[lwip-users] lwip with & without OS (need help & advice)

[sanjib das]

Hi All,

I am very new to lwip. I have a very basic doubt on porting lwip with & without OS.
I googled a lot...but dint get as such any link where things are explained in detail.

lwip with OS (say Linux): 
-- does it mean lwip stack will be initialized as part of Linux kernel?
-- in that case does the Linux kernel bypasses its own TCP/IP stack?
-- If lwip is not initialized as part of linux kernel, then can we run it as user space process?

lwip without OS:
-- does it mean lwip can be ported solely as an OS in a micro-controller chip?

Can we port it with Linux (either as kernel or user space module)? Is there any document 
on how to port with linux?

thanks in advance
onebrother
