hello everyone!
now that I finally managed to adjust the freeRTOS/uIP demo (for LPC2368 under eclipse with GCC) I tried to make a "UDP task" but got some problems.
here’s what I did so far:
1. adjusted folder structure of the project (every source is in the project folder now) --> webserver still works
2. switched from thumb to arm compiling mode --> webserver still works when I disable MAM (MAM is bugged for initial revision and revision A)
3. added my own task, a "dummytask" that only counts up a variable every 10 ticks (with "taskdelayuntil()") --> webserver still works
so far, so good 
now I replaced that basic dummy task with something more advanced. I set the UIP_CONF_UDP in uip_conf.h and include the "myTask.h" file. The Header files look as follows (just to give you a small overview of what I did).
######################## myTask.h: #######################
#ifndef MYTASK_H_
#define MYTASK_H_
#include "myApp.h"
void mytask( void* pvParameters);
void myapp_call(void);
void udp_config(void);
typedef struct udp_state uip_udp_appstate_t;
#ifndef UIP_UDP_APPCALL
#define UIP_UDP_APPCALL myapp_call
#endif
extern packet p;
extern packet* packet_ptr;
#endif /*MYTASK_H_*/
###################### myApp.h: ######################
#ifndef MYAPP_H_
#define MYAPP_H_
struct udp_state {
int emptyvar;
int nothing;
};
typedef struct my_packet {
unsigned long ticks;
unsigned long number;
} packet;
#endif /*MYAPP_H_*/
######################## myTask.c ######################
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "FreeRTOS.h"
#include "Task.h"
#include "myTask.h"
#include "uip.h"
packet p;
int valid_data = 0;
packet *packet_ptr;
struct uip_udp_conn *udp_conn;
void mytask( void* pvParameters)
{
portTickType xLastWakeTime;
const portTickType xFrequency = 10;
portCHAR buf[20];
portLONG i = 0;
p.ticks = 0;
p.number = 0;
xLastWakeTime = xTaskGetTickCount();
for (;
{
vTaskDelayUntil( &xLastWakeTime, xFrequency );
i += 2;
if (i%10 == 0)
{
i = 0;
}
if (valid_data == 0)
{
// get ticks
p.ticks = xTaskGetTickCount();
// increase packt number
p.number++;
// indicate that p contains valid (= new) data now
valid_data = 1;
}
}
}
void myapp_call(void)
{
int lala = 5;
if ( uip_udp_conn->rport == HTONS(53) )
{
if ( uip_poll() )
{
if (valid_data == 1)
{
// set packet_ptr to address of uip_appdata (= the uip_buf[])
packet_ptr = (packet*) uip_appdata;
// clear the required memory
memset(packet_ptr, 0, sizeof(packet));
// write the data into the buffer
packet_ptr->ticks = p.ticks;
packet_ptr->number = p.number;
// send out the data
uip_udp_send(sizeof(packet));
// indicate that the data has been send
valid_data == 0;
}
}
if ( uip_newdata() )
{
}
}
}
void udp_config(void)
{
uip_ipaddr_t addr;
uip_ipaddr(&addr, 192,168,2,20);
udp_conn = uip_udp_new(&addr, HTONS(53));
}
the udp_config i call inside the uIP_Task (as the demo calls httpd() in there too) just befor the endless loop. I also adjusted the uIP_Task loop and added the sequence to call uip_udp_periodic() (an example for thats is provided with the uIP stack code/doc).
now my big problem is:
after these changes the uIP_Task gets STUCK when initialising the EMAC controller!!
the following while loop never gets "false" and thus the uIP_Task just sleeps endless (at least thats how it behaves. the other tasks, like LED and LCD still work and when i want to step _over_ that loop GDB stays on "running" mode)
while( Init_EMAC() != pdPASS )
{
vTaskDelay( uipINIT_WAIT );
}
sorry for the long post but maybe anyone got an idea what I’m doing wrong? maybe I missed to change a config-settings?
thanks in advance
