IOT ETH Ethernet

[中文]

iot_eth provides a complete solution for connecting 4G modules to Ethernet, offering an abstraction layer for the underlying hardware and a default network interface based on LWIP. It also supports user-defined network interfaces.

Features

  • Advanced factory mode, supporting various underlying connection methods

  • Default support for LWIP network interface, also supports user-defined network interfaces

User Guide

  1. First, initialize the driver layer to provide lower-level hardware abstraction

static esp_err_t drv_init(iot_eth_driver_t *driver)
{
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "network interface init success");
    return ESP_OK;
}

static esp_err_t drv_set_mediator(iot_eth_driver_t *driver, iot_eth_mediator_t *mediator)
{
    net_ctx_t *net = __containerof(driver, net_ctx_t, base);
    net->mediator = mediator;
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "network interface set mediator success");
    return ESP_OK;
}

static esp_err_t usbh_rndis_transmit(iot_eth_driver_t *h, uint8_t *buffer, size_t buflen)
{
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "network interface transmit success");
    return ESP_OK;
}

static esp_err_t drv_get_addr(iot_eth_driver_t *driver, uint8_t *mac)
{
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "network interface get mac success");
    return ESP_OK;
}

static esp_err_t drv_deinit(iot_eth_driver_t *driver)
{
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "network interface deinit success");
    free(driver);
    return ESP_OK;
}

static iot_eth_driver_t * new_rndis_eth_driver()
{
    net_ctx_t *net = calloc(1, sizeof(net_ctx_t));
    net->base.name = "test drv";
    net->base.init = drv_init;
    net->base.deinit = drv_deinit;
    net->base.set_mediator = drv_set_mediator;
    net->base.get_addr = drv_get_addr;
    net->base.transmit = usbh_rndis_transmit;
    return &net->base;
}
  1. Initialize the iot_eth layer

iot_eth_config_t eth_cfg = {
    .driver = rndis_handle,
    .stack_input = NULL,
};

iot_eth_handle_t eth_handle = NULL;
ret = iot_eth_install(&eth_cfg, &eth_handle);
if (ret != ESP_OK) {
    ESP_LOGE(TAG, "Failed to install USB RNDIS driver");
    return;
}
  1. Start the iot_eth layer

ret = iot_eth_start(eth_handle);
if (ret != ESP_OK) {
    ESP_LOGE(TAG, "Failed to start eth driver");
    return;
}

Using Other Network Interfaces

  1. Transmission: Call iot_eth_transmit to send data.

  2. Reception: Configure the stack_input callback function in iot_eth_config_t. This callback is called when data is received.

  3. Get the MAC address of the 4G module: Call iot_eth_get_addr to retrieve the MAC address.

Structures

struct iot_eth_config_t

Ethernet configuration structure.

This structure holds the configuration for initializing an Ethernet instance.

Public Members

iot_eth_driver_t *driver

Pointer to the Ethernet driver

static_input_cb_t stack_input

Function pointer for stack input

Type Definitions

typedef void *iot_eth_handle_t

iot_eth event base declaration

Ethernet handle type

This is a handle to an Ethernet instance, used for managing Ethernet operations.

typedef esp_err_t (*static_input_cb_t)(iot_eth_handle_t handle, uint8_t *data, size_t len, void *user_data)

Static input callback function type.

This type defines a function pointer for a static input callback. It takes an Ethernet handle, a pointer to data, the length of the data, and a user data pointer as arguments.
