Hello everyone, the project has now reached the stage where it is possible to build for UEFI just like an std supporting Rust target. However, running tests is where it gets a bit tricky:
While there are some rust targets that run on QEMU emulation for testing [1] (as opposed to just docker), this is currently achieved by 2 tools: remote-test-client [2] and remote-test-server [3] which are programs for sending test programs and libraries to the emulator, and running the tests within the emulator, and reading the results. This means that the rust-test-server [3] needs to run in the UEFI environment. This means it needs the `sys::net` module implemented. As suggested in the last meeting, I was using a dummy implementation of net. However, for using the current Rust testing environment, we simply need to implement net. There is also the alternative of using stdio in qemu for testing, but that will mean significant reworking of the Rust testing framework (which seems to be more difficult than implementing `net`) So I think that it would be better to implement the `net` module first. The primitives that need to be implemented in this module are TcpSocket, TcpListener, and UdpSocket (unsupported version link [4]). So should I go ahead with implementing `net`? Is there anything special that I should consider?
