Can I use net_config.h in XC167CI

Hello!

I need to know if it is possible to use the net_config.h with my XC167CI microcontroller.

If it is possible, how can I download it?

However, I would like to connect a modem to my XC167CI microcontroller and I don't know exactly how I can do it, so I was thinking to use net_config.h, if it were possible.

If someone could help me or say to me where I can obtain some documentation about it, please do it.

Thanks very much.

Willow.

  • I probably misunderstood you now, but "can't access the ARM functions" does sound a bit funny.

    This thread is about the use of a C166 processor, so it isn't likely that you can run any functions that Keil for have only implemented for the ARM processor family.

    I only know what tools/libraries Keil have available for the ARM processor so someone else has to step in and tell if ARTX166 has something in common with any ARM implementation.

    I don't think Keil have any evaluation versions of any networking code. There are a number of pre-built binaries for some of the reference boards, but if you want to change the applications, you must buy the library.

  • Thanks again Per,

    Sorry about the expression "ARM functions", we mean ARTX166 functions.

    We thought we had dowloaded an evaluation version with networking code, but we were wrong.

    We need very basic funcionallity, so I think we could get with the pre-built binaries. How could we get it? Is there any information (description) about the method it contains?

    Thank you very much,

  • No, the prebuilt binaries are complete demo applications. They do only what they are intended to do, not what you want them to do.

    They are prebuilt applications (not libraries) because Keil wants the customers to see what can be done, but want money (not too uncommon for companies) for supplying you with any libraries.

    The one exception that I know about is that you get the runtime libraries for their RTOS for free. It isn't until you need to reconfigure or adapt the OS that you need to pay for the source-code distribution.

    Note that if your processor does not have any ethernet support, and it isn't the firmware in the processor board that needs TCP/IP support then you do not need any TCP/IP stack or any PPP support. If you want Windows to establish a network connection, it is enough to have a transparent serial channel between the PC and the GPRS modem you have connected to the external processor. Windows has PPP support and should be able to connect without caring about the C166 inbetween.
