Examples


Selecting Examples

The examples directory contains several sample applications that can be linked
with NuttX. The specific example is selected in the
boards/<arch-name>/<chip-name>/<board-name>/configs/<config>/defconfig file
via the CONFIG_EXAMPLES_xyz setting where xyz is the name of the example.
For example:

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HELLO=y


Selects the examples/hello Hello, World! example.


Built-In Functions

Some of the examples may be built as built-in functions that can be executed
at run time (rather than as NuttX main programs). These built-in examples
can be also be executed from the NuttShell (NSH) command line. In order to
configure these built-in NSH functions, you have to set up the following:


CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS – Enable support for external registered, named
applications that can be executed from the NSH command line (see
apps/README.md for more information).

bridge Network Bridge

A simple test of a system with multiple networks. It simply echoes all UDP
packets received on network 1 and network 2 to network 2 and network 1,
respectively. Interface 1 and interface may or may not lie on the same
network.


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_BRIDGE – Enables the simple UDP bridge test.


There identical configurations for each of the two networks, NETn where n
refers to the network being configured n={1,2}. Let m refer to the other
network.


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_BRIDGE_NETn_IFNAME – The register name of the network n

can CAN Device Test

If the CAN device is configured in loopback mode, then this example can be used
to test the CAN device in loop back mode. It simple sinces a sequence of CAN
messages and verifies that those messages are returned exactly as sent.

This test depends on these specific CAN/NSH configurations settings (your
specific CAN settings might require additional settings).


CONFIG_CAN – Enables CAN support.

CONFIG_CAN_LOOPBACK – A CAN driver may or may not support a loopback mode
for testing. The STM32 CAN driver does support loopback mode.

verified. The behavior can be altered for other kinds of testing where the test
only sends or received (but does not verify) can messages.


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_CAN_READONLY – Only receive messages.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_CAN_WRITEONLY – Only send messages.


canard


Example application for canutils/libcarnard.


cctype


Verifies all possible inputs for all functions defined in the header file
cctype.


chat AT over TTY

Demonstrates AT chat functionality over a TTY device. This is useful with AT
modems, for example, to establish a pppd connection (see the related pppd
example). Moreover, some AT modems – such as ones made by u-blox – have an
internal TCP/IP stack, often with an implementation of TLS/SSL. In such cases
the chat utility can be used to configure the internal TCP/IP stack, establish
socket connections, set up security (e.g., download base64-encoded certificates
to the modem), and perform data exchange through sockets over the TTY device.

Useful configuration parameters:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_CHAT_PRESET[0..3] – preset chat scripts.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_CHAT_TTY_DEVNODE – TTY device node name.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_CHAT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS – default receive timeout.


configdata


This is a Unit Test for the MTD configuration data driver.


cpuhog Keep CPU Busy

Attempts to keep the system busy by passing data through a pipe in loop back
mode. This may be useful if you are trying run down other problems that you
think might only occur when the system is very busy.


dac Write to DAC

This is a tool for writing values to DAC device.


dhcpd DHCP Server

This examples builds a tiny DHCP server for the target system.

Note: For test purposes, this example can be built as a host-based DHCPD
server. This can be built as follows:

cd examples/dhcpd
make -f Makefile.host TOPDIR=<nuttx-directory>


NuttX configuration settings:


CONFIG_NET=y – of course.

CONFIG_NET_UDP=y – UDP support is required for DHCP (as well as various
other UDP-related configuration settings).

CONFIG_NET_BROADCAST=y – UDP broadcast support is needed.

CONFIG_NETUTILS_NETLIB=y – The networking library is needed.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DHCPD_NOMAC – (May be defined to use software assigned MAC)


See also CONFIG_NETUTILS_DHCPD_* settings described elsewhere and used in
netutils/dhcpd/dhcpd.c. These settings are required to described the behavior
of the daemon.


discover UDP Discover Daemon

This example exercises netutils/discover utility. This example initializes and
starts the UDP discover daemon. This daemon is useful for discovering devices in
local networks, especially with DHCP configured devices. It listens for UDP
broadcasts which also can include a device class so that groups of devices can
be discovered. It is also possible to address all classes with a kind of
broadcast discover.

This example will automatically be built as an NSH built-in if
CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS is selected. Otherwise, it will be a standalone
program with entry point discover_main.

NuttX configuration settings:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DISCOVER_DHCPC – DHCP Client.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DISCOVER_NOMAC – Use canned MAC address.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DISCOVER_IPADDR – Target IP address.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DISCOVER_DRIPADDR – Router IP address.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DISCOVER_NETMASK – Network Mask.


djoystick Discrete Joystick

This is a simple test of the discrete joystick driver. See details about this
driver in nuttx/include/nuttx/input/djoystick.h.

Configuration Pre-requisites:


CONFIG_DJOYSTICK – The discrete joystick driver.


Example Configuration:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DJOYSTICK – Enabled the discrete joystick example.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DJOYSTICK_DEVNAME – Joystick device name. Default
/dev/djoy0.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_DJOYSTICK_SIGNO – Signal used to signal the test
application. Default 13.


dsptest DSP

This is a Unit Test for the NuttX DSP library. It use Unity testing framework.

Dependencies:

CONFIG_LIBDSP=y
CONFIG_LIBDSP_DEBUG=y
CONFIG_TESTING_UNITY=y


Optional configuration:


CONFIG_TESTING_UNITY_OUTPUT_COLOR – enable colored output.


elf ELF loader

This example builds a small ELF loader test case. This includes several test
programs under examples/elf tests. These tests are build using the relocatable
ELF format and installed in a ROMFS file system. At run time, each program in
the ROMFS file system is executed. Requires CONFIG_ELF. Other configuration
options:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_ELF_DEVMINOR – The minor device number of the ROMFS block
driver. For example, the N in /dev/ramN. Used for registering the RAM
block driver that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the ELF
executables to be tested. Default: 0.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_ELF_DEVPATH – The path to the ROMFS block driver device.
This must match EXAMPLES_ELF_DEVMINOR. Used for registering the RAM block
driver that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the ELF executables to
be tested. Default: /dev/ram0.


