+# wolfHAL Port for wolfIP
+
+Generic wolfIP port that uses the wolfHAL Ethernet API (`whal_Eth` /
+`whal_EthPhy`). Users create a wolfHAL board and the port handles the
+rest — bridging wolfHAL's Ethernet MAC/PHY drivers to wolfIP's
+link-layer device interface.
+
+## Supported Boards
+
+| Board | MCU | PHY | Directory |
+|-------|-----|-----|-----------|
+| NUCLEO-H563ZI | STM32H563ZI | LAN8742A | `boards/stm32h563zi_nucleo` |
+

+
+## Building
+
+```
+cd src/port/wolfHAL
+make BOARD=stm32h563zi_nucleo
+```
+
+Override the wolfHAL location (defaults to `../../../wolfHAL` relative to
+the wolfip root, i.e. a sibling directory):
+
+```
+make BOARD=stm32h563zi_nucleo WOLFHAL_ROOT=/path/to/wolfHAL
+```
+
+Override IP configuration at build time:
+
+```
+make BOARD=stm32h563zi_nucleo \
+    CFLAGS+='-DWOLFIP_IP=\"10.0.0.2\" -DWOLFIP_NETMASK=\"255.255.255.0\" -DWOLFIP_GW=\"10.0.0.1\"'
+```
+
+## Adding a New Board
+
+Create a new directory under `boards/` with the following files:
+
+### board.h
+
+Must declare the following:
+
+#### Required Device Externs
+
+| Variable | Type | Description |
+|----------|------|-------------|
+| `g_whalEth` | `whal_Eth` | Initialized Ethernet MAC device |
+| `g_whalEthPhy` | `whal_EthPhy` | Initialized Ethernet PHY device |
+| `g_whalUart` | `whal_Uart` | Initialized UART device (used by `_write` syscall for printf) |
+
+These names are required — `main.c`, `wolfhal_eth.c`, and `syscalls.c`
+reference them directly.
+
+#### Required Functions
+
+| Function | Signature | Description |
+|----------|-----------|-------------|
+| `board_init` | `whal_Error board_init(void)` | Initialize all board hardware. Must call `whal_Eth_Init`, `whal_EthPhy_Init`, `whal_Uart_Init`, and start the system timer before returning. Returns `WHAL_SUCCESS` on success. |
+| `board_deinit` | `whal_Error board_deinit(void)` | Tear down board hardware in reverse order. |
+| `board_get_tick` | `uint32_t board_get_tick(void)` | Return a millisecond tick counter. Used by `wolfhal_eth_init` for link timeout and by `wolfIP_poll` for stack timing. |
+
+### board.c
+
+Implements the functions above. Typical `board_init` sequence:
+
+1. Initialize clocks (PLL, peripheral clocks)
+2. Initialize GPIO (UART pins, Ethernet pins)
+3. Initialize UART (`whal_Uart_Init`)
+4. Initialize Ethernet MAC (`whal_Eth_Init`)
+5. Initialize Ethernet PHY (`whal_EthPhy_Init`)
+6. Initialize and start system timer
+
+The `whal_Eth` device must have its `macAddr` field set — this is
+where wolfIP reads the interface MAC address from.
+
+### board.mk
+
+Provides build configuration. Must set:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|----------|-------------|
+| `WOLFHAL_ROOT` | Path to wolfHAL (use `?=` so it's overridable) |
+| `GCC` | Cross-compiler path (e.g. `arm-none-eabi-gcc`) |
+| `OBJCOPY` | Objcopy tool |
+| `CFLAGS` | Compiler flags (architecture, warnings, includes) |
+| `LDFLAGS` | Linker flags |
+| `LDLIBS` | Libraries to link (libc, libgcc, etc.) |
+| `LINKER_SCRIPT` | Path to the board's linker script |
+| `BOARD_SOURCE` | List of board + wolfHAL driver source files |
+
+`BOARD_SOURCE` must include at minimum:
+- `startup.c`, `ivt.c`, `board.c`, `syscalls.c` from the board directory
+- wolfHAL drivers: `eth/eth.c`, `eth/<platform>_eth.c`,
+  `eth_phy/eth_phy.c`, `eth_phy/<phy>.c`, `clock/clock.c`,
+  `clock/<platform>_rcc.c`, `gpio/gpio.c`, `gpio/<platform>_gpio.c`,
+  `timer/timer.c`, `timer/systick.c`, `uart/uart.c`,
+  `uart/<platform>_uart.c`
+
+### syscalls.c
+
+Must provide:
+- Standard libc stubs: `_write`, `_read`, `_sbrk`, `_close`, `_fstat`,
+  `_isatty`, `_lseek`, `_exit`, `_kill`, `_getpid`
+- `_write` should route to `whal_Uart_Send(&g_whalUart, ...)` so that
+  `printf` outputs to UART
+- `uint32_t wolfIP_getrandom(void)` — wolfIP's random number hook
+
+### startup.c, ivt.c, linker.ld
+
+Standard bare-metal files for your target architecture. See the
+`stm32h563zi_nucleo` board for a reference implementation.
+
+## Port API
+
+The port exposes a single function:
+
+```c
+#include "wolfhal_eth.h"
+
+struct wolfhal_eth_ctx ctx = {
+    .eth = &g_whalEth,
+    .phy = &g_whalEthPhy,
+};
+
+int ret = wolfhal_eth_init(wolfIP_getdev(ipstack), &ctx);
+```
+
+`wolfhal_eth_init` will:
+1. Poll `whal_EthPhy_GetLinkState` until link comes up (5s timeout,
+   configurable via `WOLFHAL_ETH_LINK_TIMEOUT_MS`)
+2. Start the MAC with negotiated speed/duplex
+3. Copy `eth->macAddr` to the wolfIP device
+4. Register poll/send callbacks that bridge to `whal_Eth_Recv`/`whal_Eth_Send`
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+- All port functions and variables use `snake_case`
+- Board functions use `board_` prefix: `board_init`, `board_get_tick`
+- Port functions use `wolfhal_` prefix: `wolfhal_eth_init`
+- wolfHAL API calls retain their own naming (`whal_Eth_Init`, etc.)
+- Global device instances use `g_whal` prefix: `g_whalEth`, `g_whalEthPhy`, `g_whalUart`
+- Macros use `UPPER_SNAKE_CASE`
