The minimal-net target, as currently written, wakes up the
CPU every millisecond to check for packets, and will only
react in real-time to input from stdin. If you are running
this on a laptop battery, your battery will quickly drain.
This change allows the CPU to idle when there is literally
nothing to do while still being responsive to input from
stein and/or incoming packets. This fix should significantly
improve performance while significantly improving power
usage. Win-win.
Also added `_xassert()` implementation so that the contiki-
provided `assert()` macro will work properly when used
on this platform.
functions for converting between host and network byte order. These
names are the de facto standard names for this functionality because
of the original BSD TCP/IP implementation. But they cause problems for
uIP/Contiki: some platforms define these names themselves (Mac OS,
most notably), causing compilation problems for Contiki on those
platforms.
This commit changes all htons to uip_htons instead. Same goes for
htonl, ntohs, and ntohl. All-caps versions as well.