Notes:


CFLAGS should be provided in CELFFLAGS. RAM and FLASH memory regions may
require long allcs. For ARM, this might be:


   CELFFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -mlong-calls


Similarly for C++ flags which must be provided in CXXELFFLAGS.


Your top-level nuttx/Make.defs file must also include an appropriate
definition, LDELFFLAGS, to generate a relocatable ELF object. With GNU LD,
this should include -r and -e main (or _main on some platforms).


   LDELFFLAGS = -r -e main


If you use GCC to link, you make also need to include -nostdlib or
   -nostartfiles and -nodefaultlibs.


This example also requires genromfs. genromfs can be build as part of the
nuttx toolchain. Or can built from the genromfs sources that can be found
in the NuttX tools repository (genromfs-0.5.2.tar.gz). In any event, the
PATH variable must include the path to the genromfs executable.
ELF size: The ELF files in this example are, be default, quite large because
they include a lot of build garbage. You can greatly reduce the size of the
ELF binaries are using the objcopy --strip-unneeded command to remove
un-necessary information from the ELF files.
Simulator. You cannot use this example with the NuttX simulator on Cygwin.
That is because the Cygwin GCC does not generate ELF file but rather some
Windows-native binary format.


If you really want to do this, you can create a NuttX x86 buildroot toolchain
   and use that be build the ELF executables for the ROMFS file system.


Linker scripts. You might also want to use a linker scripts to combine
sections better. An example linker script is at
nuttx/binfmt/libelf/gnu-elf.ld. That example might have to be tuned for
your particular linker output to position additional sections correctly. The
GNU LD LDELFFLAGS then might be:


   LDELFFLAGS = -r -e main -T$(TOPDIR)/binfmt/libelf/gnu-elf.ld


fb Framebuffer

A simple test of the framebuffer character driver.


flash_test SMART Flash

This example performs a SMART flash block device test. This test performs a
sector allocate, read, write, free and garbage collection test on a SMART MTD
block device.


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FLASH_TEST=y – Enables the FLASH Test.


Dependencies:


CONFIG_MTD_SMART=y – SMART block driver support.

CONFIG_BUILD_PROTECTED=n and CONFIG_BUILD_KERNEL=n – This test uses
internal OS interfaces and so is not available in the NUTTX kernel builds.


flowc Serial Hardware Flow Control

A simple test of serial hardware flow control.


ft80x FT80x GUI Chip

This examples has ports of several FTDI demos for the FTDI/BridgeTek FT80x GUI
chip. As an example configuration, see
nuttx/boards/arm/stm32/viewtool-stm32f107/configs/ft80x/defconfig.


ftpc FTP Client

This is a simple FTP client shell used to exercise the capabilities of the FTPC
library (apps/netutils/ftpc).

From NSH, the startup command sequence is as follows. This is only an example,
your configuration could have different mass storage devices, mount paths, and
FTP directories:

nsh> mount -t vfat /dev/mmcsd0 /tmp  # Mount the SD card at /tmp
nsh> cd /tmp                         # cd into the /tmp directory
nsh> ftpc xx.xx.xx.xx[:pp]           # Start the FTP client
nfc> login <name> <password>         # Log into the FTP server
nfc> help                            # See a list of FTP commands


where xx.xx.xx.xx is the IP address of the FTP server and pp is an optional
port number.

Note: By default, FTPC uses readline to get data from stdin. So your
defconfig file must have the following build path:

CONFIG_SYSTEM_READLINE=y


Note: If you use the ftpc task over a telnet NSH connection, then you should
set the following configuration item:

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPC_FGETS=y


By default, the FTPC client will use readline() to get characters from the
console. Readline includes and command-line editor and echos characters received
in stdin back through stdout. Neither of these behaviors are desire-able if
Telnet is used.

You may also want to define the following in your configuration file. Otherwise,
you will have not feedback about what is going on:

CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_FTPC=y


ftpd FTP daemon

This example exercises the FTPD daemon at apps/netuils/ftpd. Below are
configurations specific to the FTPD example (the FTPD daemon itself may require
other configuration options as well).


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD – Enable the FTPD example.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD_PRIO – Priority of the FTP daemon. Default:
SCHED_PRIORITY_DEFAULT.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD_STACKSIZE – Stack size allocated for the FTP daemon.
Default: 2048.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD_NONETINIT – Define to suppress configuration of the
network by apps/examples/ftpd. You would need to suppress network
configuration if the network is configuration prior to running the example.


NSH always initializes the network so if CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT is defined, so is
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD_NONETINIT (se it does not explicitly need to be defined
in that case):


CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS – Build the FTPD daemon example test as an NSH
built-in function. By default the FTPD daemon will be built as a standalone
application.


If CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD_NONETINIT is not defined, then the following may be
specified to customized the network configuration:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD_NOMAC – If the hardware has no MAC address of its own,
define this =y to provide a bogus address for testing.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD_IPADDR – The target IP address. Default 10.0.0.2.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD_DRIPADDR – The default router address. Default:
10.0.0.1.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_FTPD_NETMASK – The network mask. Default: 255.255.255.0.


Other required configuration settings: Of course TCP networking support is
required. But here are a couple that are less obvious:


CONFIG_DISABLE_PTHREAD – pthread support is required.


Other FTPD configuration options they may be of interest:


CONFIG_FTPD_VENDORID – The vendor name to use in FTP communications.
Default: NuttX.

CONFIG_FTPD_SERVERID – The server name to use in FTP communications.
Default: NuttX FTP Server.

CONFIG_FTPD_CMDBUFFERSIZE – The maximum size of one command. Default: 512
bytes.

CONFIG_FTPD_DATABUFFERSIZE – The size of the I/O buffer for data transfers.
Default: 2048 bytes.

