Using the network with NSH
--------------------------
So what can you do with this networking support? First you see that
NSH has several new network related commands:
ifconfig, ifdown, ifup: Commands to help manage your network
get and put: TFTP file transfers
wget: HTML file transfers
ping: Check for access to peers on the network
Telnet console: You can access the NSH remotely via telnet.
You can also enable other add on features like full FTP or a Web
Server or XML RPC and others. There are also other features that
you can enable like DHCP client (or server) or network name
resolution.
By default, the IP address of the DK-TM4C129X will be 10.0.0.2 and
it will assume that your host is the gateway and has the IP address
10.0.0.1.
nsh> ifconfig
eth0 HWaddr 00:e0:de:ad:be:ef at UP
IPaddr:10.0.0.2 DRaddr:10.0.0.1 Mask:255.255.255.0
You can use ping to test for connectivity to the host (Careful,
Window firewalls usually block ping-related ICMP traffic). On the
target side, you can:
nsh> ping 10.0.0.1
PING 10.0.0.1 56 bytes of data
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=2 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=3 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=4 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=5 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=6 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=7 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=8 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=9 time=0 ms
56 bytes from 10.0.0.1: icmp_seq=10 time=0 ms
10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 10100 ms
NOTE: In this configuration is is normal to have packet loss > 0%
the first time you ping due to the default handling of the ARP
table.
On the host side, you should also be able to ping the DK-TM4C129X:
$ ping 10.0.0.2
You can also log into the NSH from the host PC like this:
$ telnet 10.0.0.2
Trying 10.0.0.2...
Connected to 10.0.0.2.

NOTE: If you enable this networking as described above, you will
experience a delay on booting NSH. That is because the start-up logic
waits for the network connection to be established before starting
NuttX. In a real application, you would probably want to do the
network bringup on a separate thread so that access to the NSH prompt
is not delayed.
This delay will be especially long if the board is not connected to
a network. On the order of minutes! You will probably think that
NuttX has crashed! And then, when it finally does come up after
numerous timeouts and retries, the network will not be available --
even if the network cable is plugged in later.
The long delays can be eliminated by using a separate the network
initialization thread discussed below. Recovering after the network
becomes available requires the network monitor feature, also discussed
below.
Network Initialization Thread
-----------------------------
There is a configuration option enabled by CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_THREAD
that will do the NSH network bring-up asynchronously in parallel on
a separate thread. This eliminates the (visible) networking delay
altogether. This current implementation, however, has some limitations:
- If no network is connected, the network bring-up will fail and
the network initialization thread will simply exit. There are no
retries and no mechanism to know if the network initialization was
successful (it could perform a network Ioctl to see if the link is
up and it now, keep trying, but it does not do that now).
- Furthermore, there is currently no support for detecting loss of
network connection and recovery of the connection (similarly, this
thread could poll periodically for network status, but does not).
Both of these shortcomings could be eliminated by enabling the network
monitor:
Network Monitor
---------------
By default the network initialization thread will bring-up the network
then exit, freeing all of the resources that it required. This is a
good behavior for systems with limited memory.
If the CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_MONITOR option is selected, however, then the
network initialization thread will persist forever; it will monitor the
network status. In the event that the network goes down (for example, if
a cable is removed), then the thread will monitor the link status and
attempt to bring the network back up. In this case the resources
required for network initialization are never released.
Pre-requisites:
- CONFIG_NSH_NETINIT_THREAD as described above.
- The K64F EMAC block does not support PHY interrupts. The KSZ8081
PHY interrupt line is brought to a jumper block and it should be
possible to connect that some some interrupt port pin. You would
need to provide some custom logic in the Freedcom K64F
configuration to set up that PHY interrupt.
- In addtion to the PHY interrupt, the Network Monitor also requires the
following setting:
CONFIG_NETDEV_PHY_IOCTL. Enable PHY IOCTL commands in the Ethernet
device driver. Special IOCTL commands must be provided by the Ethernet
driver to support certain PHY operations that will be needed for link
management. There operations are not complex and are implemented for
the Atmel SAMA5 family.
CONFIG_ARCH_PHY_INTERRUPT. This is not a user selectable option.
Rather, it is set when you select a board that supports PHY
interrupts. For the K64F, like most other architectures, the PHY
interrupt must be provided via some board-specific GPIO. In any
event, the board-specific logic must provide support for the PHY
interrupt. To do this, the board logic must do two things: (1) It
must provide the function arch_phy_irq() as described and prototyped
in the nuttx/include/nuttx/arch.h, and (2) it must select
CONFIG_ARCH_PHY_INTERRUPT in the board configuration file to
advertise that it supports arch_phy_irq().
And a few other things: UDP support is required (CONFIG_NET_UDP) and
signals must not be disabled (CONFIG_DISABLE_SIGNALS).
Given those prerequisites, the network monitor can be selected with these
additional settings.
