MSP432E401Y: board to board communication via ethernet

Part Number: MSP432E401Y

I am new to this board I need help with ethernet data transfer from one device to another device, I have seen most of the related discussions in this forum but I have not found anything helpful .... and also tried the example code (i need only NO-RTOS codes  ) but they are not helpful and I was not able to understand how to make communication possible ..... kindly please help me .

  • Hi, we don't have specific examples on what you are looking for, but you might be able to take parts from these different resources to make it work.

    Aside from the example codes for the specific device, we provide some SimpleLink Academy resources that further explain the ethernet connections. I see that our examples are connecting to the internet rather than another device so there will be differences when connecting to another device. The reference manual chapter 15 goes over the ethernet controller and section 15.3.4 go over the TX/RX controller which could be helpful if you want to send and receive data. 

    Other potentially useful examples Ethernet-based I/O Control, TCPEcho, and TCPEchotls

    Is it possible to use a different connection type (ex. UART) to perform your needs or does the connection need to be strictly ethernet?

    Regards,

  • Hello Luke,

    Is it possible to use a different connection type (ex. UART) to perform your needs or does the connection need to be strictly ethernet?

    no bro, my msp432e401y should receive and send commands(like passing  messages) through ethernet only ... if I get to know how to send and receive messages will be much helpful 

    Thanks for the reply,

    I'll go through chapter 15 and I'll get back to you .... thank you for the resources.

    Regards,

  • Hello Luke, 

    is there any code in examples to send messages through ethernet?

  • All of our examples use the ethernet to connect to the internet and send messages. Our IwIP ethernet code might be useful which can be found here ethernet.c .  The TCP echo example could also be useful found here TCPEcho. Our ethernet uses are generally to connect to the internet so our examples are limited to that use case. 

    Regards,

    Luke
