Windows Client for Echo server program

Intellectual 670 points

Hello friends,

I  am testing Echo Server Application example that comes along with StarterWare. I created a project in visual studio 2005 based on client.c program but did not compile because this program meant for Linux Host  and needs to be modified so that I can use Windows Host as client.

Can any body please suggest me what modifications shall I have to do. Or is there any Windows Host client.c program available for StarterWare?

Thank you

regards,

Mahesh

    Hi Mahesh,

    The Host Client client.c program for Windows is not available with StarterWare.

    Dear friend,

    Is it a pre-requisite that the host PC givshould always be Linux based if I want to use StarterWare? Can't I use Windows PC?

    Is it a worthy idea to try to convert the en client.c program for Windows and work with it. Because some part of my project is already implemented in Visual studio 2005 and I want to add network TCP/IP functionality to it and use it with StarterWare.

    I am waiting for your valuable suggestion in this regard.

    Regards,

    Mahesh

    - MATLAB also have support for TCP/IP and UDP sockets on Windows. Should I consider TCP/IP or UDP stack implemented in StarterWare generic such that I can I try with MATLAB also.

    Hi Mahesh,

    StarterWare you can install on both Windows and Linux PCs. There are GCC makefile project examples which you can use in Linux as well as CCS/IAR projects which you can import in Windows installations.

    Also, StarterWare  implements lwIP, a light weight IP stack, which is generic. It doesnt depend on the host PC.

    But the client program given in /host_apps, is only for linux. However, you can develop your own client program for Windows and test it with StarterWare, by loading enet_echo executable on your target EVM.

    Also, you can try loading enet_lwip program onto your target and access the embedded webpage from your Windows PC.

    http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/StarterWare_02.00.00.05_User_Guide#Embedded_Web_Server_application    will give you the details.

    Cheers,

    Sujith.

    Mahesh,

    I am also using an L138 EVM and want to get the enet_echo working with a Windows program rather than the supplied Linux enet client. Did you find a solution?

    Thanks,

    Keith.
