Keil 5.28 MDK using Oryx-Embedded

Has anyone had success using the Oryx Embedded suite CycloneTCP, SSL, and Crypto?  It works most of the time, but it definitely is not robust.  From time to time, the SMTP routines hang indefinitely at different points without any timeouts.  There are always glitches with ethernet transactions, but waiting indefinitely for an event is bad code design, obviously.  And, since they charge a licensing fee for private development, it makes it doubly worse.  Bugs are one thing.  Bad code design is another.

  • Hello dodge55,

    This is Clement from Oryx technical support. We would be grateful if you could share some more information about your code / platform

    - Version of the Software Pack (1.9.4 or earlier version)?

    - Hardware platform of reference evaluation board?

    - RTOS-based or bare-metal operation?

    Can you send your test project to support -at- oryx-embedded.com so we can reproduce your exact issue?

    Thank you,

    Clement

  • Dear Sutton,

    If you experience any issue, I think the most efficient way to solve it is to carry cross-tests:

    a.) We have prepared a secure SMTP client demo project that matchs your hardware plateform (LPC21xx with 32kB RAM + ENC28J60 SPI-driven Ethernet controller). Since µVision version 5 format does not support ARM7, here is a standalone uv4 project you can open with your Keil MDK-ARM v5.28. You will find some recommendations hereafter to start the demo.
    https://www.oryx-embedded.com/download_temp/mcb2140_smtp_client_demo_v1_9_4.zip

    b.) Since your company makes use of the GPLv2 license, please publish a link to the public repository to your GPLv2 project. This way, the community and our support team can have a review and test it. This will make support far more efficient. We will revert to you if we found anything in your project that can explain the observed issue.


    Recommendations to the run the reference demo project v1_9_4:

    1.) The demo runs the following hardware:
    - Keil MCB2130 or MCB2140 evaluation board => http://www.keil.com/mcb2140
    - ENC28J60 daughter board (MIKROE-971) => https://www.mikroe.com/eth-click

    2.) The connection between the 2 boards is as follows:

    MIKROE board        MCB2140 board
    GND                     GND
    3V3                       3V3
    SDI             <--      P0.19 (MOSI1) as your board
    SD0            -->      P0.18 (MISO1) as your board
    SCK           <--      P0.17 (SCK1) as your board
    CS              <--      P0.20 instead of your CPLD
    RST           <--      P0.21
    INT             -->      P0.22


    3.) Customize the SMTP configuration in src/smtp_client_test.c (SMTP server, login, password, sender, recipient, email body, etc). You can also configure the communication timeout you want (the default value of APP_SMTP_TIMEOUT is 20s)

    4.) Compile and run the program

    5.) Connect a RS232 terminal to P1/COM1 (57600 bauds)

    6.) Make sure the LED P1.16 is flashing once per second, and that you can see the greeting message in the terminal:

    9.) The src/main.c and src/smtp_client_test.c are 100% user code. You can modify them as needed.
