Red Bear OS 2e5e516587 net: wait for async NIC attach instead of one-shot-exit (fixes no-eth0 boot)
driver-manager attaches NIC drivers asynchronously, so on a fresh boot the
network.* scheme does not exist yet when smolnetd/dhcpd run (both gated only on
the driver-manager service having *started*). smolnetd scanned /scheme once,
found nothing, and exited -> /scheme/netcfg never came up -> dhcpd/netctl failed
with "Can't open /scheme/netcfg/ifaces/eth0/mac" and DHCP timed out.

- smolnetd: poll (bounded 20s) for a network.* adapter to appear before giving
  up; oneshot_async so this never blocks boot. Give-up log now distinguishes
  genuinely-NIC-less from a NIC-present-but-driver-failed (stale driver) case.
- dhcpd: wait (bounded 20s) for /scheme/netcfg/ifaces/eth0/mac to appear before
  attempting DHCP, instead of one-shot "Can't open"; exit clean if no NIC.

Base

Repository containing various system daemons, that are considered fundamental for the OS.

You can see what each component does in the following list:

  • audiod : Daemon used to process the sound drivers audio
  • bootstrap : First code that the kernel executes, responsible for spawning the init daemon
  • daemon : Redox daemon library
  • drivers
  • init : Daemon used to start most system components and programs
  • initfs : Filesystem with the necessary system components to run RedoxFS
  • ipcd : Daemon used for inter-process communication
  • logd : Daemon used to log system components and daemons
  • netstack : Daemon used for networking
  • ptyd : Daemon used for pseudo-terminal
  • ramfs : RAM filesystem
  • randd : Daemon used for random number generation
  • zerod : Daemon used to discard all writes and fill read buffers with zero

How To Contribute

To learn how to contribute you need to read the following document:

If you want to contribute to drivers read its README

Development

To learn how to do development with these system components inside the Redox build system you need to read the Build System and Coding and Building pages.

How To Build

It is recommended to build this system component via the Redox build system, you can learn how to do it on the Building Redox page.

To build and test outside the build system, install redoxer then use check.sh script to build or test:

  • ./check.sh - Check build for x86_64
  • ./check.sh --arch=ARCH - Check build for specific ARCH (aarch64, i586, riscv64gc)
  • ./check.sh --all - Check build for all ARCH
  • ./check.sh --test - Check the base system boots up on x86_64

You can also use make install to inspect the content on ./sysroot, or make test-gui to test booting with orbital interactively.
