[FAQ] TMS320C6678: Static IP Configuration using PDK

To run the NIMU EMAC example for C667x devices make sure the prerequisites are present.

1. CCSTUDIO_9.3.0.00012 (https://www.ti.com/tool/download/CCSTUDIO/9.3.0.00012),
2. PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-C667x  (Version: 06_03_00_106 ) (https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/C667x/latest/index_FDS.html)
3. Example projects are generated (https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1082251/faq-tms320c6678-how-to-generate-the-ccs-pdk-examples-for-c6678).

Now Import the CCS project into CCS and go on

1. To Import the project, Go to File -> Import -> "CCS projects" in "C/C++" -> Browse "Select Search-directory". make sure to uncheck the "Copy Projects into Workspace" (This is to avoid compilation errors only If TI-RTOS SDK was installed in a different location than "C:\ti\").
2. In the project "NIMU_emacExampleClient_EVMC6657C66BiosExampleProject",
   1. Modify the following lines to configure the IP as static.

      // IP Configuration
      //
      
      char *HostName    = "tidsp";
      char *LocalIPAddr = "192.168.1.4";
      char *LocalIPMask = "255.255.255.0";    // Not used when using DHCP
      char *GatewayIP   = "192.168.1.1";    // Not used when using DHCP
      char *DomainName  = "demo.net";         // Not used when using DHCP
      char *DNSServer   = "0.0.0.0";          // Used when set to anything but zero
      
      
      ... 
      
      
      /*
       * Main thread
      */
      int StackTest()
      {
          ...
          
               
          if(1) // set '1' for manual IP configuration
          { 
              // Manual IP configuration 
              CI_IPNET NA;
              CI_ROUTE RT;
              ...
              
          }
          else
          {
              //DHCP configuration
          }
          
      
      }

   2. Modify the following lines to configure the IP by the DHCP server.

      int StackTest()
      {
      
          if(0) // set '0' for DHCP IP configuration
          { 
              // Manual IP configuration 
              CI_IPNET NA;
              CI_ROUTE RT;
              ...
              
          }
          else
          {
              //DHCP configuration
          }
      }

3. For C665x devices, 
   1. PROCESSOR-SDK-RTOS-C665x  (Version: 06_03_00_106 ) (https://software-dl.ti.com/processor-sdk-rtos/esd/C665x/latest/index_FDS.html)
   2. Example projects are generated (https://e2e.ti.com/support/processors-group/processors/f/processors-forum/1040872/faq-tms320c6657-how-to-generate-the-ccs-pdk-examples-for-c6657).
