Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EK-TM4C1294XL
Hello,
I have been trying to set up a DNS client on EK-TM4C1294XL for a week now. I have recompiled NDK to support everything and tried seemingly every possible combination of the NDK modules.
I use a DHCP client to get my IP, which works well. I have successfully connected to a secure server using wolfSSL via a hardcoded IP address and I can ping my device on the local network. The only problem I have is that DNSGetHostByName() always returns NODNSREPLY (19). Although I have spent countless hours trying to find a solution or even example code to verify against, I have so far come up with nothing and am slowly getting desperate.
Below is my .cfg file, excerpts of the code I use and the Global Service Report output:
NOTE that my config file has gone through numerous changes over the past week.

The auto generated Service Report code should start the DNS client when an IP address is assgined:
Void ti_ndk_config_Global_serviceReport(uint Item, uint Status,
uint Report, HANDLE h)
{
xdc_runtime_System_printf("Service Status: %-9s: %-9s: %-9s: %03d\n",
TaskName[Item-1], StatusStr[Status],
ReportStr[Report/256], Report&0xFF);
if (Item == CFGITEM_SERVICE_DHCPCLIENT &&
Status == CIS_SRV_STATUS_ENABLED &&
(Report == (NETTOOLS_STAT_RUNNING|DHCPCODE_IPADD) ||
Report == (NETTOOLS_STAT_RUNNING|DHCPCODE_IPRENEW)) ) {
/* add the external DNS server to the configuration. */
ti_ndk_config_external_dns_init(h);
}
xdc_runtime_System_flush();
}
And the Service Report's output:
Using MAC address in flash Starting the example System provider is set to SysMin. Halt the target to view any SysMin contents in ROV. Service Status: DHCPC : Enabled : : 000 Service Status: DHCPC : Enabled : Running : 000 Network Added: If-1:192.168.8.108 RET 19 Service Status: DHCPC : Enabled : Running : 017 RET 19 RET 19 RET 19 RET 19 RET 19
