RTOS/TDA2EXEVM: Asssigning Specific IPv6 address to TDA2ex

Hello Dalton,

I would like to run the console application to understand all the arguments passed to CmdIpv6AddAddress function.

Could you please tell the steps to be followed for compiling and running it stand alone console application.

Thanks ,

Kapil Mehta 

Hi Kapil,

Where is the device you are trying to communicate with the TDA2ex? Specifically, is that device on the same LAN as the TDA2ex?

Dalton

Hi Kapil,

RFC 4291 section 2.1 ( tools.ietf.org/.../rfc4291 ) requires all IPv6 devices to have a link local address, so we cannot delete/disable this address.

Are you setting up a server socket on the tda2ex? If so, you can try binding to whatever IPv6 address you prefer.

Regards,
Dalton

Hello Dalton ,

I added ,

IPv6StringToIPAddress ("fd53:7cb8:383:2::1:50", &IPAddress);
IPv6AddAddress(1,IPAddress,NumBits,0xFFFFFFFF,0xFFFFFFFF,0);

where NumBits is 64 inside IPv6DADStatus function which is passed as an argument to

IPv6InterfaceInit(dev_index, IPv6DADStatus) function. // dev_index is 1 here

I actually didn't integrated/used telnet application, i went through it and found IPv6AddAddress is the function by which we can add new IPv6 interface /IP on specific dev_index.

After this i can ping to fd53:7cb8:383:2::1:50 address from my PC to TDA2ex.

Is this necessary to add telnet app for further any logs ?

Thanks,

Hi Dalton,

I am actually using VSDK 3.1 .

By looking at telnet application , it seems its standalone application , I think to use it i need to integrate it in VSDK , could you please list the steps to be followed for the same. Please correct me if i am wrong. 

Hi Kapil,

I will still need some information from telnet to help diagnose the problem, but don't worry it's pretty easy to add to your project (no problem with VSDK). To add the telnet console to your project add the following lines to your *.cfg file:

var Telnet = xdc.useModule('ti.ndk.config.Telnet');
var telnetParams = new Telnet.Params();
telnetParams.callBackFxn = '&ConsoleOpen';
var telnet = Telnet.create(telnetParams);

Now recompile your project and connect to the telnet console. Once connected I will need you to run the following commands:

1. ipv6 route
2. ping6 (your PC's IPv6 addr)
3. ping6 (your server's IPv6 addr)

For the #2 and #3 can you also take a wireshark capture when you are doing them? Please upload the wireshark captures along with the outputs for the commands.

Regards,

Dalton

Hello Kapil,

From command/bash prompt, use command "telnet ip_address" to telnet to board.

If you do "help", you would get all possible commands which can be run on the client.

Yes, from PC command prompt. You will need to install telnet if not installed earlier.

>>I am not sure does it make sense to run it from PC ?

Why do you think so? We are running telnet for getting some information regarding IPv6 routing which Dalton needs. 

Hello Prasad / Dalton,

I could manage yo run Putty and connect to telnet server from PC. I added IP address of IPv4 TDA2ex i.e. 192.168.1.100.

**** Vision SDK ****

Welcome connection : 192.168.1.17:61169
Welcome to the console program.
Enter '?' or 'help' for a list of commands.

Above is the output from ipv6 route command.

My PC IPv6 address is : fd53:7cb8:383:2::1:52
TDA2ex IPv4 address is : 192.168.1.100
TDA2ex IPv6 address is : fd53:7cb8:383:2::1:50 added by IPv6AddAddress function and local link address is fe80::c6f3:12ff:feb6:566c.
and server where i am sending data to from TDA2ex is : ff14::1:a .

I am also attaching wireshark capture from ping6 My PC and ping6 My server.

What i found is i am able to ping to my PC address with response but i am not able to ping to my server address from Putty .

Thanks for your help.
