Function socket( ) NIOS II IDE

[Altera_Forum]

Hi all, 

 I am trying to implement a UDP-server on my NIOS II dev kit. In order to create a UDP-server I am trying to implement the function socket( ) to establish a connection. But I don't know which file or folder to include in order for it to work. I'm using the NIOS II 5.0 IDE. Can anyone tell me how to fix it!?  Cheers,  Danny

Are you using the standalone LWIP port for the Altera HAL? If so, the better thing you can do is to modify the example that is distributed together with the LWIP port... (Note that you have to use the raw API, not the socket API... there is a text file inside the demo)

Do you mean the LWIP Webserver?! So you say raw API is faster then the socket API?!  Cheers,  Danny

But when I browse through the directory they are there. I never worked with this IDE before, so can you tell me how to include files or paths with this IDE!?  Cheers,  Danny

- Yes, the RAW API is typically more efficient than the socket API... (however, it is a little bit more complex to be used) 

 - about the missing .h files... the readme cites a set of directories that have to be added to the project. Please follow exactly the readme file...  PJ

Hi PJ, 

 I know which directories to add to the project. That isn&#39;t the problem, but how do I include these. I don&#39;t have an option to add these in my NIOS II IDE.  Cheers,  Danny

Danny, 

 If you have the "eval" version of the Nios II kit installed, the Web server and simple socket server templates/examples will not function. This is because they depend upon uC/OS-II, which is not included in the "eval" version.  There is, however, a dated version of standalone LWIP (based upon LWIP 0.7.1) available from this forum. It ships complete with a software example (web and echo server). If you plan to go this route, please be sure to go through the readme.  Cheers,  - slacker

This wasn&#39;t the problem. The problem was that I could not include any file or dir into my project. But thanks for the suggestion anyway.  Cheers,  Danny

allright it seems to be working now.... 

 no function socket() that is... Have to do it another way, but I know how to be doing it....  Danny
