Hi RIOT users,
I created a network with several nodes that communicate using RPL and UDP in native.
It works well. Thansk all for your work.
But I was wondering if I can use this code on platforms as for example on Zolertia. But I can’t build my code for Zolertia board as I get an error saying “region ‘ram’ overflowed” (same for region ‘rom’).
Is my code not adapted to small platforms or is it due to the implementation of the network stack in RIOT ?
I can see in the branch master that you have done a lot of new improvements on networking (ng_*) but as the example in examples/ng_networking is described for RIOT native, is it possible to use the same kind of things for Zolertia or other platforms ?
Thanks a lot for your help, I am a little lost

Hi Caroline!
But I was wondering if I can use this code on platforms as for example on
Zolertia. But I can't build my code for Zolertia board as I get an error
saying "region 'ram' overflowed" (same for region 'rom').
Is my code not adapted to small platforms or is it due to the implementation
of the network stack in RIOT ?
Actually making things more memory efficient was one of the motivations to
start work on the new network stack. In general, we're aiming to make it
possible to run an RPL/UDP application on smaller platforms such as the Z1,
too. With the old network this is difficult, if not impossible, and manual
tweaking all over the place is required.
I could give you some advices where to save some memory, but my recommendation
is: wait until the end of this week and use the new (gnrc) network stack.
We're about to merge the porting of RPL to gnrc this week (see
ng_rpl: port to the new network stack by cgundogan · Pull Request #3050 · RIOT-OS/RIOT · GitHub). (Thanks, Cenk, for the great
work!)
I can see in the branch master that you have done a lot of new improvements
on networking (ng_*) but as the example in examples/ng_networking is
described for RIOT native, is it possible to use the same kind of things for
Zolertia or other platforms ?
As I wrote: yes, that's definitely intended and we're optimistic to get the
full new stack ready and stable by the end of this month.
Cheers,
Oleg
