[lwip-users] RE: [lwip] Patch for PaulOS + crash fixes

[liandong]

I do not know if it is suitable to paste this long message here. if it is
not :(i will be sorry for it.

Hello. I am a newbie and now i want to transplant uC/os to my PC(IA-32
celeron), and hope with my PC (with uC/os being the OS)can communicat with
other PC through Tcp/Ip and i adopt lwip.

Now i have no point how can get start , what should i do in the first.
i have anlysised uC/os and read some article about bios and pci bus,i think
to make an os run i should know some about these 2 things.

Now one thing confused me mostly is how can the os configure the memory
space and how can cpu find my network card, as i want the pc to commuicate
through tcpip the networkcard is certain to be used.

Anyone can tell me How can get start?
i should have knowledge about what firstly(bios,pci,boot programme)?
Whether the project is too hard ? is not pratical for one guy to finish in
one year?

or
In the process of boot up of pc:
before bootloader is bios post , can bios offer me enough infomation and
enable me to address my network card and my networkdriver can run.
in linux itself do a pci scan and configure the pci device itself. i don't
think i have the ability to do such a thing. i want to do that throuth bios.


Any one answer any of my question will be appreciated!
Anybody who was interested in this project is welcome to cmmunicate with me.
