Hello, I have just started trying to use Nut/OS on the Netduino plus with no success at networking.

On the web server example(httpd) I have verified that the code hangs on NutNetIfConfig(DEV_ETHER_NAME, mac, ip_addr, ip_mask).

-Doesn't work on either Nut/OS 4.1(Stable) or 5.0(latest beta).
-I'm using YAGARTO toolchain(GCC 4.6.2) and tools(v. 20100703).
-As IDE, I have CodeLite, although not really relevant.
-I'm deploying* with SAM-BA 2.11(executing the flash boot script)
-This is my simple make batch script, which is used with default makefiles on each app directory:

set makeLocation=C:\ethernut-5.0\nutapp\httpd
set pathExtra=C:\ethernut-5.0\nut\tools\win32;C:\yagarto\toolchain\bin;

cd %makeLocation%
set PATH=%pathExtra%;%PATH%
make clean all install


::%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "%makeLocation%
PAUSE

Please post some hints if you have managed to make Nut/OS work with N+

Hi friend.

For Ethernet to work with Netduino, you should add a define statement to enable the emac driver in the file board.h located
in nut/include folder. So, the modification is like this:

/*
* Ethernet device.
*/
#if defined(CHARON2) || defined(XNUT_100) || defined(XNUT_105) ||\
defined(MMNET01) || defined(MMNET02) || defined(MMNET03) || defined(MMNET04) ||\
defined(ARTHERNET1)
#include <dev/nicrtl.h>
#elif defined(MMNET101) || defined(MMNET102) || defined(MMNET103) || defined(MMNET104)
#include <dev/lanc111.h>
#elif defined(ELEKTOR_IR1)
#include <dev/dm9000e.h>
#elif defined(OLIMEX_LPCE2294)
#include <dev/cs8900a.h>
#elif defined(AT91SAM7X_EK) || defined(AT91SAM9260_EK) || defined(MORPHOQ1) || defined(ENET_SAM7X) || defined(NETDUINO)
#include <dev/at91_emac.h>
#elif defined(EVK1100) || defined(EVK1105)
#include <dev/avr32_macb.h>
#endif

#ifndef DEV_ETHER
#include <dev/null_ether.h>
#endif
#ifndef DEV_ETHER_NAME
#define DEV_ETHER_NAME "eth0"
#endif

you need to define the netduino platform in the NutConfigurator and save it with a different name.
the template you should use is the board AT91SAM7X256-EK and change the processor size to the AT91SAM7X512.

After that, you should build the NUT/OS to take effect those changes.

Best Regards,
Alfonso.

Thank you very much, I hadn't noticed your post before. I'll try this when I get back to work on next week

From my experience: - I do have Nut/OS running on the Netduino Plus - Problems with NutNetIfConfig is most likely unrelated to the Netduino Plus - I have 3 different AT91SAM7x development boards, and they all have problems with the DM9161 network device, particularly when configured to use DHCP. These problems only occur with Nut/OS 4.10 and Nut/OS 5.0 beta. - NutNetIfConfig works perfectly on all the boards when compiled with Nut/OS 4.8.9, so that's what I'm forced to use if I want DHCP. - I have found that you can compile using the default "at91sam7x-ek.conf" configuration, and it should work on the netduino. However, to work correctly with the enhanced features of the x512 version, you should change the following, at least. Architecture->Target_CPU = Atmel_AT91SAM7X512 RTOS_Kernel->Memory_management->Memory_Size = 0x0001FF00 RTOS_Kernel->Multithreading->Idle_Thread_Stack_Size = [Increase As Desired, perhaps x 1.5] RTOS_Kernel->Multithreading->Main_Thread_Stack_Size = [Increase As Desired, perhaps x 1.5] What Doesn't Work: - I have not been successful in getting the microSD card to work. This is due to differences of the schematic. On the Atmel AT91SAM7x-EK board, the SD Card is connected to the SPI1 bus, and the Netduino Plus connects it to the SPI0 bus. For someone more experienced than myself, I think it's possible to reconfigure this in the configurator, but I have had no success. Good Luck. I'd like to know what experience others have had with Nut/OS on the Netduino Plus. - Snowman
