How easy is it to build smxNS?
The code that Micro Digital supplies is targeted to a particular evaluation board and tool set. It should compile and link without any errors or warnings. This is our standard for release. Features such as smxNS networking support are set up as a project that builds into a library, and this library is pulled into a top level project that builds a sample application. The main smxNS sample application is named NSDEMO.C, and it includes support for an FTP client, FTP server, Telnet server, Web server and others. If features such as network clients or servers are not enabled in the sample application, the supporting code in the smxNS library will not be linked, and the result will be a smaller image file. We also include a simple application that just implements the Telnet server by itself (NSTELS.C). This is intended to be a less cluttered example that is easier to understand. It should also be a good starting point for developers that like to build up from “Hello, World!”.
