TDA4VM: How to enable HTTP Server in official ethfw demo

Part Number: TDA4VM

Hi,

I'm using PSDKR v7.2 and following ethfw user's guide.

Now the network seems to work since ethfw got ip address from PC1, and both TDA4VM board and PCs can ping each other.

But HTTP server seems not startup, since I got ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in chrome.

There is a note in ethfw user's guide in PSDKR v7.2 :

HTTP server support is removed from NDK_3_75_01_01, so currently HTTP server is not supported in ETHFW. From 7.1 release, NS tools will be used to enable HTTP server.

Now NDK version is ndk_3_80_00_19 in PSDKR v7.2, so what's the availability of HTTP server in 7.2 release?

And how to enable/disable HTTP server in NS or other components?

Thanks!

Hello? Is there anyone can help me with this issue of NDK/NS/ETHFW? Or I should wait for PSDKR v7.3 release? Thanks!

Hi,

HTTP server is support through NS tools in 7.2. The comment is wrong and should be removed. I will file a ticket internally.

Hi Vineet,

Thanks for your reply.

But I still cann't access HTTP server, even use switch configuration server firmware which's name without _strip: app_remoteswitchcfg_server.xer5f

And what's the difference between app_remoteswitchcfg_server_strip.xer5f
and app_remoteswitchcfg_server.xer5f ?

Thandks!

The binary with _strip suffix has the symbols stripped, hence size will be smaller.

To access the HTTP server, simply use the IP address of the EthFw, which you can find in the EthFw logs in UART, i.e.:

"CPSW NIMU application, IP address I/F: 192.168.1.10"

Hi Misael,

So firmware without _strip suffix is using for debug? And normal version is with _strip suffix?

If do, then I don't understand the naming rule. Should we named a normal version with a normal name: without any special suffix?

Why name a release version with suffix _strip?

Why not rename a debug version with suffix _debug?

It's two different things. 'release' vs 'debug' has to do with compiling with optimizations or not. '_strip' vs regular has to do with symbols being part of the binary or not, this is valid for 'release' and 'debug' flavors.

Regarding not having '_debug' (or '_release') suffix, this is the nomenclature used by Concerto makefile system. Concerto creates creates different directory structures for 'debug' and 'release' build outputs.