CONFIG_FTPD_WORKERSTACKSIZE – The stacksize to allocate for each FTP daemon
worker thread. Default: 2048 bytes.


The following netutils libraries should be enabled in your defconfig file:

CONFIG_NETUTILS_NETLIB=y
CONFIG_NETUTILS_TELNED=y


gpio GPIO Read and Write

A simple test/example of the NuttX GPIO driver.


hello Hello World

This is the mandatory, Hello, World!! example. It is little more than
examples/null with a single printf statement. Really useful only for
bringing up new NuttX architectures.


CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS – Build the Hello, World example as an NSH
built-in application.


helloxx Hello World in C++

This is C++ version of the Hello, World!! example. It is intended only to
verify that the C++ compiler is functional, that basic C++ library support is
available, and that class are instantiated correctly.

NuttX configuration prerequisites:


CONFIG_HAVE_CXX – Enable C++ Support.


Optional NuttX configuration settings:


CONFIG_HAVE_CXXINITIALIZE – Enable support for static constructors (may not
be available on all platforms).


NuttX configuration settings specific to this example:


CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS – Build the helloxx example as a built-in that can
be executed from the NSH command line.


Also needed:


CONFIG_HAVE_CXX=y


And you may have to tinker with the following to get libxx to compile properly:


CCONFIG_ARCH_SIZET_LONG=y or =n.


The argument of the new operators should take a type of size_t. But size_t
has an unknown underlying. In the nuttx sys/types.h header file, size_t is
typed as uint32_t (which is determined by architecture-specific logic). But
the C++ compiler may believe that size_t is of a different type resulting in
compilation errors in the operator. Using the underlying integer type Instead of
size_t seems to resolve the compilation issues.


hidkbd USB Host HID keyboard

This is a simple test to debug/verify the USB host HID keyboard class driver.


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD_DEFPRIO – Priority of waiter thread. Default: 50.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD_STACKSIZE – Stacksize of waiter thread. Default
1024.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD_DEVNAME – Name of keyboard device to be used.
Default: /dev/kbda.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_HIDKBD_ENCODED –  Decode special key press events in the
user buffer. In this case, the example coded will use the interfaces defined
in include/nuttx/input/kbd_codec.h to decode the returned keyboard data.
These special keys include such things as up/down arrows, home and end keys,
etc. If this not defined, only 7-bit printable and control ASCII characters
will be provided to the user. Requires CONFIG_HIDKBD_ENCODED and
CONFIG_LIB_KBDCODEC.


igmp Trivial IGMP

This is a trivial test of the NuttX IGMP capability. It present it does not do
much of value – Much more is needed in order to verify the IGMP features!


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_IGMP_NOMAC – Set if the hardware has no MAC address; one
will be assigned.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_IGMP_IPADDR – Target board IP address.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_IGMP_DRIPADDR – Default router address.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_IGMP_NETMASK – Network mask.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_IGMP_GRPADDR – Multicast group address.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NETLIB – The networking library is needed.


i2cchar Transfer Through I2C

A mindlessly simple test of an I2C driver. It reads an write garbage data to the
I2C transmitter and/or received as fast possible.

This test depends on these specific I2S/AUDIO/NSH configurations settings (your
specific I2S settings might require additional settings).


CONFIG_I2S – Enabled I2S support.

CONFIG_AUDIO – Enabled audio support.

CONFIG_DRIVERS_AUDIO – Enable audio device support.

CONFIG_AUDIO_I2SCHAR – Enabled support for the I2S character device.

CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS – Build the I2S test as an NSH built-in function.
Default: Built as a standalone program.


Specific configuration options for this example include:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_I2SCHAR – Enables the I2C test.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_I2SCHAR_DEVPATH – The default path to the ADC device.
Default: /dev/i2schar0.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_I2SCHAR_TX – This should be set if the I2S device supports a
transmitter.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_I2SCHAR_TXBUFFERS – This is the default number of audio
buffers to send before the TX transfers terminate. When both TX and RX
transfers terminate, the task exits (and, if an NSH builtin, the i2schar
command returns). This number can be changed from the NSH command line.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_I2SCHAR_TXSTACKSIZE – This is the stack size to use when
starting the transmitter thread. Default 1536.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_I2SCHAR_RX – This should be set if the I2S device supports a
transmitter.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_I2SCHAR_RXBUFFERS – This is the default number of audio
buffers to receive before the RX transfers terminate. When both TX and RX
transfers terminate, the task exits (and, if an NSH builtin, the i2schar
command returns). This number can be changed from the NSH command line.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_I2SCHAR_RXSTACKSIZE – This is the stack size to use when
starting the receiver thread. Default 1536.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_I2SCHAR_BUFSIZE – The size of the data payload in one audio
buffer. Applies to both TX and RX audio buffers.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_I2SCHAR_DEVINIT – Define if architecture-specific I2S device
initialize is available. If defined, the platform specific code must provide a
function i2schar_devinit() that will be called each time that this test
executes. Not available in the kernel build mode.


ina219 Current/Power Monitor INA219


This is a simple infinite loop that polls the INA219 sensor and displays the
measurements.


ipforward IP Forwarding Using TUN

A simple test of IP forwarding using TUN devices. This can be used on any
platform, but was intended for use on the simulation platform because it
performs a test of IP forwarding without the use of hardware.


json cJSON

This example exercises the cJSON implementation at apps/netutils/json. This
example contains logic taken from the cJSON project:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cjson/

The example corresponds to SVN revision r42 (with lots of changes for NuttX
coding standards). As of r42, the SVN repository was last updated on
2011-10-10 so I presume that the code is stable and there is no risk of
maintaining duplicate logic in the NuttX repository.


leds Toggle LEDs

This is a simple test of the board LED driver at
nuttx/drivers/leds/userled_*.c.


lis2csh_reader LIS3DSH Accelerometer

A simple reader example for the LIS3DSH acceleration sensor as found on
STM32F4Discovery rev. C.


hts221_reader HTS221 Humidity Sensor

A simple reader example for the HTS221 humidity sensor.


lsm303_reader LSM303 Accelerometer/Magnetometer

A simple reader example for the LSM303 acc-mag sensor.


lsm6dsl_reader LSM6DSL Accelerometer/Gyroscope

A simple reader example for the LSM6DSL acc-gyro sensor.


media


The media test simply writes values onto the media hidden behind a character
driver and verifies that the media can be successfully written and read. This
low level test is useful in the early phases of the bringup of a new block or
mtd driver because it avoids the complexity of a file system.

