Part 2: Creating a TCP/IP Application
and Connecting to a DHCP Server
VisualDSP++ includes a TCP/IP project type to handle the creation of a
framework for your TCP/IP-aware application. The generated project is a
working application that:
1. Initializes all hardware and software needed to service the stack
2. Reads the unique MAC address from your EZ-KIT Lite's firmware.
The MAC address uniquely identifies your hardware from every
other Ethernet-aware device in the world.
3. Connects to your network's DHCP server and receives an IP
address. The IP address is used to connect to the target board.
4. Continues running the application
To start, physically connect the ADSP-BF537 EZ-KIT Lite hardware to
the 10/100 Mbits/sec network (the same network your PC connects to)
and then create the TCP/IP support software application using the sup-
plied non-cross-over cable.
Close any open projects. To create a skeleton TCP/IP project:
1. Select File–>New–>Project to start the Project Wizard.
On the Project: Select Type page, select CP/IP Stack application
using LwIP and VDK as the project type and choose the name and
directory for the project
2. On the Project: Select Processor page, set ADSP-BF537 Blackfin
Processor as the processor type. Click Next.
