.
I bought the wiz550io and connected it already successfully to the
Pipistrello.
I will write an additional SPI driver (not to touch the existing one in case
somebody wants to use the original Net protocol in addition to Ethernet and
to allow for higher speeds than the existing SPI driver) 
As I do it in my spare time allow me some time...

The applications on top however (FTP, Mail, ...) have to be written by you.

Hello,

a few considerations.
I looked at the net module of project oberon.
Is it true that there is still no ethernet (tcp-ip) module written? I know
there is one in AOS, but that only interfaces with specific ethernetcards.

I have to say, although from a didactical point of view the SCC network
module is very interesting, not being connected to the internet via UDP,
is a show stopper for me.
And it holds me back from promoting it as a 'first programming language'
at the gymnasium I teach. I want to use Oberon in my lessons but are
forced to advice Python because of the lack of ethernet libraries.*


Has someone interfaced the ethernet linux library to the oberon system or
language? Is there some interest in community to do this for the OLR or
OBC?


Greets,
Frans-Pieter Vonck

* I read a recent blog of Jan Verhoeven where he demonstrates the use of
the the 'foreign module'  in Modula-2. With the Mocka under linux x86 it
is easy to import libraries.
