TMS570LC4357: Downloading from "New repository for software examples on Hercules Microcontrollers"

Part Number: TMS570LC4357
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN

Hello,

spna239 - HALCoGen Ethernet Driver With lwIP Integration Demo and Active Web Server Demo says:

"The latest lwIP Demo software version 04.00.00 can be downloaded from: git.ti.com/.../LwIP."

This page has a button to "Download master as tar.gz"  This pops up a message "Please wait - generating tarball..." 

The tarball generation has been going on for several hours. 

1) Has something gone wrong or am I misusing the git tool?  I have not used git.

2) Is the tarball being generated for all files under master which includes \Application, \Bootloaders, \Launchpad, and \TI_design?

3) Are there instructions for using this site?

Thank you, Charlie Johnston

 

 

  • Hi,

    Sorry for the confusion. You can try to do the following way: $ git clone git://git.ti.com/hercules_examples/hercules_examples.git. Then the lwIP is under hercules_examples/Application/LwIP/v00.04.00.

    Regards, Eric

  • Hi Eric,

    I have never used git, so these are very basic questions.

    Is $ a command line prompt implying that I need a git client on my PC? 

    There is a Clone Repository button on the TI git site that requires a login.  Do I create an account, then clone the repository on your system?  Will that let me download just the LwIP directory?

    Thanks, Charlie

  • Hi,

    Below is my log from a Linux machine, I replaced my Identification with xxxxxx:

    If you use Windows PC, you need to install some tools like: git bash. Git Bash is an application for Microsoft Windows environments which provides an emulation layer for a Git command line experience. 

    You don't need to create any account. You will download the whole hercules_examples. LWIP is part of it.

  • Hi Eric,

    I'll give it a try.

    Thanks, Charlie
