This section describes all the steps required to build a SNTPc-based application. The instructions provided in this section are not intended for any particular toolchain, but instead are described in a generic way that can be adapted to any toolchain.
The best way to start building a SNTPc-based project is to start from an existing µC/TCP-IP project.
Working project with µC/TCP-IP
The first step before including the µC/SNTPc is to have a working project with the µC/TCP-IP. As previously mentioned, Micriµm may offer starting example with µC/OS-III kernels and µC/TCP-IP and even with µC/SNTPc for many evaluation boards.
If no project that include µC/TCP-IP is available, you should follow the µC/TCP-IP - Getting Started Guide to start with a working TCP/IP project before starting integrating µC/SNTPc. Then you can follow the following steps to build and run your first µC/SNTPc sample application.
Including Additional Modules to the Project
Once you have a working project with your RTOS and µC/TCP-IP additional modules are needed by the Micriµm SNTP client that are not necessarily already included in your project. Therefore, be sure to add µC/CPU and µC/LIB to your project.
Refer to the following manuals for further information about Micrium modules:
Optional module
µC/SNTPc comes with a set of command that can be executed from a shell command line tool. If you want to use it, you have to include µC/Shell to your project:
It is recommend to use µC/Clk for the time management features included. If you want to use it, you have to include µC/CLK to your project
Also, it is possible to the µC/SNTPc to resolve servers address with a DNS client such as µC/DNSc. If you want to use it, you have to include µC/DNSc to your project
Including µC/SNTPc Source Code
Include the following files in your project tree from the µC/SNTPc source code distribution, as indicated in Figure - µC/SNTPc Source Code.
As indicated in the Figure - µC/SNTPc Source Code, all the files in the Source folder must be added to your project tree. File under the folder Cmd can be added if µC/Shell is already included in your project.
Compiler settings
Finally, add the following include paths to your project’s C compiler settings:
\Micrium\Software\uC-SNTPc
\Micrium\Software\uC-TCPIP
\Micrium\Software\uC-CLK (optional if uC/CLK is used)
\Micrium\Software\uC-Shell (optional if uC/Shell is used)
\Micrium\Software\uC-DNSc (optional if uC/DNSc is used)
Copying and Modifying Template Files
Copy the files from the uC/SNTPc configuration folder into your application as illustrated in Figure - Copying Template Files.
SNTP-c_cfg.h define µC/SNTPc module static parameters. Refer to section Module Configuration for more details on all the configurations inside templates files.
