Network Related Command Console Commands
Using FreeRTOS+UDP from the FreeRTOS+CLI command line interface


Introduction

The pre-configured FreeRTOS+UDP demo projects that can be downloaded from this website include a command console implemented with FreeRTOS+CLI. The interface through which the CLI is access is documented on the platform specific documentation pages.

The file CLI-commands.c (located in FreeRTOS-Plus/Demo_Files/FreeRTOS_Plus_UDP_Demos/CLICommands) contains (among other RTOS related commands) the following Ethernet related commands:

  1. ping

    Ping sends an ICMP echo (ping) request and waits for the reply. It demonstrates the use of the FreeRTOS_SendPingRequest() and FreeRTOS_gethostbyname() API functions.

    Examples of valid command inputs include: ping 192.168.0.100
    ping 192.168.0.100 50     [sends 50 bytes in the ping message]
    ping www.freertos.org
    ping www.freertos.org 100

  2. ip-config

    ip-config uses the FreeRTOS_GetAddressConfiguration() API function to display the IP address, gateway address, DNS server address and netmask obtained from a DHCP server.

  3. ip-debug-stats

    ip-debug-stats formats the statistics gathered by the example IP stack trace macros for display on the command console output
