[Oberon] 2013 Oberon book errata

[Jörg Straube]

Hi Srinivas

In project Oberon there are basically two modules that implement the networking.
- SCC.Mod
  Low level module that communicates with the RF chip. The HW interface used for communication with the chip is SPI. SPI is also used for the "hard disk" (SD card). To understan the code you need to read the datasheet of the chip.

- Net.Mod
Here indeed the network protocol is implemented in SW, but it's neither Ethernet nor IP nor other widely used protocols like UDP nor TCP.. It's a proprietary "simple" file transfer protocol to be used to transfer files between two Oberon machines.
