FRDMK64F Ping from a serial port - MQX example?

TurboMan — Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:05:03 GMT

Having just got the serial to ethernet example working, I want to develop an application.

I'd like to do what the title suggests, which is pinging a web address from the serial port, and checking a reply. I can see that ICMP isenabled in the serial to ethernet demo, ideally, I'd like it to connect to a DHCP server too.

Would the TCP client example be better suited to start from?

As I understand it, it's easier to develop from an existing example (copying it first?) than create an MQX project from scratch, because the MQX project wizard doesn't exist for KDS - is this correct also?

I will investigate more myself but ideas are welcome :smileyhappy:

Hello,

You can try using the httpsrv example code or the shell example. For MQX 4.2 you can find the examples at the path: C:\Freescale\Freescale_MQX_4_2\rtcs\examples

For MQX for KSDK the example codes are located at the path: C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\middleware\tcpip\rtcs\examples

Regarding create a new project, yes it is easier to copy an existing project than create a new project from scratch.

You can find information about how to create a new MQX project in the below links:

For MQX for KSDK: How To: Create a New MQX RTOS for KSDK Project in KDS

For MQX 4.2: Creating a New MQX RTOS 4.2 project in KDS

Have a great day,
Sol

Ok, so I found a ping example in: C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\examples\frdmk64f\demo_apps\lwip\lwip_ping_demo\ping_rtos\ping_mqx

If you have the software installed in the default locations of course. So import the WSD from the KDS folder, and tinker from there...

Thanks for the reply Soledad, it was helpful, but the main question was about the ping demo. I will try creating a project from scratch using those tutorials sometime,
