Re: Zeoring out memory

[Mohammad M Molla <merajul_i@xxxxxxxxx>]

Let me clarify. I am porting an ethernet driver from Linux to an embedded OS which does not have memset. So yeh, its in kernel space (not linux kernel) and I need some software mechanism to zero fill the memory. Also the platform is MIPS.

Your question looks strange: why wouldn't you have access to memset()
or bzero() ?

In the Linux kernel, memset() is available, so you can use it.

Sincerly,
