As previously stated, the Directories and Files structure used herein assumes you have access to the µC/TCP-IP source code. The samples and examples in the hard-specific sections, however, use µC/TCP-IP as a library. The project structure is therefore different.
µC/TCP-IP requires an RTOS and, for the purposes of this book, µC/OS-III has been chosen. First, because it is the latest kernel from Micrium, and second, because all the examples in this book were developed with the evaluation board that is available with the µC/OS-III book. This way there is no need for an additional evaluation board.
This chapter gives you some insight into how to install and use the µC/TCP-IP stack. The following topics are explained in this chapter:
- Prerequisites
- Downloading the source code filesSource Code
- Installing the filesFiles
- Building the sample applicationand Running the sample applicationSample Application
At the end of this chapter, you should be able to build and run your first TCP-/IP application using the µC/TCP-IP stack.