This test uses a character driver and cannot directly access block or mtd
drivers. This test is suitable for use EEPROM character drivers (see
nuttx/drivers/eeprom), or with block drivers wrapped as character drivers (see
nuttx/drivers/bch)

int ret = bchdev_register(<path-to-block-dirver>,
                          <path-to-character-driver>, false);


MTD drivers need an additional wrapper layer, the FTL wrapper must first be used
to convert the MTD driver to a block device:

int ret = ftl_initialize(<N>, mtd);
ret = bchdev_register(/dev/mtdblock<N>, <path-to-character-driver>,
                      false);


module Loadable Module

This example builds a small loadable module test case. This includes a character
driver under examples/module/drivers. This driver is built using the
relocatable ELF format and installed in a ROMFS file system. At run time, the
driver module is loaded and exercised. Requires CONFIG_MODULE. Other
configuration options:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_ELF_DEVMINOR – The minor device number of the ROMFS block
driver. For example, the N in /dev/ramN. Used for registering the RAM
block driver that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the ELF
executables to be tested. Default: 0.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_ELF_DEVPATH – The path to the ROMFS block driver device.
This must match EXAMPLES_ELF_DEVMINOR. Used for registering the RAM block
driver that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the ELF executables to
be tested. Default: /dev/ram0.


Notes:


CFLAGS should be provided in CMODULEFLAGS. RAM and FLASH memory regions
may require long allcs. For ARM, this might be:


   CMODULEFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -mlong-calls


Similarly for C++ flags which must be provided in CXXMODULEFLAGS.


Your top-level nuttx/Make.defs file must also include an appropriate
definition, LDMODULEFLAGS, to generate a relocatable ELF object. With GNU LD,
this should include -r and -e <entry point>.


   LDMODULEFLAGS = -r -e module_initialize


If you use GCC to link, you make also need to include -nostdlib or
   -nostartfiles and -nodefaultlibs.


This example also requires genromfs. genromfs can be build as part of the
nuttx toolchain. Or can built from the genromfs sources that can be found
in the NuttX tools repository (genromfs-0.5.2.tar.gz). In any event, the
PATH variable must include the path to the genromfs executable.
ELF size: The ELF files in this example are, be default, quite large because
they include a lot of build garbage. You can greatly reduce the size of the
ELF binaries are using the objcopy --strip-unneeded command to remove
un-necessary information from the ELF files.
Simulator. You cannot use this example with the NuttX simulator on Cygwin.
That is because the Cygwin GCC does not generate ELF file but rather some
Windows-native binary format.


If you really want to do this, you can create a NuttX x86 buildroot
   toolchain and use that be build the ELF executables for the ROMFS file
   system.


Linker scripts. You might also want to use a linker scripts to combine
sections better. An example linker script is at
nuttx/libc/modlib/gnu-elf.ld. That example might have to be tuned for your
particular linker output to position additional sections correctly. The GNU
LD LDMODULEFLAGS then might be:


   LDMODULEFLAGS = -r -e module_initialize -T$(TOPDIR)/libc/modlib/gnu-elf.ld


modbus FreeModbus

This is a port of the FreeModbus Linux demo. It derives from the demos/LINUX
directory of the FreeModBus version 1.5.0 (June 6, 2010) that can be
downloaded in its entirety from

mount Mount Filesystem

This contains a simple test of filesystem mountpoints.


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MOUNT_DEVNAME – The name of the user-provided block device
to mount. If CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MOUNT_DEVNAME is not provided, then a RAM disk
will be configured.

mtdpart MTD Partition Test

This examples provides a simple test of MTD partition logic.


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDPART – Enables the MTD partition test example.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDPART_ARCHINIT – The default is to use the RAM MTD device
at drivers/mtd/rammtd.c. But an architecture-specific MTD driver can be used
instead by defining CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDPART_ARCHINIT. In this case, the
initialization logic will call mtdpart_archinitialize() to obtain the MTD
driver instance.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDPART_NPARTITIONS – This setting provides the number of
partitions to test. The test will divide the reported size of the MTD device
into equal-sized sub-regions for each test partition. Default: 3.


When CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDPART_ARCHINIT is not defined, this test will use the
RAM MTD device at drivers/mtd/rammtd.c to simulate FLASH. The size of the
allocated RAM drive will be: CONFIG_EXMPLES_RAMMTD_ERASESIZE *
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDPART_NEBLOCKS.


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDPART_ERASESIZE – This value gives the size of one erase
block in the MTD RAM device. This must exactly match the default configuration
in drivers/mtd/rammtd.c!
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDPART_NEBLOCKS – This value gives the number of erase
blocks in MTD RAM device.

at drivers/mtd/rammtd.c. But an architecture-specific MTD driver can be used
instead by defining CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDRWB_ARCHINIT. In this case, the
initialization logic will call mtdrwb_archinitialize() to obtain the MTD
driver instance.


When CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDRWB_ARCHINIT is not defined, this test will use the
RAM MTD device at drivers/mtd/rammtd.c to simulate FLASH. The size of the
allocated RAM drive will be: CONFIG_EXMPLES_RAMMTD_ERASESIZE *
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDRWB_NEBLOCKS


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDRWB_ERASESIZE – This value gives the size of one erase
block in the MTD RAM device. This must exactly match the default configuration
in drivers/mtd/rammtd.c!
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MTDRWB_NEBLOCKS – This value gives the number of erase
blocks in MTD RAM device.

