2024/6/5 update : Oryx Embedded has released version 2.4.2, which includes new demos for Modbus, SNTP, and various others. You can download this latest version directly from the Oryx Embedded website at https://www.oryx-embedded.com/download . There is no need to download the following demo source code; please choose the official one.
CyCloneTCP, developed by Oryx Embedded, is an IPv4/IPv6 TCP/IP stack specifically designed for resource-constrained microcontrollers. The post provides detailed instructions on creating a demonstration using CyCloneTCP and FreeRTOS on NuMaker IoT boards. Although Oryx Embedded has not yet released a SNTP client demo for NuMaker IoT boards, we have undertaken the task of porting the demo to the NuMaker-IoT-M467 board.
To proceed, kindly refer to the post for downloading and extracting the CyCloneTCP Open Source Version. Subsequently, download and extract the attached zip file to the YOUR-CYCLONE_TCP-DIRECTORY\demo\nuvoton directory.
numaker_iot_m467_sntp_client_demo.zip
The SNTP client demo is located in the YOUR-CYCLONE_TCP-DIRECTORY\demo\nuvoton\numaker_iot_m467 directory:
- _sntp_client_demo
- Includes #define GPL_LICENSE_TERMS_ACCEPTED in os_port_config.h, indicating acceptance of the GPL license for using the demo code.
- Enable DHCP to get a IP address
- SNTP server is time.google.com. Your can change it to another SNTP server.
To evaluate the demo, program the demo binary firmware onto a NuMaker-IoT-M467 board and connect it to a router with an Ethernet cable and also run a terminal tool to open Nu-Link Virtual COM as console. Press BTN0 on the board, you can see the corresponding message on the console.
Enjoy it.
