About

This is a dead simple example of how to use the UDP networking features in XINU 2.0.


Usage

  • Add the both of the files to the shell directory as xsh_udpclient.c and xsh_udpserver.c
  • Modify shell.c and shell.h to include the udpclient and udpserver commands.
  • Modify the Makefile in the shell directory to include xsh_udpclient.c and xsh_udpserver.c and then make XINU from the compile directory
  • Boot two separate XINU consoles
  • Run netup command from the shell on both consoles
  • Run udpserver from the shell on the first console
  • Run udpclient from the shell on the second console with the arguments of the udpserver's ip and the message to be sent in quotes
    • eg: udpclient 192.168.6.102 "Hello XINU World!"

/**
