I suppose that most beneficial picotcp feature is TCP support. Working with picotcp v1.7 I have used tcp examples from https://github.com/tass-belgium/picotcp-modules It looks like that the tcp code does not work "as-is" after switching from v1.7 to v2.1 so I have disabled it. At the moment I have no good idea on picotcp integration next step. This year I have faced with iPXE (https://ipxe.org/) as a user. iPXE just works. It supports TCP and IPv6. It uses GPLv2. May be iPXE would be a better choice? However, I have not looked at the iPXE code yet. -- Best regards, Antony Pavlov
