Select dhcp client mode at runtime in ndk

Prajith Jayarajan

We are developing an ethernetIP application on am335x which uses NDK stack. Now we have a requirement where the enabling of dhcp client need to be done at  runtime. ie At startup,the application decides either to use a static ip or enable dhcp.

Does NDK support this requirement. 

I am using ndk version 2.22.3.20.

    Hi Prajith,

    Yes, you can configure the app for DHCP client mode at run time.  You must use the NDK C configuration APIs:

            CfgAddEntry( hCfg, CFGTAG_SERVICE, CFGITEM_SERVICE_DHCPCLIENT, 0,
                         sizeof(dhcpc), (UINT8 *)&dhcpc, 0 );

    Please look at this NDK 2.0.0 version of the client example that has the full code for this:

    2671.client.c

    You can also find out more details on the NDK configuration in the "TI Network Developer's Kit (NDK) v2.21 API
    Reference Guide" , under Appendix G "Legacy Configuration Manager API" in the NDK.

    Also, please see this post as it is related and may be helpful.
