Linux communicate with lwip on the TM4C129EXL by RAW API



Hi, I am trying to communicate with LWIP on the launchpad, I found that the website could be set up by lwip and running over the ethernet, so I am thinking whether I could have a little program running on PC or Linux that can communicate with the LWIP. 

My objective is trying to use the launchpad to enable a firmware update over ethernet, just passing the firmware to the SD card and reboot, the launchpad installed the new firmware through SD card.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks

Shan

  • Hello Shan,

    The enet_lwip examples uses the locator API's so that the device can be queried.

  • Hi, Amit, Thanks for your reply, I have looked into locator API,  its description said :

    //! This function prepares the locator service to handle device discovery

    //! requests.  A UDP server is created and the locator response data is

    //! initialized to all empty.


    I am trying to make it running a lwip on Linux and communicate with lauchPad using Raw API, so I can transfer data from linux to launchpad. I knew it is not related to TI product, but I am just trying to get some info, any software that can capture and send packets? I have tried with the Lwip website, no answer, I am trying a better luck here.

    can you help me to ask your colleague?  Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks

  • Hello Shan,

    If it is about some off the shelf software, then I am not aware of one.
