It should be up to the NIC itself to decide if the network interface is
removed upon soft reset. Some NICs can keep the interface up over a soft
reset, which improves usability of the network.
This patch allows to use lwIP as the implementation of the usocket module,
instead of the existing socket-multiplexer that delegates the entire TCP/IP
layer to the NIC itself.
This is disabled by default, and enabled by defining MICROPY_PY_LWIP to 1.
When enabled, the lwIP TCP/IP stack will be included in the build with
default settings for memory usage and performance (see
lwip_inc/lwipopts.h). It is then up to a particular NIC to register itself
with lwIP using the standard lwIP netif API.
Header files that are considered internal to the py core and should not
normally be included directly are:
py/nlr.h - internal nlr configuration and declarations
py/bc0.h - contains bytecode macro definitions
py/runtime0.h - contains basic runtime enums
Instead, the top-level header files to include are one of:
py/obj.h - includes runtime0.h and defines everything to use the
mp_obj_t type
py/runtime.h - includes mpstate.h and hence nlr.h, obj.h, runtime0.h,
and defines everything to use the general runtime support functions
Additional, specific headers (eg py/objlist.h) can be included if needed.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
