Data Tx/Rx over UDP on CC3200 AP and CC3200 Client

Hi,

Also, if I can make TI CC3200 AP as the UDP server is there a possibility to measure the packet loss at the server end using iperf like tool?

thanks!

Hi,

Please take a look at the example 'getting_started_with_wlan_ap' from the SDK. Add the UDP server functionality to this application after the client connects to CC3200 successfully.

Similarly, use the example 'getting_started_with_wlan_station' from the SDK. Add the UDP client functionality to this application after the device connects to CC3200 running in mode AP successfully.

You cannot use iperf here. You would have to write an application of your own on the AP to measure the packet loss.

Hi Raghavendra,

Thanks for the information.

What if I do not do the second part ? (Similarly, use the example 'getting_started_with_wlan_station' from the SDK. Add the UDP client functionality to this application after the device connects to CC3200 running in mode AP successfully.) and directly use the UDP socket example as a client application?

 

thanks and Regards,

Hi Pradnya,

That would also work, as the UDP example runs in station mode by default.

Thanks Raghavendra,

Thanks!

In 'getting_started_with_wlan_ap' example, is it possible to know the AP IP address? I want to use this as my destination address in the UDP client application.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

Inside 'SimpleLinkNetAppEventHandler' print the below text when you receive the event 'SL_NETAPP_IPV4_IPACQUIRED_EVENT'.

Report(" [Event] IP Acquired: %d.%d.%d.%d\n\r",
             SL_IPV4_BYTE(pNetAppEvent->EventData.ipAcquiredV4.ip,3),
             SL_IPV4_BYTE(pNetAppEvent->EventData.ipAcquiredV4.ip,2),
             SL_IPV4_BYTE(pNetAppEvent->EventData.ipAcquiredV4.ip,1),
             SL_IPV4_BYTE(pNetAppEvent->EventData.ipAcquiredV4.ip,0));

Thanks!
works!
