DHCP client

Swapnil_Enable — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 11:15:05 GMT

i have a problem binding the device to the ip address provided by dhcp client.

the code i have used is:

/* runtime RTCS configuration */

_RTCSPCB_init = pcbs;

_RTCS_msgpool_init = msgs;

_RTCS_socket_part_init = sockets;

error = RTCS_create();

if (error == RTCS_OK) {

IPCFG_default_enet_device = BSP_DEFAULT_ENET_DEVICE;

IPCFG_default_ip_address = ENET_IPADDR;

IPCFG_default_ip_mask = ENET_IPMASK;

IPCFG_default_ip_gateway = ENET_IPGATEWAY;

LWDNS_server_ipaddr = ENET_IPDNS;

ip_data.ip = IPCFG_default_ip_address;

ip_data.mask = IPCFG_default_ip_mask;

ip_data.gateway = IPCFG_default_ip_gateway;

ENET_get_mac_address(IPCFG_default_enet_device, IPCFG_default_ip_address, IPCFG_default_enet_address);

//ipcfg_init_device(IPCFG_default_enet_device, IPCFG_default_enet_address);

/* RTCSCFG_ENABLE_LWDNS */

error = ipcfg_init_device (IPCFG_default_enet_device, serverAddress);

ipcfg_add_dns_ip(IPCFG_default_enet_device,LWDNS_server_ipaddr);

// check link status

printf("\nWaiting for ethernet cable plug in ... ");

while(!ipcfg_get_link_active(IPCFG_default_enet_device)) {};

printf("Cable connected.\n");

/* If DHCP Enabled, get IP address from DHCP server */

if (dhcp) {

printf("\nDHCP bind ... ");

error = ipcfg_bind_dhcp_wait(IPCFG_default_enet_device, 1, &ip_data);

if (error != IPCFG_ERROR_OK) {

printf("\nRTCS failed to bind interface with IPv4, error = %X", error);

}

else {

printf("Successful!\n");

}

and the output i get on the screen is :

Waiting for ethernet cable plug in ... Cable connected.

DHCP bind ...

RTCS failed to bind interface with IPv4, error = 1D04

Finish init

now according to rtcs.h 0x1D04 = 0x1000 + 0x0D04 = RTCS_ERROR_BASE + RTCSERR_IPCFG_BIND

and what exactly RTCSERR_IPCFG_BIND mean. why it is not able to bind? please help me resolving this issue.

Hi Swapnil,

First you need to make sure that the DHCP server gives you IP address to the board. I suggest testing the example

C:\Program Files\Freescale\Freescale MQX 3.8\demo\security_webserver

If this one works with your DHCP server then you should take the code from this example. The function SEC_InitializeNetworking() does the magic.

I hope this helps you.

i solved this problem.

1. The solution to it is in setting the values of pcbs,msg,sockets in range from 6 to 40 as per your need(tested till 40). then the code will work.

/* runtime RTCS configuration */      
_RTCSPCB_init = pcbs;      
_RTCS_msgpool_init = msgs;      
_RTCS_socket_part_init = sockets;  
error = RTCS_create();  
if (error != RTCS_OK)

2. recompile the RTCS_library then bsp if still the problem exist then just copy the rtcs_init() funtion from demo/web_hvac or from new project wizard generated rtcs_init.c The problem has to solve.
