Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 3/3] support/testing: mdnsd: new runtime test
Date: Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:25:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260717142528.2709557-3-troglobit@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260717142528.2709557-1-troglobit@gmail.com>
Boot an armv5 image running the mdnsd responder alongside the mquery
client, then check that service discovery works: mquery browses for the
bundled _http._tcp service and mdnsd, on the same host, answers over the
loopback of the eth0 multicast group.