I used GIMP output the image as a .c file.


I added some C logic to palette-ize the RGB image in the GIMP .c file.


Then I add some simple run-length encoding to palette-ized image.


But now there is a tool that can be found in the NxWidgets package at
NxWidgets/tools/bitmap_converter.py that can be used to convert any graphics
format to the NuttX RLE format.

Note: As of this writing, most of the pixel depth, scaling options, and
combinations thereof have not been tested.

function.


nxtext Display NX Text

This directory contains another simple test of a subset of the NX APIs defined
in include/nuttx/nx/nx.h. This text focuses on text displays on the display
background combined with pop-up displays over the text. The text display will
continue to update while the pop-up is visible.

Note: This example will only work with FB drivers and with LCD drivers
that support reading the contents of the internal LCD memory unless you
define CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_NOGETRUN. If you notice garbage on the display
or a failure at the point where the display should scroll, it is probably
because you have an LCD driver that is write-only.

The following configuration options can be selected:

2, 4, 8, 16, 24 and 32. Default is 32.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_NOGETRUN – If your display is read-only OR if reading
is not reliable, then select this configuration to avoid reading from the
display.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NXTEXT_BMCACHE – The maximum number of characters that can
be put in the background window. Default is 128.

CONFIG_DISABLE_PTHREAD=n
CONFIG_NX_BLOCKING=y


null


This is the do nothing application. It is only used for bringing up new NuttX
architectures in the most minimal of environments.


obd2


A simple test of apps/canutils/libobd2.


oneshot Oneshot Timer

Simple test of a oneshot driver.


pca9635 PCA9635PW LED

A simple test of the PCA9635PW LED driver.


pdcurses


This directory contains the demo/test programs that accompany the public
domain cursors package (pdcurses) that can be found at
apps/graphics/pdcurs34.


pipe


A test of the mkfifo() and pipe() APIs. Requires CONFIG_PIPES


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_PIPE_STACKSIZE – Sets the size of the stack to use when
creating the child tasks. The default size is 1024.


poll


A test of the poll() and select() APIs using FIFOs and, if available,
stdin, and a TCP/IP socket. In order to use the TCP/IP select test, you must
have the following things selected in your NuttX configuration file:


CONFIG_NET                        – Defined for general network support.

CONFIG_NET_TCP                    – Defined for TCP/IP support.

CONFIG_NET_NTCP_READAHEAD_BUFFERS – Defined to be greater than zero.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_POLL_NOMAC        – (May be defined to use software assigned
MAC)

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_POLL_IPADDR       – Target IP address.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_POLL_DRIPADDR     – Default router IP address.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_POLL_NETMASK      – Network mask.


In order to for select to work with incoming connections, you must also select:


CONFIG_NET_TCPBACKLOG – Incoming connections pend in a backlog until
accept() is called.


In additional to the target device-side example, there is also a host-side
application in this directory. It can be compiled under Linux or Cygwin as
follows:

cd examples/usbserial
make -f Makefile.host TOPDIR=<nuttx-directory> TARGETIP=<target-ip>


Where <target-ip> is the IP address of your target board.

This will generate a small program called 'host'. Usage:


Build the examples/poll target program with TCP/IP poll support and start
the target.
Then start the host application:


   ./host


The host and target will exchange are variety of small messages. Each message
sent from the host should cause the select to return in target. The target
example should read the small message and send it back to the host. The host
should then receive the echo'ed message.

If networking is enabled, applications using this example will need to provide
the following definition in the defconfig file to enable the networking
library:


CONFIG_NETUTILS_NETLIB=y


posix_spawn


This is a simple test of the posix_spawn() API. The example derives from
examples/elf. As a result, these tests are built using the relocatable ELF
format installed in a ROMFS file system. At run time, the test program in the
ROMFS file system is spawned using posix_spawn().

Requires:


CONFIG_BINFMT_DISABLE=n – Don't disable the binary loader.

CONFIG_ELF=y – Enable ELF binary loader.

CONFIG_LIBC_EXECFUNCS=y – Enable support for posix_spawn.

CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_SYMTAB_ARRAY="g_spawn_exports" – The name of the symbol
table created by the test.

CONFIG_EXECFUNCS_NSYMBOLS_VAR="g_spawn_nexports" – Name of variable holding
the number of symbols.

CONFIG_POSIX_SPAWN_STACKSIZE=768 – This default setting.


Test-specific configuration options:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_POSIXSPAWN_DEVMINOR – The minor device number of the ROMFS
block. driver. For example, the N in /dev/ramN. Used for registering the
RAM block driver that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the ELF
executables to be tested. Default: 0.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_POSIXSPAWN_DEVPATH – The path to the ROMFS block driver
device. This must match EXAMPLES_POSIXSPAWN_DEVMINOR. Used for registering
the RAM block driver that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the ELF
executables to be tested. Default: /dev/ram0.


Notes:


CFLAGS should be provided in CELFFLAGS. RAM and FLASH memory regions may
require long allcs. For ARM, this might be:

CELFFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -mlong-calls


Similarly for C++ flags which must be provided in CXXELFFLAGS.

Your top-level nuttx/Make.defs file must also include an appropriate
definition, LDELFFLAGS, to generate a relocatable ELF object. With GNU LD,
this should include -r and -e main (or _main on some platforms).


   LDELFFLAGS = -r -e main


If you use GCC to link, you make also need to include -nostdlib or
   -nostartfiles and -nodefaultlibs.


