Can't connect sockets to send data with FreeRTOS-TCP

Hello,

I work with the microcontroller SAM3X8E and I develop the program with Atmel Studio 7.

I am a beginner of FreeRTOS-Plus6TCP. I want to send some data from my Computer to my programming board thanks to ethernet bus TCP/IP.
To do that I have include in the program of my programming board FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP (v202012.01). For the computer I use a python program with python socket library.

I can ping my card but the issue is that when I try to connect the socket of my computer (the client) to the socket of my programming board (the server) I have timeout error…

This is the program of my computer :

import socket

IP_PORT = 5050
BAUD_RATE = int(115200)
arduino_IP_address = "192.168.1.40" //It's the IP adress of my programming board (I can ping my card with this IP)

try
     if client is None:
         client = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
         client.settimeout(5)
         client.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
         client.connect((arduino_IP_address, IP_PORT))
except OSError as err:
         print(err)

This is what I get when I launch this program :

I always got this (even when I launch my computer program to connect to my programming board) :
Socket ready (mean the socket is well create)
Start (just befor the FreeRTOS_accept(…) in my ethernet_task)
lol lol2_1 lol3 lol6 lol7 lol9 lol10 lol12 lol14 lol16 lol17
lol lol2_1 lol3 lol6 lol7 lol9 lol10 lol14 lol15 lol18
End (after the FreeRTOS_accept(…) in my ethernet_task)

Do you have any idea of the problem ?

Please also post the code where you create the socket and call FreeRTOS_Accept().

I post all the code, I create the socket in the function task_ethernet(…) (2nd code part in my post)

You call FreeRTOS_listen() with a back-log of 20. That means that the socket will accept up to 20 clients. In case the device runs out of resources, less clients can connect.

Note that your python script only connects to the server, it never sends a shutdown command. When I try the script, I can see that the socket in the device remains open after the python script is finished.

I am little experienced with python, but I came up with this script:

import socket
from time import sleep

sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect(("192.168.2.17", 23))
sock.sendall("Hello world".encode());
data = sock.recv(1024)
sleep(1)
sock.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR)
sleep(1)
sock.close()

print ("Received")
print (repr(data))

( using python 3.7.3 )

It works well, except that I do not see a gracious closure of the connection. My python session now ends with a RST packet sent by my laptop. But at least my embedded device now closes the Telnet socket ( port 23 ).

Have you looked with Wireshark already? That reveals everything, much better than printf’s.
If you want you can make a PCAP, zip it, and attach it to your post.

Thank you Htibosch for your answer !

I am not at my company tooday so I will try to reduce the back-log use for FreeRTOS_listen() Monday.

Yeah, my real python script is bigger but for the post I reduce it because I can’t connect my socket so I only put the part when I try to connect…

I didn’t try to see ethernet packets with wiresharks I will attach you the file Monday morning too !

But i really don’t understan why I can’t connect my card to my computer however I create socket in the both part… FreeRTOS_accept() return always NULL socket and follow the same way as if trying to connect with my PC doesn’t change anything.

I am 100% sure that is not a port problem because I try to connect without firewall, after add the port (5050) to the incoming / outgoing connections accepted by my firewall but that don’t change anything.

When I look in detail the TCP SYN packet I can see that everything looks well :

There is the good mac adress for the both (src and dst), there is the good Ip adress too and it’s the good port which try to be use (5050)…

When I look at internet why a TCP server don’t send a SYN,ACK after a SYN from a client, I can see that it’s a problem with some configuration. I try to desactivate the windowing mechanism but that don’t change anything…

Can you see something wrong with my TCP config ?

Hi Pierre,

I assume that wireshark runs on the machine that also executes your client code? Is there a routed network in between or just a switch/hub? Are you able to log the network traffic in the segment where your board sits? It would be useful to see what packets (if at all) leave your board. What you describe hints at some kind of routing issue.

This appears to be a similar issue to this here:

Can you go over that thread and see if there is useful info for you there?

As a test, could you try to make a connection using a terminal program, e.g. puTTY ?
Can you make it connect to 192.168.1.40 port 5050, using a raw interface type?

I am also thinking of a recent issue, but that was slightly different: the packets from the FreeRTOS device were stopped at the PC.
Only after the PC had done a ping to the device, it was allowed to reply.

In your case, the ARP requests seem to arrive well, and the device gives a proper answer (a8:61:0a:ae:82:c1).

An ARP request is a kind of broadcast, all EMACs will hear it.

A TCP packet is a unicast, going to a particular MAC address. Are you sure that your device has set the MAC-address in the EMAC?

