[knota-devel] Version 0.1 of linux kernel port of the NoTA DIP released

[Mikko H. <mik...@no...>]

Hi all,

I have been working past two weeks with the port of NoTA Device Interconnect
Protocol (DIP) to Linux kernel. Now the version 0.1 is ready. The purpose of
this port is to create an optimized version of the NoTA DIP for Linux kernel
and maintain compatibility with reference implementation that is available
from http://www.notaworld.org. The Linux is one of the main environments for
applications of NoTA and thus very efficient port of NoTA DIP is useful.

The work is now just started and only local connections are supported. I
will be working with the project every now and then but of course anybody is
free to contribute to the project's missing parts. Next big thing is to
create L_IN up layer and some L_IN up layer.

Features in release 0.1
* Local loopback registration & connecting to services
* Sending & receiving data
* select() call support
