[uClinux-dev] SNMP version in uClinux-dist

2009-09-04 Thread Philip Mason
Hello all, The latest distribution I can find (uClinux-dist-20090618.tar.gz) still has version 5.2.1 of net-snmp. I've created a table based agent (using the table_dataset code) but it's really, really slow when I do snmpset on anything other than trivially small tables. The documentation suggest

Hi Michael, I don't have visibility of application at this point. But, right now I just want to get hw board booting. As I mentioned in my mail to Greg, I want to check how MMU and noMMU can make difference. I feel noMMU might give better performance. But, whatever loooks more lucrative to so

Thanks Greg for reply. I am looking for PPC first and hopefully other arch as I continue. Also, I am trying to have both MMU and noMMU because my understanding is noMMU might give better performance and better timing predictability (no VM exceptions for dynamic memory allocation). Definitely grea

Thank David for clarifying this! MMU and !MMU support definitely makes everything easy for software and maintainability. I will definitely love to make doc and if possible, make contribution to uClinux through bug fixes or any patches if I encounter during my work. Regards, Tom --- On Fri, 9/4/0
