has recently committed:

the last parts and completed phase 1 of Haikuware's bluetooth bounty:

http://www.haikuware.com/bounties/bluetooth-bounty

As such, he was transferred the bounty's pool of $1820.47 (he also received some RAM for his hardware donated by haikuware admin thenerd). The bounty fell a little short of the $1950 he requested, but all in all I think he'll be happy with that sum.

I'd like to thank all the bounty contributors that made this possible, as well as Oliver for the hard work he put in to give Haiku the code for a functional bluetooth base! Congrats all around.

Google Summer of Code Project: Alternate System Timers

Hello, Everybody!
I'm Dustin, the student in the 2008 Summer of Code who is going to implement support for system timers other than the TSC in Haiku.

I've been actively tracking (and trying to involve myself in) Haiku's development for a few months now, but have been passively watching it since Be, Inc. went under and OpenBeOS sprang to life. In that time, I've gained a basic understanding of the Be/Haiku API, and of limited parts of the Haiku kernel.

Couple growing kernel knowledge with studying standards documents such as that for the HPET, and I believe I can finish this, or get a very appreciable start on it, over the summer, and plan to stick around long afterwards.

I can be found in #haiku on Freenode, my nickname is DHowett.

Thanks very much,
Dustin Howett

Current ICMP implementation in HAIKU kernel

Blog post by ivo on Sat, 2007-06-09 22:27

Hi all,

According to current Haiku source ICMP implementation is only a ... framework. Only ICMP echo request messages are processed.

There are essentially two RFCs that should be considered when implementing ICMP (for IPv4). RFC792 - 'INTERNET CONTROL MESSAGE PROTCOL' and RFC1122 - 'Requirements for Internet Hosts -- Communication Layers'.

According to RFC1122, paragraph 3.2.2. there are two types of ICMP messages a host must process:
1) ICMP Error Messages
- Destination Unreachable
- Redirect
- Source Quench
- Time Exceeded
- Parameter Problem
2) ICMP query messages:
- Echo
- Information
- Timestamp
- Address Mask
