SIMPLE TCP example for Zynq

grosdode

Hello,
I'm new at the Zynq platform but I already make the software and hardware lab from the training. My next step is to communicate via Ethernet but I can't really sort the Information I found when I google "tcp and Zynq" .
I'm search for a SIMPLE example or tutorial  to send something from the PC an receive it on the Board (microZed) via TCP or UDP.I found a freeRTOS example with six tasks and a lot of stuff I don't need (understand) and a video call "Express Logic's NetX high-performance TCP-IP stack" but both are RTOS. Did I really need a RTOS (I don't want to use a RTOS) ?
Can someone help me?

    Hi there,

    You are not required to have an RTOS nor any OS.  You can do this type of thing with a Bare Metal design.  Although, I would not recommend it due to the amount of effort.  I think it would be easier to use an operating system - be it RTOS or Linux based, mostly because of the overhead associated with using a TCP or UDP stack.  The operating system witll take care of most of that for you.  If you are looking for something like LWIP, there are examples, however, this is not necessarily a "simple TCP or UDP" datagram.

    For a quick example using bare metal and lwIP, the Xilinx SDK has an echo server application that can be generated from the canned project list.   It will run right out of the box and all the source is there for your perusal.
