nic_app

Supplies application layer support for our custom network in CP341

Introduction

This C project establishes the application layer for the custom CP341 network.

• nic_app.c is the library file that should be imported to provide sending and receiving functions for an app.
• nic_app.h is the header file for the above module.

Building and Running

Keeping with the standards of the class, this code should be built and run on a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with pigpio installed. To build the CLI, run gcc -pthread -o chat chat.c nic_app.c -lpigpiod_if2 in the src directory. To run the CLI, then call ./chat.

Note: in order to make network calls, the router from nic_net must be running on the computer you wish to run the application on. Follow the instructions in that repository for message organization.
