Prerequisites
Before running your first application, you must ensure that you have the minimal set of required tools and components:
- Toolchain for your specific microcontroller.
- Development board.
- µC/TCP-IP stack must be installed properly (a running project). See Installing the µC/TCP-IP Stack for further detail about how to install µC/TCP-IP.
- Source code for µC/FTPs.
Additional Modules
µC/FTPsdepends on other modules to run. First, it needs the presence of a RTOS. Furthermore, µC/CPU, µC/LIB and µC/TCP-IP modules are required.
If you are using one of the two Micriµm OS, complete documentation can be found for µC/OS-II and µC/OS-III. Refer to those guides for more information on the requirements, installation, configuration and running of those RTOS.
The µC/CPU module regroups the processor's hardware-dependent code. µC/CPU includes many ports for all the different CPU architectures Micriµm supports. You must therefore used the port corresponding to your specific CPU. The complete µC/CPU documentation can be found here.
The µC/LIB module is the Micriµm run-time library, implementing the most common standard library functions, macros, and constants. The complete µC/LIB documentation can be found here.
The µC/TCP-IP stack is a compact, reliable, high-performance TCP/IP protocol stack which provide the socket to the FTP application layer. The complete µC/TCP-IP documentation can be found here.
Downloading the source code
µC/FTPs can be downloaded from the Micrium customer portal as all the other required modules. The distribution package includes the full source code and documentation.
Depending if you bought a package or individual components, either you would find uC/FTPs source code with the µC/TCP-IP package or you would have to download the µC/FTPs component from the customer portal.
You can log into the Micrium customer portal at the address below to begin your download (you must have a valid license to gain access to the file):
Installing the Files
Once all the distribution packages have been downloaded to your host machine, extract all the files at the root of your C:\ drive for instance. The package may be extracted to any location. After extracting all the files, the directory structure should look as illustrated in Figure - Directory Tree for µC/FTPs. In the example, all Micriµm products sub-folders shown in Figure - Directory Tree for µC/FTPs will be located in C:\Micrium\Software\. The Micriµm µC/OS-III RTOS has been chosen for this example.