This example also requires genromfs. genromfs can be build as part of the
nuttx toolchain. Or can built from the genromfs sources that can be found
in the NuttX tools repository (genromfs-0.5.2.tar.gz). In any event, the
PATH variable must include the path to the genromfs executable.
ELF size: The ELF files in this example are, be default, quite large because
they include a lot of build garbage. You can greatly reduce the size of the
ELF binaries are using the objcopy --strip-unneeded command to remove
un-necessary information from the ELF files.
Simulator. You cannot use this example with the NuttX simulator on Cygwin.
That is because the Cygwin GCC does not generate ELF file but rather some
Windows-native binary format.


If you really want to do this, you can create a NuttX x86 buildroot toolchain
   and use that be build the ELF executables for the ROMFS file system.


Linker scripts. You might also want to use a linker scripts to combine
sections better. An example linker script is at
nuttx/binfmt/libelf/gnu-elf.ld. That example might have to be tuned for
your particular linker output to position additional sections correctly. The
GNU LD LDELFFLAGS then might be:


   LDELFFLAGS = -r -e main -T$(TOPDIR)/binfmt/libelf/gnu-elf.ld


powerled


This is a powerled driver example application. This application support three
operation modes which can be selected from NSH command line:


Demo mode.
Continuous mode.

pty_test Pseudo-Terminals

A test of NuttX pseudo-terminals. Provided by Alan Carvalho de Assis.


pwfb


A graphics example using pre-window frame buffers. The example shows three
windows containing text moving around, crossing each other from above and from
below. The example application is NOT updating the windows any anyway! The
application is only changing the window position. The windows are being updated
from the per-winidow framebuffers automatically.

This example is reminiscent of Pong: Each window travels in straight line until
it hits an edge, then it bounces off. The window is also raised when it hits the
edge (gets focus). This tests all combinations of overap.

Note: A significant amount of RAM, usually external SDRAM, is required to
run this demo. At 16bpp and a 480x272 display, each window requires about 70Kb
of RAM for its framebuffer.


pwm General PWM

A test of a PWM device driver. It simply enables a pulsed output for a specified
frequency and duty for a specified period of time. This example can ONLY be
built as an NSH built-in function.

This test depends on these specific PWM/NSH configurations settings (your
specific PWM settings might require additional settings).

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_PWM_PULSECOUNT – The initial PWM pulse count. This option is
only available if CONFIG_PWM_PULSECOUNT is non-zero. Default: 0 (i.e., use
the duration, not the count).


qencoder Quadrature Encoder

This example is a simple test of a Quadrature Encoder driver. It simply reads
positional data from the encoder and prints it.,

This test depends on these specific QE/NSH configurations settings (your
specific PWM settings might require additional settings).


CONFIG_SENSORS_QENCODER – Enables quadrature encoder support (upper-half
driver).

CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS – Build the QE test as an NSH built-in function.
Default: Built as a standalone program.


Additional configuration options will mostly likely be required for the board-
specific lower-half driver. See the README.txt file in your board
configuration directory.

Specific configuration options for this example include:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_QENCODER_DEVPATH – The path to the QE device. Default:
/dev/qe0.

select this example.


Configuration:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_RANDOM – Enables the /dev/random test.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_MAXSAMPLES – This is the size of the /dev/random I/O
buffer in units of 32-bit samples. Careful! This buffer is allocated on the
stack as needed! Default 64.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_NSAMPLES – When you execute the rand command, a number of
samples ranging from 1 to EXAMPLES_MAXSAMPLES may be specified. If no
argument is specified, this is the default number of samples that will be
collected and displayed. Default 8.


relays Relays

Requires CONFIG_ARCH_RELAYS. Contributed by Darcy Gong.

Note: This test exercises internal relay driver interfaces. As such, it
relies on internal OS interfaces that are not normally available to a user-space
program. As a result, this example cannot be used if a NuttX is built as a
protected, supervisor kernel (CONFIG_BUILD_PROTECTED or
CONFIG_BUILD_KERNEL).

NuttX


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SENDMAIL_BODY      – Optional. Default: Test message sent
by NuttX


Note 1: This test has not been verified on the NuttX target environment. As
of this writing, unit-tested in the Cygwin/Linux host environment.

Note 2: This sendmail example only works for the simplest of environments.
Virus protection software on your host may have to be disabled to allow you to
send messages. Only very open, unprotected recipients can be used. Most will
protect themselves from this test email because it looks like SPAM.

Applications using this example will need to enable the following netutils
libraries in their defconfig file:

CONFIG_NETUTILS_NETLIB=y
CONFIG_NETUTILS_SMTP=y


serialblaster


Sends a repeating pattern (the alphabet) out a serial port continuously. This
may be useful if you are trying run down other problems that you think might
only occur when the serial port usage is high.


serialrx


Constant receives serial data. This is the complement to serialblaster. This
may be useful if you are trying run down other problems that you think might
only occur when the serial port usage is high.


serloop Serial Loopback

This is a mindlessly simple loopback test on the console. Useful for testing new
serial drivers. Configuration options include:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SERLOOP_BUFIO – Use C buffered I/O (getchar/putchar) vs.
raw console I/O (read/read).


slcd Alphanumeric Segment LCD

A simple test of alphanumeric, segment LCDs (SLCDs).


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SLCD – Enable the SLCD test


smps Switched-Mode Power Supply

This is a SMPS (Switched-mode power supply) driver example application.


sotest Shared Library Module Test

This example builds a small shared library module test case. The test shared
library is built using the relocatable ELF format and installed in a ROMFS file
system. At run time, the shared library is installed and exercised. Requires
CONFIG_LIBC_DLFCN. Other configuration options:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SOTEST_DEVMINOR – The minor device number of the ROMFS block
driver. For example, the N in /dev/ramN. Used for registering the RAM
block driver that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the ELF
executables to be tested. Default: 0.
CONFIG_EXAMPLES_SOTEST_DEVPATH – The path to the ROMFS block driver device.
This must match EXAMPLES_ELF_DEVMINOR. Used for registering the RAM block
driver that will hold the ROMFS file system containing the ELF executables to
be tested. Default: /dev/ram0.


