Hi all,
I work on a project where we need a TCP/IP stack for a LPC1778-based system. We hope we can deploy LPCOpen, as it comes with FreeRTOS, lwIP and the ethernet controller port. As a first step I try to make the lwip_tcpecho_freertos example work.
At first lack of ordinary makefiles, as required for our CodeSourcery (Lite Edition) toolchain, made it quite an adventure. Next problem were the hard faults, stack overruns and failures with FreeRTOS memory allocation (malloc() based heap3.c). Since I use heap1.c it runs stable. It does not yet echo incoming TCP workload, but right now I'm optimistic that I can it make run as intended.
What concerns me, however, is whether the LPCOpen Platform will at some point become accessible via <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_%28software%29">git</a>.
When I started, the latest version was LPCOpen V1.02. Now the latest version is 1.03. And v1.04 will soon be available ...
It would be much easier to stay up to date with the latest version, if LPCOpen was available via git.
Best regards,
Andreas
GIT is used internall with the LPCOpen platform, but at least for the short-term, there ar no plans for making the LPCOpen GIT repository public. Between releases, a lot happens inside the LPCOpen platform and not everything works on all check-ins (vs sanity and build checks for released versions) in our internal repo. Additionally, there are a lot of files inside the internal version that aren't in the released ZIP versions due to licensing issues, build issues, etc. that makes releasing these publicly not (yet) possible.
Hi,
Given that NXP are "git aware" it's bizarre that LPCOpen is not in a (publicly accessible) git repo. Hopefully, it will be soon.
Cheers,
Mark
