Gabriel Górski 18c9bcd44a net: Reset DHCP socket when the link up is detected
Previously, because DHCP DISCOVER is sent before the link is
established, socket has to timeout first. Which takes extra 10 s.

Now if the state of the link changed to up, socket is explicitly reset
so the DISCOVER is repeated much earlier and DHCP configuration is
acquired much faster.

embassy-net

embassy-net is a no-std no-alloc async network stack, designed for embedded systems.

It builds on smoltcp. It provides a higher-level and more opinionated API. It glues together the components provided by smoltcp, handling the low-level details with defaults and memory management designed to work well for embedded systems, aiiming for a more "Just Works" experience.

Features

  • IPv4, IPv6
  • Ethernet and bare-IP mediums.
  • TCP, UDP, DNS, DHCPv4, IGMPv4
  • TCP sockets implement the embedded-io async traits.

See the smoltcp README for a detailed list of implemented and unimplemented features of the network protocols.

Hardware support

  • esp-wifi for WiFi support on bare-metal ESP32 chips. Maintained by Espressif.
  • cyw43 for WiFi on CYW43xx chips, used in the Raspberry Pi Pico W
  • embassy-usb for Ethernet-over-USB (CDC NCM) support.
  • embassy-stm32 for the builtin Ethernet MAC in all STM32 chips (STM32F1, STM32F2, STM32F4, STM32F7, STM32H7, STM32H5).
  • embassy-net-wiznet for Wiznet SPI Ethernet MAC+PHY chips (W5100S, W5500)
  • embassy-net-esp-hosted for using ESP32 chips with the esp-hosted firmware as WiFi adapters for another non-ESP32 MCU.

Examples

  • For usage with Embassy HALs and network chip drivers, search here for eth or wifi.
  • The esp-wifi repo has examples for use on bare-metal ESP32 chips.
  • For usage on std platforms, see the std examples

Adding support for new hardware

To add embassy-net support for new hardware (i.e. a new Ethernet or WiFi chip, or an Ethernet/WiFi MCU peripheral), you have to implement the embassy-net-driver traits.

Alternatively, embassy-net-driver-channel provides a higer-level API to construct a driver that processes packets in its own background task and communicates with the embassy-net task via packet queues for RX and TX.

Drivers should depend only on embassy-net-driver or embassy-net-driver-channel. Never on the main embassy-net crate. This allows existing drivers to continue working for newer embassy-net major versions, without needing an update, if the driver trait has not had breaking changes.

Interoperability

This crate can run on any executor.

embassy-time is used for timekeeping and timeouts. You must link an embassy-time driver in your project to use this crate.
