I am just going to ignore the way this thread went for now. What I was<br>
mostly asking was what version of dtn was the most promising for an<br>
embedded (e.g. cerowrt II) implementation?<br>
<br>
<a href="https://dtn7.github.io/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://dtn7.github.io/</a> looks very promising, especially the rust<br>
bits. Rust lets me sleep better and we are moving some support for it<br>
into openwrt's next release.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/morgenroth/ibrdtn" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/morgenroth/ibrdtn</a> is undermaintained but was<br>
already ported to openwrt, and is lighter weight. There's another one<br>
targetted at microcontrollers ( <a href="https://upcn.eu/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://upcn.eu/</a> ), but not the FRAM<br>
one we used on a previous space-related project... really liked those<br>
FRAMs....<br>
<br>
As for the simulator side, what/where are the requirements? I confess<br>
to wanting to feed forward the asterank, or celestia, or nasa's new<br>
<a href="https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/asteroids/#/asteroids" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://eyes.nasa.gov/apps/asteroids/#/asteroids</a> into it another 10<br>
years and plunk 28k nodes into it....<br>
