µTasker general / fnRead with different message length

« on: November 09, 2011, 11:52:41 PM »

Hi Mark,

I would like to monitor the ARP resolution for UDP sockets. So I've added a "case 'A':" in the task loop to gather the messages from the ARP task. These messages are 2 bytes longer than the timer and interrupts messages that are tested in the loop.
If I modify the length in the fnRead call from HEADER_LENGTH to HEADER_LENGTH+2, the application no longer works, the timer and interrupts events are not seen.
If I set the length to HEADER_LENGTH, the application works well but I can't access the ARP infos that are after the message header.

What happens in the fnRead function when the indicated length is greater than the message length? Howto write the program ith different length messages?

Thank you for your help.

Regards
Francis

Code sample :
-----------------
  unsigned char ucInputMessage[HEADER_LENGTH+2]; // +2 for ARP infos
 
  QUEUE_TRANSFER length;
  // loop
  while(fnRead(PortIdInternal, ucInputMessage, HEADER_LENGTH + 2))
  {
    switch(ucInputMessage[MSG_SOURCE_TASK])
    {
      case TIMER_EVENT: // timer event either periodic or command timer
        if(ucInputMessage[MSG_TIMER_EVENT] == E_TIMER_PERIODIC) // execute state machine
        {
....
     case 'A': // infos from ARP task
        length of ucInputMessage is HEADER_LENGTH + 2
...

NXP^TM M522XX, KINETIS and i.MX RT / M5225x starting problem at power on

« on: May 09, 2011, 08:46:54 PM »

Hi All,

I've made a board with a M52258 with an external 48 MHz oscillator. The design works perfect but doesn't start when powering up. After a hardware reset or ressetting with the BDM, it starts normally.

Does anybody have any idea about what can be the reason of that issue? Can it be the external oscillator which didn't start fast enough vs. the processor?

Thank you for any possible help.

Best Regards

NXP^TM M522XX, KINETIS and i.MX RT / FTP web pages download bugs with CodeWarrior 7.1

« on: February 25, 2011, 10:46:33 AM »

Hi Mark,

after recompilation with CodeWarrior 7.1 (7.1.2 Patch, Build 11) of a well working µTasker V1.3 project, the new version works well but I was unable to download web pages with ftp. I checked with Wireshark the differences between the two versions. With the new version, the file is tansmitted, the ftp server acknowledges each segment but at the end of the file, it doesn't  send the final FIN, ACK and the transfer hangs.
I tried with several ftp clients and the behaviour remains always the same.

The comparison of the memory maps of the two versions, with same optimizations parameters, shows that the generated code is a little smaller : 512 bytes / approx. 64K.

Do you already have information about this issue?

Best regards
Francis

NXP^TM M522XX, KINETIS and i.MX RT / Only ARP works on Demo and Target boards

« on: April 05, 2009, 06:57:42 PM »

Hi Mark,
with the simulator, ping, udp echo ... works well. After downloading the application on either a M52233DEMO or my target board (compiled with CodeWarrior 7.0) only ARP works perfectly.
I first clean the ARP cache on the PC, then I send a ping : with Wireshark, I see the ARP request and response from the board then the ping request and no answer from the board. The ipstat in the debug console reports the ARP frame but 0 ICMP frame. I tested also with UDP and I get the same result. It looks like only frames with Ethertype 0x0806 go through the filter?
I've tryed to find the location in the code where this test is done. Can you please give me some indications where to look at?

Regards
Francis

PS. Autonegociation or fixed speed give the same thing.

NXP^TM M522XX, KINETIS and i.MX RT / Using PORTAN as digital inputs

« on: April 04, 2009, 06:35:37 PM »

Hello Mark,
I've started an new application and I simply want to use AN0 to AN3 as digital inputs.
I programmed the following in the init part of the new included task.
      DDRAN &= ~(PORT_AN_BIT0 | PORT_AN_BIT1 | PORT_AN_BIT2 | PORT_AN_BIT3);                                             
When I launch the simulator, the PORT AN still shows all I/O as outputs.
Where must the init code be inserted in so the simulator really sees the inputs and allows changing the input state.

Thank for help, best regards

µTasker general / No more answer on Ethernet after HTTP use

« on: March 06, 2009, 11:44:39 PM »

Hi,
in the Simulator all works fine at the beginning after installation of SP8 for M5223X. ARP, Ping, ... There was no webpages already downloaded so the HHTP server return the 404 page. Then, no problem for downloading the pages with FTP. Ping works always ok after it.
But when I use the browser to get the pages (with http://<ip_address>) the browser times out, no page is returned. From this point, nothing works : no ping response, no FTP connection, ... The application must be exited and launched again for ping to work.
If I try to get the pages, again no response. I've tryed to set breakpoints and step through the code but nothing seems to go wrong the functions sending the response are called but nothing comes out. I've checked it with Ethereal.

What do I make wrong? Thanks anybody for help.
Regards.
Francis
