Issue in Simple Client in Nios2

Altera_Forum · ‎07-10-2012

Hi,

I am having the simple client in nios2 program which is using the winsock2.h header.

Have included the all w32api files to the project. ( Attached is the client program).

When I try to compile it, its showing me an error in winnt.h and winbase.h files. Below are the error:

/client_bsp/winnt.h:2350:2: error:# error "undefined processor type"

In file included from ../client_bsp/windef.h:253,

from ../client_bsp/windows.h:48,

from ../client_bsp/winsock2.h:22,

from hello_world.c:2:

../client_bsp/winnt.h:2352: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before '*' token

../client_bsp/winnt.h:2363: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'PCONTEXT'

I believe, I might be missing some files hence the error.

Could you please assist me in this.

Thanks,

Subbu

You can't use winsock or win32 API on a Nios 2 application, they are only available on Windows. You should use standard BSD sockets instead.

Ok Can I get a client program for the nios2. The demo which altera gave is server.

The BSD socket is widely documented. For example you can find here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bsd_socket) examples for both servers and clients, on both UDP and TCP.
