This page sumarizes the mbedNet library from an end-user point of view as well as from a protocol/driver/api developer point of view.

End-user API

Interface setup

  • interface = NetIF_RegisterInterface(address, netmask, gateway, driver, driver_parameter)
  • NetIF_Up(interface)
  • NetIF_Down(interface)

Available drivers

  • ethernet

Available protocols

  • Ethernet
    • ARP
    • IPv4
      • ICMPv4
      • UDPv4

Each protocol can register a sub-protocol. Suppose you want to register UDPv4 over IPv4, you will simply use the following call:

  • ipv4.RegisterProtocol(&udpv4);

ARP cache

  • ARP_ResolveIPv4Address()
  • ARP_AddStaticEntry()
  • ARP_RemoveEntry()
  • ARP_FlushCache()
  • ARP_DisplayCache()

API

Sockets

  • Sockets_Open()
  • Sockets_Bind()
  • Sockets_Recv()
  • Sockets_RecvFrom()
  • Sockets_Send()
  • Sockets_SendTo()
  • Sockets_Close()
