This is quite easy, ppp.h is well documented about that.

Basically:


ppp_pcb *ppps;
int fd;

fd = open_serial_port();

ppps = ppp_new();
ppp_set_auth(ppps, PPPAUTHTYPE_PAP, "login", "password");
ppp_over_serial_create(ppps, fd, ppp_link_status_cb, NULL);

your_chatscript(fd) {
  [ ... ]
  ppp_open(ppps, 0);
}

while(1) {
  u8_t buffer[128];
  int len;
  len = sio_read(fd, buffer, 128);
  if(len < 0) {
    pppapi_sighup(ppps);
  } else {
    pppos_input(ppps, buffer, len);
  }
}


You have to use pppapi_ functions if lwIP is already started, ppp_ 
functions are not thread safe.


Closing a running session:

ppp_close(ppps);  /* or pppapi_close(ppps);, as usual */
/* --- wait for callback, do NOT destroy the PPP PCB until PPP finished 
 * the cleaning job
 */


Dummy callback, called from the lwIP thread, should be non-blocking:

void ppp_link_status_cb(ppp_pcb *pcb, int err_code, void *ctx) {

        switch(err_code) {
                case PPPERR_NONE: {
                        struct ppp_addrs *ppp_addrs = ppp_addrs(pcb);
                        fprintf(stderr, "ppp_link_status_cb: PPPERR_NONE\n\r");
                        fprintf(stderr, "   our_ipaddr  = %s\n\r", 
ip_ntoa(&ppp_addrs->our_ipaddr));
                        fprintf(stderr, "   his_ipaddr  = %s\n\r", 
ip_ntoa(&ppp_addrs->his_ipaddr));
                        fprintf(stderr, "   netmask     = %s\n\r", 
ip_ntoa(&ppp_addrs->netmask));
                        fprintf(stderr, "   dns1        = %s\n\r", 
ip_ntoa(&ppp_addrs->dns1));
                        fprintf(stderr, "   dns2        = %s\n\r", 
ip_ntoa(&ppp_addrs->dns2));
#if PPP_IPV6_SUPPORT
                        fprintf(stderr, "   our6_ipaddr = %s\n\r", 
ip6addr_ntoa(&ppp_addrs->our6_ipaddr));
                        fprintf(stderr, "   his6_ipaddr = %s\n\r", 
ip6addr_ntoa(&ppp_addrs->his6_ipaddr));
#endif /* PPP_IPV6_SUPPORT */
                        break;
                }

                default: {
                        fprintf(stderr, "ppp_link_status_cb: err code %d\n\r", 
err_code);
                        restart_chatscript(pcb, 5);  /* Should trigger 
chatscript, in another thread for example, so that you are not locking the lwIP 
thread */

                        /* You can also use ppp_delete() here */

                        break;
                }
        }
}

In ppp-new branch, you have to call pppos_input() when you get new data 
from your serial port. This function is thread safe and can be called 
from a dedicated RX-thread or from a main-loop.
