Renesas Synergy™ Platform
Getting Started with NetX™ Duo DHCP
Introduction
This application note describes how to install, build, and run a simple DHCP client application along with Web Server
application on a Renesas Synergy development board, using the Renesas e
Package (SSP), and the Express Logic NetX Duo network stack.
Goals and Objectives
The goal of this application note is to help you install, build, and run the example application.
While running using your PC, you can view the DHCP IP address leased by the DHCP server through a Serial Terminal
program such as Putty or Tera Term. Using the IP address leased from the DHCP server, you can also view the Web
server running on the board.
The example application supports both IPv4 and IPv6. Using your PC, you can view the web server application running
on your board in a browser, and watch the application run by observing variables being updated when you refresh the
browser window.
The web server displays an IPv6 address at the bottom of the screen. You can ping the IPv6 address from a command
window on your PC.
Prerequisites
As the user of this application note, you are assumed to have some experience with the Renesas e
SSP, as well as IAR EW and SSC. Before you perform the procedure in this application note, you should follow the
procedure in your board's Quick Start Guide to build and run the 'Blinky' project. By doing so, you will become
2
familiar with e
studio and the SSP, and ensure that the debug connection to your board is functioning properly.
The user of this application note is assumed to have some experience with TCP/IP and basic knowledge of networking.
Required Resources
The example application targets Renesas Synergy S7G2 devices. To build and run the example application, you will
need:
•
A Renesas Synergy DK-S7G2 (v3.0), SK-S7G2, PK-S5D9, or PE-HMI1 board
•
A PC running Microsoft
e
2
studio ISDE v5.3.1 or greater, or IAR EW for Synergy v7.71.1 or greater
Synergy Software Package (SSP) 1.2.0 or Synergy Standalone configurator (SSC) 5.3.1.
You can download the required Renesas software from the Renesas Synergy Gallery
(https://synergygallery.renesas.com).
The PC must also have USB 2.0 and an Internet connection. In addition, a DHCP server must be available on your
network.
Time Required
You can install, build, and run the example application in under 30 minutes. The high-level steps involved are:
1.
Connect to the target board.
2.
Import, configure, and build the project.
3.
Determine the IP address chosen by the DHCP server.
4.
Run the example application.
5.
Verify the IP address leased by the DHCP server can be observed at a serial terminal.
