+ TCP documentation

I see that the documentation has had a major update. I’m having trouble finding things I found before.

Can’t find FreeRTOS_gethostbyname_a, FreeRTOS_rx_size, and many examples seem to have gone missing.

It really was pretty good before, this is more like Amazon AWS documentation now.

Hello Erik,

Yes, the freertos.org website has undergone major overhaul of the underlying architecture and the content including but not limited to content, graphics, fonts, icons and links. It was done to best serve users of FreeRTOS like yourself while maintaining the high security bar :slight_smile:.

It was a major change and we have tried our best not to miss anything. But as with any big change, we understand that there might be some ‘growing pains’ due to changed structure and due to any mistake that we might have unintentionally made. We are continuously improving the website and feedback like this helps us provide better user experience.

We will add those missing pages quickly and revert back on this thread.

As for the missing examples, can you point out which ones you are talking about? We will be glad to add anything which is missing from the current website.

Thank you for your feedback and we apologize for any inconvenience it might have caused.

Sincerely,
Aniruddha

On this page FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP API - FreeRTOS™
FreeRTOS_closesocket() links to ff_close

The menu is somewhat confusing, for example, Libraries->FreeRTOS plus TCP → API reference → FreeRTOS plus TCP API’s link to similar places as the others in the list.

All the API reference menu items don’t show FreeRTOS_ , for example the link for FreeRTOS_socket() - FreeRTOS™ just shows ‘socket’, which seems wrong.

Hello Erik,

Thank you! That is great feedback. We have fixed these and you should see the changes live soon.

In the meanwhile, we have added API documentation for the missing functions you mentioned above. See FreeRTOS_rx_size and FreeRTOS_gethostbyname_a.

Thank you again for the feedback. It is really helpful and we are always grateful to hear from community how to improve the website along with the FreeRTOS codebase.

Thanks,
Aniruddha
