µTasker general / Re: Using TCP in the uTasker project

Hi Mark,
In the previous reply you mentioned:

>>Note that several listeners (servers) are possible on a single port (each needs a seperate socket) >>but only one client is possible.

Does this mean its not possible to have 2 or more clients connecting to a server?

µTasker general / Boot Loader

« on: July 21, 2007, 01:49:17 PM »

Hi,
  We have a new project coming up, and hopefully be using the utasker (just downloaded the utasker for the first time a few weeks ago, and testing it out).

We will have many units throughout the world, and some will be in remote areas where getting to will take hours, so we are thinking of having the ability to re-programm the firmware remotely.

I have a couple of questions regarding this feature in uTasker.

1. In our system there are 2 options the way the user can use our product, either by GPRS, or ethernet(if there is a connection). If the connection is GPRS (to our M52233), can we still use the boot feature? Or can we modify the code to do so?

2. what would happen in the following scenario: A connection is made, the firmware is being updated and the connection is lost half way through. Would the processor restart, and we can reconnect and restart upload procedure again?

Many Thanks
Neil

Hi Mark,
  In the above call back function 'static int fnTestListener(...)' , would it be best to leave as it is in most applications ? Simply call a task when data comes in, and leave all the rest as it is?

 Also..
 'fnGetTCP_Socket(TOS_MINIMISE_DELAY, (unsigned short)10, fnTestListener); '

Our application will have a permanent TCP connection to our server, and sends a byte of information to the server every 2 minutes, so is it feesable to have a timeout of 130 seconds?

I also assume that for creating a client connection application, it will be the same as your server description, but instead of listning, simply make a connection, then all else is the same?

Many Thanks
Neil
