BusyBox/Digi Connect ME 9210 Linux TCP-Serial bridge

22-AUG-2009 - CURRENT

Initial Project Description:

"Write a C based daemon that can act as a bi-directional bridge between a specified TCP/IP socket and a nominated serial port on the Digi Connect ME 9210 4/8 Linux module.  It can be based on existing open source, but must be permissive license (BSD, Apache etc).  Command-line options to specify TCP/IP port, serial device, baud rate and other serial settings.  Must act as a well-behaved daemon, only using IO & CPU resources in appropriate correspondence with activity and respond to standard O/S signals. Must be delivered in source code form with make build scripts, working binary and tests."

Currently we are using an open-source baseline that has been greatly modified and extended to meet the specific requirements of the client.  I am working with the DigiEL-4.2 development environment and I am specifically targeting my patches to enhance the default environment with the customized application(that is not original to DigiEL) so that the client has a coherent interface with the development environment and prevents them from requiring a separate build process to create their target images.