About your FreeRTOSIPConfig.h : that looks OK to me.

In his case the programming board is the client and the computer is the server. In my case it’s the opposite.

Even when I ping my server (my card) with my client (my PC) the conenxion socket return the timeout error and no SYN,ACK packet.

To ping my card I don’t use the function of FreeRTOS-TCP. I use function from emac.h directly :

if (emac_dev_read(&gs_emac_dev, (uint8_t *) gs_uc_eth_buffer, sizeof(gs_uc_eth_buffer), &ul_frm_size) == EMAC_OK) {
			emac_process_eth_packet((uint8_t *) gs_uc_eth_buffer, ul_frm_size);
		}

The final solution of his problem was to change of PC… I am not sure it’s the same issue.

I don’t understand that statement. Since this is apparently code running on your board, this can not be code to ping something but instead respond to incoming ICMP requests? So you are bypassing the built in layer? Why on earth are you doing that? What is the complete code to know that this is an ICMP request?

If you shortcut the TCP stack, one thing that happens is that you bypass the routing tables. Could it be that the IP address, subnet mask and default gateway configured on your board attempt to route TCP packets to a non existing interface? What is your address configuration?

gs_uc_ip_address obviously is the 192.168.1.40, but where are the definitions for gs_uc_netmask and gs_uc_gateway_address?

Yeah sorry :

There are several problems in your configuration, the first being that your default gateway is not in your subnet, so if ever you’d need to route outgoing packets to the default gateway, they couldn’t go anywhere.

That shouldn’t be a problem in your case because theoretically, your source and destination are in the same subnet, and the mask is ok, so you wouldn’t need the gateway.

What endianness does your machine have? You should really make it a habit to use htonl,ntohl etc for all network related configurations. It may be the case that the storage of your addresses in memory is incompatible with your endianness.

If I can ping my card, read the mac adress with wireshark and scan nmap that means that the storage is well no ?
I don’t know how to know what is the endianness use in my programming card… I am a beginner of ethernet TCP communication…

I just change all my configuration by adding FreeRTOS_htonl(…), and change my gateway too :

...
/** The gateway address being used. */
#define ETHERNET_CONF_GATEWAY_ADDR0                   FreeRTOS_htonl(192)
#define ETHERNET_CONF_GATEWAY_ADDR1                   FreeRTOS_htonl(168)
#define ETHERNET_CONF_GATEWAY_ADDR2                   FreeRTOS_htonl(1)
#define ETHERNET_CONF_GATEWAY_ADDR3                   FreeRTOS_htonl(5)

Not necessarily if you process icmp packets out of band. I’m not too familiar with TCP+, but to me it sounds extremly fishy to do things like that.

When I put all the address with FreeRTOS_htonl(…) or FreeRTOS_htons(…) I can’t even ping the card or see my TCP SYN request with wiresharsk…

I am not sure this is the problem. Maybe the problem is that I don’t manage well the TCP packet with my function emac_process_eth_packet(…) :thinking:

Because when I try to connect the PC to my programming board I receive well the paquet thanks to emac_process_eth_packet(…) (which print me it in a terminal) :
image

but I don’t receive anything from my card to my PC

Ok, that would mean that your unit doesn’t even reply to an ARP requst, so your endianness is probably ok.

Next step would be to trace through the packet control flow, eg set a break point to tcp_input() (or whatever that is called in +TCP), see if the incoming SYN request makes it there, then set a bp on tcp_output() and so on…

No wait, this makes no sense. ADDR[0-3] are 4 bytes, and a byte has no endianes. So all IP-addresses should be declared like this:

#define ETHERNET_CONF_GATEWAY_ADDR0                   192
#define ETHERNET_CONF_GATEWAY_ADDR1                   168
#define ETHERNET_CONF_GATEWAY_ADDR2                   1
#define ETHERNET_CONF_GATEWAY_ADDR3                   5

I do not understand all of this picture that you are showing:

-- IP  168.97.10.174
-- IP  96.24.149.22
======= IP   66 bytes, HEADER ========
 IP Version        = v.4
 Header Length     = 5
 TYpe of service   = 0x0
 Total IP length   = 0x34
 ID                = 0x752B
 Protocol          = 0x1E4
                     TCP

IP Src Address     = 168.97.1.60
IP Dest Address    = 168.97.1.50

What are these IP-addresses: 168.97.10.174 and 96.24.149.22 ?
It says that the protocol is 0x1E4, I don;t know what this number means?
It says that Header Length = 5, but normally an IP-header is 20 bytes long.

I also agree that the endianness looks OK, it should be “little”.
