* net: keep network packets out of the console (fixes shell garbage on netboot)user5 days1-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The link port is both the console-input fallback and the network. At the shell prompt the host's multicast (mDNS/LLMNR/IGMP) was fed to the serial and KGetc read those packet bytes as console input -> garbage in the shell, OSK unusable. Two-part fix: - KGetc now skips SLIP frames (0xC0-delimited) on the serial console path, so inbound packets never surface as console input. Plain injected bytes (the headless tunbridge command path) still pass through. New wConInSkip flag. - netboot/tunbridge only forward IP packets destined to 10.0.0.2 (drop the multicast noise at the bridge). Verified: GB sits at a clean "/#" prompt while all packets (noise included) are forwarded; being-pinged (3/3) and wget still work. On the emulator, the OSK is SELECT=space, START=enter, A=z, B=x, d-pad=WASD/arrows.
* net: real routed IP via SLIP<->TUN bridge (you can *ping* a Game Boy)user5 days1-0/+127
tunbridge.py opens a TUN device (gbtun0, 10.0.0.1/24), NATs 10.0.0.0/24 out to the internet, spawns the emulator, and bridges raw IP packets on the TUN to/from SLIP frames on the link serial. The Game Boy (10.0.0.2) becomes a genuine routed IP host: the host kernel routes its packets for real, so the host's own `ping` command reaches it and netd answers. Verified: `sudo python3 tools/tunbridge.py netd --test` 64 bytes from 10.0.0.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.61 ms 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss Two hard-won gotchas baked in: - Under sudo, ~ expands to /root, so resolve EMU/ROM via $SUDO_USER's home. - Only start feeding host->GB packets AFTER netd is running; raw packet bytes delivered to gbos's shell (before netd claims the serial) corrupt the shell and crash the emulator. gb->host draining starts immediately. Requires /dev/net/tun (on Proxmox LXC: allow cgroup2 device c 10:200 rwm + bind-mount /dev/net/tun into the container).
