FNET for K60

romano_r1 — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 19:02:25 GMT

Hi.

I will have to take a decision about selection the microcontroller. I must choice between MCF52259 and K60. Very helpful for me will be the answer for the following question:

- What is the estimated date when the FNET for K60 will appear?

Hi Romano,

I am working now on Kinetis (K60N512) support.

I cannot promise to you any concrete date for release, as it hardly depends on my workload and interruption by other projects.

Thanks,

Andrey Butok

Hi Roman,

You are right (about August).

FNET version 1.0.0 released (http://fnet.sourceforge.net):

- Added Kinetis (ARM Cortex-M4) - MK60N512 support.

- Added support of the IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM compiler, version 6.1.

- Added standard FNET demo applications for the TWR-K60N512 board, including the FNET on-chip Bootloader.

- Added support of little-endian platforms, defined by FNET_CFG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN.

- Added set of functions and macroses that convert values between host and network byte order (like fnet_ntohs(), fnet_htonl() and etc. ).

- Added common on-chip Flash memory driver for Kinetis (FTFL) and ColdFire (CFM) modules.

- Added support of 16 bits and 24 bits addressing in the S-record file format for the FNET Bootloader.

- Added common FEC driver for Kinetis and ColdFire platform.- Improved response of the Telnet server.

- Added the fnet_telnet_close_session() function, which closes the currently active session of the Telnet Server.

- Added the fnet_println() function that prints formatted text to the stream and terminates it by line separator string.

- Added fnet_serial_flush() function that sends/flushes data from the internal stream buffer to the stream client, it has meaning only for buffered streams.

- Applied optimized version of the IP checksum calculation and the fnet_memcpy() function.

Hi Andrey,

Congrats for the great project. Are you intending to release a FNET demo for Codewarrior 10.1 (Kinetis K60N512)?

Gustavo

Hi Gustavo,

Yes, but I would wait for CW10.2.

Thank you,

Hi Andrey,

I am very nice surprised You did FNET so quick (I expected the solution in August). In two days I'm going for vacation, but after that I try to use new version FNET for Kinetis. Thank You very much again for your solution, It will be very helpful for me.

Best regards

Romano

Hello,
What do you mean for CW10.2? I'm very interested to use FNET (realy great project) in CW10.x project but I can't find any news about CW10.2 version. Do you know for when the new upgrade is planned?
Thank you very much

Hi Claudo,

If you have not found any information about it, it means that it is not for public.

BTW:

FNET is done mainly in free time.

So if it is need something ASAP - to add new feature, to improve something or to add support of new compiler, you should ask/push Freescale (your FAE or other valuable contacts you have). My pushing does not work.

Thank you,

Andrey Butok

Hi Andrey,

Thank you for reply. I think I will follow your advice.
In the while I found some instructions in the FNET_and_MQX Rev1.4 document related to M52259DEMO board and MQX™ RTOS Version 3.6: I will try to apply theese instructions to Kinetis K60 and MQX™ RTOS Version 3.7 but I'm new with Kinetis, CW10.1 and the FREESCALE products in general and something is not completely clear for me.

FNET version 1.1.2 released

butok — Mon, 05 Sep 2011 16:02:29 GMT

FNET version 1.1.2 released (http://fnet.sourceforge.net):

- FNET Throughput Benchmark tool:

* Added "IP Don`t Fragment" option.

* Added "IP Time to Live" option.

* Added "Timeout" option (in seconds) for sending.

User is able to choose to stop the sending after the number of sent

messages or after the timeout.

* Added possibility of joining of a UDP Multicast group by the receiver.

* Added "refresh" button that updates "Local IP address" combo-box,

in case a network interface enabled/disabled during work of application.

* Added acknowledge packet, at the end of UDP data transfer session,

which contains amount of received data. It helps to determine the amount

of data was received and lost during UDP transfer.

* Throughout value in Bytes/sec was replaced by Kbits/sec.

* Other minor improvements in user interface.

- Added the FNET_CPU_INSTRUCTION_ADDR() macro that sets Thumb bit

of an address for Kinetis entry point (and does nothing for ColdFire).

It is used by the FNET boot-loader and fixes issue caused by SREC files

generated by CodeWarrior for Kinetis.

- Fixed issue in MCF52235 initialization for UART number 2.

- Fixed potential issue in initialization of the DNS client application.

- Fixed potential issue in the fnet_str_to_mac() function.

- Fixed the "strict ANSI C" CW compiler errors.

- Fixed some GCC compiler errors and warnings (even if GCC is not supported).

- Other minor changes/fixes.

Thank you,

Andrey Butok

FYI:

New AN “Ethernet Bootloader for MCU”:

http://www.freescale.com/files/microcontrollers/doc/app_note/AN4367.pdf

I have not found any reference to FNET in the text,

but based on source code examples, it is used the FNET Bootloader

Hi Andrey, any chance we could see this for CW 10.1?

At the moment I"m struggling to get this going with CW - trying to port from the IAR example (due to the fact I'm a novice on the field!) but it would help a lot my MSc project if I could start with a working demo project for Kinetis in CW 10.1

Thanks

Hector

Re: FNET version 1.0.0 released

butok — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 14:35:09 GMT

Hi Hector,

Yes. The CW10.x support by FNET is very critical and very wanted.

So I have tried to use this fact for creation of outside/customer pressure on FSL BU. It was useful, but official resources for FNET-development are not allocated.

In any case, I am going to find time and will add official CW10.x support (and other features) to FNET.
>> any chance we could see this for CW 10.1?

Yes. You will see it but not very soon.

BTW:

1) If it is needed something ASAP - to add new feature/protocol, to improve something

or to add support of new compiler, you should ask/push Freescale (your FAE or other valuable contact you have).

2) Any contribution to the FNET project is appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Butok,

I am also interested in FNET bootloader for CW10.x. Can you please let me know when this will be availiable ?

If its going to take long, can you please advise some steps in order to add it to CW10.x.

Thanks,

Mohsin

Re: FNET version 1.0.0 released

Mohsin455 — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:35:35 GMT

Anyone from freescale listening please ?

We really need some advise to get the FNET working for TWRK60N512 working with CW10.x. At present it only supports iararm6.1 (fnet_demos\mk60n512\boot\iararm6.1).

Please help.

Thanks,

Mohsin

Do the following:

1) Open a Service Request (SR) by clicking on this link.

2) On the Service Request page, pick a category of Software Product Support, and topic of CodeWarrior.

3) On the next page of the SR submission process, choose Enhancement and explain what you need.

This way your request is formally entered into the CodeWarrior database.