Notes:


CFLAGS should be provided in CMODULEFLAGS. RAM and FLASH memory regions
may require long allcs. For ARM, this might be:


   CMODULEFLAGS = $(CFLAGS) -mlong-calls


Similarly for C++ flags which must be provided in CXXMODULEFLAGS.


Your top-level nuttx/Make.defs file must also include an appropriate
definition, LDMODULEFLAGS, to generate a relocatable ELF object. With GNU
LD, this should include -r and -e <entry point>.


   LDMODULEFLAGS = -r -e module_initialize


If you use GCC to link, you make also need to include -nostdlib or
   -nostartfiles and -nodefaultlibs.


This example also requires genromfs. genromfs can be build as part of the
nuttx toolchain. Or can built from the genromfs sources that can be found
in the NuttX tools repository (genromfs-0.5.2.tar.gz). In any event, the
PATH variable must include the path to the genromfs executable.
ELF size: The ELF files in this example are, be default, quite large because
they include a lot of build garbage. You can greatly reduce the size of the
ELF binaries are using the objcopy --strip-unneeded command to remove
un-necessary information from the ELF files.
Simulator. You cannot use this example with the NuttX simulator on Cygwin.
That is because the Cygwin GCC does not generate ELF file but rather some
Windows-native binary format.


If you really want to do this, you can create a NuttX x86 buildroot toolchain
   and use that be build the ELF executables for the ROMFS file system.


Linker scripts. You might also want to use a linker scripts to combine
sections better. An example linker script is at
nuttx/libc/modlib/gnu-elf.ld. That example might have to be tuned for your
particular linker output to position additional sections correctly. The GNU
LD LDMODULEFLAGS then might be:


LDMODULEFLAGS = -r -e module_initialize -T$(TOPDIR)/libc/modlib/gnu-elf.ld


stat


A simple test of stat(), fstat(), and statfs(). This is useful primarily
for bringing up a new file system and verifying the correctness of these
operations.


sx127x_demo SX127X Radio

This example demonstrates the use of the SX127X radio.


system


This is a simple test of the system() command. The test simply executes this
system command:

ret = system("ls -Rl /");


tcpblaster TCP Performance Test

The tcpblaster example derives from the nettest example and basically
duplicates that example when the nettest PERFORMANCE option is selected.
tcpblaster has a little better reporting of performance stats, however.

character per TCP transfer):


CONFIG_STDIO_BUFFER_SIZE – Some value >= 64

CONFIG_STDIO_LINEBUFFER=y


thttpd THTTPD server

An example that builds netutils/thttpd with some simple NXFLAT CGI programs.

tiff


This is a simple unit test for the TIFF creation library at apps/graphic/tiff.
It is configured to work in the Linux user-mode simulation and has not been
tested in any other environment.

At a minimum, to run in an embedded environment, you will probably have to
change the configured paths to the TIFF files defined in the example.


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TIFF_OUTFILE – Name of the resulting TIFF file. Default is
/tmp/result.tif.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TIFF_TMPFILE1/2 – Names of two temporaries files that will
be used in the file creation. Defaults are /tmp/tmpfile1.dat and
/tmp/tmpfile2.dat.


The following must also be defined in your apps/ configuration file:

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TIFF=y
CONFIG_GRAPHICS_TIFF=y


timer


This is a simple test of the timer driver (see include/nuttx/timers/timer.h).

Dependencies:


CONFIG_TIMER – The timer driver must be selected


Example configuration:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TIMER_DEVNAME – This is the name of the timer device that
will be tested. Default: /dev/timer0.

print the touchscreen output as it is received from the simulated touchscreen
driver.


CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS – Build the touchscreen test as an NSH built-in
function. Default: Built as a standalone program.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TOUCHSCREEN_MOUSE – The touchscreen test can also be
configured to work with a mouse driver by setting this option.


The following additional configurations must be set in the NuttX configuration
file:


CONFIG_INPUT=y (plus any touchscreen-specific settings)


The following must also be defined in your apps configuration file:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_TOUCHSREEN=y


This example code will call boardctl() to setup the touchscreen driver for
texting. The implementation of boardctl() will require that board- specific
logic  provide the following interfaces that will be called by the boardctl()
in order to initialize the touchscreen hardware:

int board_tsc_setup(int minor);


udp Client/Server Over UDP

This is a simple network test for verifying client- and server- functionality
over UDP.

Applications using this example will need to enabled the following netutils
libraries in the defconfig file:


CONFIG_NETUTILS_NETLIB=y


Possible configurations:


Server on target hardware; client on host.
Client on target hardware; Server on host.
Server and Client on different targets.

See the README.txt file at nuttx/boards/sim/sim/sim/README.txt for a
walk-through of the output of this text.


usbserial USB Serial Hello World


Target configuration

This is another implementation of Hello, World but this one uses a USB serial
driver. Configuration options can be used to simply the test. These options
include:


 CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_INONLY – Only verify IN (device-to-host) data
transfers. Default: both.
 CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_OUTONLY – Only verify OUT (host-to-device) data
transfers. Default: both.
 CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_ONLYSMALL – Send only small, single packet
messages. Default: Send large and small.
 CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_ONLYBIG – Send only large, multi-packet messages.
Default: Send large and small.


If CONFIG_USBDEV_TRACE is enabled (or CONFIG_DEBUG_FEATURES and
CONFIG_DEBUG_USB), then the example code will also manage the USB trace
output. The amount of trace output can be controlled using:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACEINIT – Show initialization events.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACECLASS – Show class driver events.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACETRANSFERS – Show data transfer events.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACECONTROLLER – Show controller events.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USBSERIAL_TRACEINTERRUPTS – Show interrupt-related events.


Error results are always shown in the trace output.


