Not a NuttX question, as such, more a basic embedded device networking question. But you’re all so helpful, and it’s NuttX things I need to do this :-)
I have just tried the recently added CDC/NCM USB networking and it works very nicely. Coupled with DHCPD, I can have a PC (Windows or Linux; not tried MAC yet) get an IP address and immediately I can exchange data (well…ping between them). And I have set a hostname for my NuttX “gadget” and uname reports it properly. My intention is to implement a simple web server on the device so as to be able to plug in to it via usb, go to a browser, and go to “http://gadget” rather than “http://10.0.0.10” (for example). This is DNS…but my embedded networking knowledge is limited and I am not sure what NuttX tools/daemons/examples/whatever I need to use for this? I don’t think a hosts file on the gadget is right, as the PC can’t use that to match hostname to IP (and editing a hosts file on the PC is not an option in this case). So probably the gadget needs to also be a DNS server? But I can’t find much information on how to use the NuttX implementation of this. Have I got that right or am I missing something? Happy to repay “information that leads to a successful prosecution” ;-) by adding to the NuttX “How To” documentation if appropriate Thanks, TimJTi.
