Detailed Description

Implementation of the NetworkStack for an EMAC-based Ethernet driver.

Definition at line 27 of file EthernetInterface.h.

Member Typedef Documentation

typedef mbed::Callback<void (nsapi_value_or_error_t result, SocketAddress *address)> hostbyname_cb_t
inherited

Hostname translation callback (for use with gethostbyname_async()).

Callback will be called after DNS resolution completes or a failure occurs.

Note
Callback should not take more than 10ms to execute, otherwise it might prevent underlying thread processing. A portable user of the callback should not make calls to network operations due to stack size limitations. The callback should not perform expensive operations such as socket recv/send calls or blocking operations.
Parameters
resultNegative error code on failure or value that represents the number of DNS records
addressOn success, destination for the host SocketAddress.

Definition at line 259 of file NetworkInterface.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Create an EMAC-based Ethernet interface.

The default arguments obtain the default EMAC, which will be target- dependent (and the target may have some JSON option to choose which is the default, if there are multiple). The default stack is configured by JSON option nsapi.default-stack.

Due to inability to return errors from the constructor, no real work is done until the first call to connect().

Parameters
emacReference to EMAC to use.
stackReference to onboard-network stack to use.

Member Function Documentation

virtual nsapi_error_t add_dns_server ( const SocketAddress address,
const char *  interface_name 
)
virtualinherited

Add a domain name server to list of servers to query.

Parameters
addressAddress for the dns host.
Returns
NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure.

Implements DNS.

void add_event_listener ( mbed::Callback< void(nsapi_event_t, intptr_t)>  status_cb)
inherited

Add event listener for interface.

This API allows multiple callback to be registered for a single interface. When first called, internal list of event handlers are created and registered to interface through attach() API.

Application may only use attach() or add_event_listener() interface. Mixing usage of both leads to undefined behavior.

Parameters
status_cbThe callback for status changes.
void attach ( mbed::Callback< void(nsapi_event_t, intptr_t)>  status_cb)
overridevirtualinherited

Register callback for status reporting.

The specified status callback function will be called on status changes on the network. The parameters on the callback are the event type and event-type dependent reason parameter. Only one callback can be registered at a time.

To unregister a callback call with status_cb parameter as a zero.

NOTE: Any callbacks registered with this function will be overwritten if add_event_listener() API is used.

Parameters
status_cbThe callback for status changes.

Reimplemented from NetworkInterface.

virtual CellularInterface* cellularInterface ( )
virtualinherited

Return pointer to a CellularInterface.

Returns
Pointer to requested interface type or NULL if this class doesn't implement the interface.

Reimplemented in CellularInterface.

Definition at line 431 of file NetworkInterface.h.

nsapi_error_t connect ( )
overridevirtualinherited

Connect to a network.

This blocks until connection is established, but asynchronous operation can be enabled by calling NetworkInterface::set_blocking(false).

In asynchronous mode this starts the connection sequence and returns immediately. Status of the connection can then checked from NetworkInterface::get_connection_status() or from status callbacks.

NetworkInterface internally handles reconnections until disconnect() is called.

Returns
NSAPI_ERROR_OK if connection established in blocking mode.
NSAPI_ERROR_OK if asynchronous operation started.
NSAPI_ERROR_BUSY if asynchronous operation cannot be started. Implementation guarantees event generation, which can be used as an trigger to reissue the rejected request.
NSAPI_ERROR_IS_CONNECTED if already connected.
negative error code on failure.

Implements NetworkInterface.

nsapi_error_t disconnect ( )
overridevirtualinherited

Disconnect from the network.

This blocks until interface is disconnected, unless interface is set to asynchronous (non-blocking) mode by calling NetworkInterface::set_blocking(false).

Returns
NSAPI_ERROR_OK on successfully disconnected in blocking mode.
NSAPI_ERROR_OK if asynchronous operation started.
NSAPI_ERROR_BUSY if asynchronous operation cannot be started. Implementation guarantees event generation, which can be used as an trigger to reissue the rejected request.
NSAPI_ERROR_NO_CONNECTION if already disconnected.
negative error code on failure.

Implements NetworkInterface.

EMACInterface* emacInterface ( )
finalvirtualinherited

Return pointer to an EMACInterface.

Returns
Pointer to requested interface type or NULL if this class doesn't implement the interface.

Reimplemented from NetworkInterface.

Definition at line 129 of file EMACInterface.h.

EthInterface* ethInterface ( )
finalvirtualinherited

Return pointer to an EthInterface.

Returns
Pointer to requested interface type or NULL if this class doesn't implement the interface.

Reimplemented from NetworkInterface.

Definition at line 35 of file EthInterface.h.

virtual EthInterface* ethInterface ( )
virtualinherited

Return pointer to an EthInterface.

Returns
Pointer to requested interface type or NULL if this class doesn't implement the interface.

Reimplemented in EthInterface.

Definition at line 399 of file NetworkInterface.h.

nsapi_connection_status_t get_connection_status ( ) const
overridevirtualinherited

Get the connection status.

Returns
The connection status (
See also
nsapi_types.h).

Reimplemented from NetworkInterface.

static EthInterface* get_default_instance ( )
staticinherited

Get the default Ethernet interface.

This is provided as a weak method so applications can override it. Default behavior is to get the target's default interface, if any.

Returns
Pointer to interface, if one exists.
static NetworkInterface* get_default_instance ( )
staticinherited

Return the default network interface.

Returns the default network interface, as determined by JSON option target.network-default-interface-type or other overrides.

The type of the interface returned can be tested by calling ethInterface(), wifiInterface(), meshInterface(), cellularInterface(), emacInterface() and checking for NULL pointers.

The default behavior is to return the default interface for the interface type specified by target.network-default-interface-type. Targets should set this in their targets.json to guide default selection, and applications may override.

The interface returned should be already configured for use such that its connect() method works with no parameters. For connection types needing configuration, settings should normally be obtained from JSON - the settings for the core types are under the "nsapi" JSON config tree.

The list of possible settings for default interface type is open-ended, as is the number of possible providers. Core providers are:

Specific drivers may be activated by other settings of the default-network-interface-type configuration. This will depend on the target and the driver. For example a board may have its default setting as "AUTO" which causes it to autodetect an Ethernet cable. This should be described in the target's documentation.

An application can override all target settings by implementing NetworkInterface::get_default_instance() themselves - the default definition is weak, and calls get_target_default_instance().

virtual nsapi_error_t get_dns_server ( int  index,
SocketAddress address,
const char *  interface_name = NULL 
)
virtualinherited

Get a domain name server from a list of servers to query.

Returns a DNS server address for a index. If returns error no more DNS servers to read.

Parameters
indexIndex of the DNS server, starts from zero
addressDestination for the host address
interface_nameNetwork interface name
Returns
NSAPI_ERROR_OK on success, negative error code on failure
EMAC& get_emac ( ) const
inherited

Provide access to the EMAC.

This should be used with care - normally the network stack would control the EMAC, so manipulating the EMAC while the stack is also using it (ie after connect) will likely cause problems.

Returns
Reference to the EMAC in use