Host-side test program

In additional to the target device-side example, there is also a host-side
application in this directory. This host side application must be executed on a
Linux host in order to perform the USBSERIAL test. The host application can be
compiled under Linux (or Cygwin?) as follows:

cd examples/usbserial
make -f Makefile.host TOPDIR=<nuttx-directory>


Running the test

This will generate a small program called host. Usage:


Build the examples/usbserial target program and start the target.
Wait a bit, then do enter:


   dmesg


At the end of the dmesg output, you should see the serial device was
   successfully idenfied and assigned to a tty device, probably /dev/ttyUSB0
   or /dev/ttyACM0 (depending on the configured USB serial driver).


Then start the host application:


   ./host [<tty-dev>]


Where:


<tty-dev> is the USB TTY device to use. The default is /dev/ttyUSB0
 (for the PL2303 emulation) or /dev/ttyACM0 (for the CDC/ACM serial
 device).


The host and target will exchange are variety of very small and very large
serial messages.


userfs UserFS File System

A simple test of the UserFS file system.


ustream Unix Datagram Sockets

This is the same test as examples/udp and similar to examples/ustream, but
using Unix domain datagram sockets.

Dependencies:


CONFIG_NET_LOCAL – Depends on support for Unix domain sockets.


Configuration:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_UDGRAM – Enables the Unix domain socket example.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_UDGRAM_ADDR – Specifics the Unix domain address. Default:

Configuration:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USTREAM – Enables the Unix domain socket example.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_USTREAM_ADDR – Specifics the Unix domain address. Default:
/dev/fifo.


watchdog Watchdog Timer

A simple test of a watchdog timer driver. Initializes starts the watchdog timer.
It pings the watchdog timer for a period of time then lets the watchdog timer
expire... resetting the CPU is successful. This example can ONLY be built as an
NSH built-in function.

This test depends on these specific Watchdog/NSH configurations settings (your
specific watchdog hardware settings might require additional settings).


CONFIG_WATCHDOG – Enables watchdog timer support support.

CONFIG_NSH_BUILTIN_APPS – Build the watchdog time test as an NSH built-in
function.


Specific configuration options for this example include:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG_DEVPATH – The path to the Watchdog device. Default:
/dev/watchdog0.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG_PINGTIME – Time in milliseconds that the example
will ping the watchdog before letting the watchdog expire. Default: 5000
milliseconds.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG_PINGDELAY – Time delay between pings in
milliseconds. Default: 500 milliseconds.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT – The watchdog timeout value in
milliseconds before the watchdog timer expires. Default: 2000 milliseconds.


webserver Simple Webserver

This is a port of uIP tiny webserver example application. Settings specific to
this example include:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WEBSERVER_NOMAC (may be defined to use software assigned
MAC)

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WEBSERVER_IPADDR – Target IP address.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WEBSERVER_DRIPADDR – Default router IP address.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WEBSERVER_NETMASK – Network mask.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WEBSERVER_DHCPC – Select to get IP address via DHCP.


If you use DHCPC, then some special configuration network options are required.
These include:


CONFIG_NET=y – of course.

CONFIG_NET_UDP=y – UDP support is required for DHCP (as well as various
other UDP-related configuration settings).

CONFIG_NET_BROADCAST=y – UDP broadcast support is needed.

CONFIG_NET_ETH_PKTSIZE=650 or larger. Per RFC2131 (p. 9), the DHCP client
must be prepared to receive DHCP messages of up to 576 bytes (excluding
Ethernet, IP, or UDP headers and FCS). Note that the actual MTU setting
will depend upon the specific link protocol. Here Ethernet is indicated.


Other configuration items apply also to the selected webserver net utility.
Additional relevant settings for the uIP webserver net utility are:


CONFIG_NETUTILS_HTTPDSTACKSIZE
CONFIG_NETUTILS_HTTPDFILESTATS
CONFIG_NETUTILS_HTTPDNETSTATS


Applications using this example will need to enable the following netutils
libraries in their defconfig file:

CONFIG_NETUTILS_NETLIB=y
CONFIG_NETUTILS_DHCPC=y
CONFIG_NETDB_DNSCLIENT=y
CONFIG_NETUTILS_WEBSERVER=y


Note: This example does depend on the perl script at
nuttx/tools/mkfsdata.pl. You must have perl installed on your development
system at /usr/bin/perl.


wget Web Client

A simple web client example. It will obtain a file from a server using the HTTP
protocol. Settings unique to this example include:


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WGET_URL – The URL of the file to get

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WGET_NOMAC – (May be defined to use software assigned MAC)

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WGET_IPADDR – Target IP address

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WGET_DRIPADDR – Default router IP address

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WGET_NETMASK – Network mask


This example uses netutils/webclient. Additional configuration settings apply
to that code as follows (but built-in defaults are probably OK):


CONFIG_WEBCLIENT_GETMIMETYPE
CONFIG_WEBCLIENT_MAXHTTPLINE
CONFIG_WEBCLIENT_MAXMIMESIZE
CONFIG_WEBCLIENT_MAXHOSTNAME
CONFIG_WEBCLIENT_MAXFILENAME


Of course, the example also requires other settings including CONFIG_NET and
CONFIG_NET_TCP. The example also uses the uIP resolver which requires
CONFIG_UDP.

Warning: As of this writing, wget is untested on the target platform. At
present it has been tested only in the host-based configuration described in the
following note. The primary difference is that the target version will rely on
the also untested uIP name resolver.

Note: For test purposes, this example can be built as a host-based wget
function. This can be built as follows:

cd examples/wget
make -f Makefile.host


Applications using this example will need to enable the following netutils
libraries in the defconfig file:

CONFIG_NETUTILS_NETLIB=y
CONFIG_NETDB_DNSCLIENT=y
CONFIG_NETUTILS_WEBCLIENT=y


wgetjson GET JSON Using wget


Uses wget to get a JSON encoded file, then decodes the file.


CONFIG_EXAMPLES_WDGETJSON_MAXSIZE – Max. JSON Buffer Size.

CONFIG_EXAMPLES_EXAMPLES_WGETJSON_URL – wget URL
