One of my goal of the past months was to use an STM32 Nucleo board to get a webpage through HTTPS, using an Ethernet shield for TCP/IP stack. I was close last time, but I discovered that my Nucleo-F103RB did not have enough RAM. Now I have my hands on a Nucleo-F411RE that has 128KiB of RAM […]
It’s been months since I started playing with a STM32 Nucleo + Ethernet shield. One of the objectives that I chase is to build a device for the Internet of Things that implement reasonably secure communications. In an effort to avoid reinventing the wheel (or at least to not reinvent too many wheels) I wanted to see if […]
I am still working on a device consisting of STM32 Nucleo F103RB with a W5100 Ethernet shield. This time I included a DNS client, so that the device can connect to a server by knowing its name. The name resolving can be invoked by using the POSIX functions getaddrinfo and gethostbyname. DNS queries can have different […]
I am still working on a device consisting of STM32 Nucleo F103RB with a W5100 Ethernet shield. This time I included a DHCP client, so that when the device is attached to a network, it will ask for an IP address instead of being statically allocated. The DHCP protocol follows the RFC 2131 and RFC 2132, and […]
I am writing a library that implements POSIX sockets, also called Berkeley sockets, for my ST Nucleo+Ethernet shield setup. The functionality that is currently in place, as for the source code on GitHub, allows for TCP client/server connections and UDP client/server communication using Wiznet W5100 chip resources. The interface is not complete, but what’s in place is taken as literally as I […]
In a previous post I connected a Nucleo board with an Ethernet shield, with the SPI wired between the STM32 and the Wiznet W5100 chip. I am now in the process of writing some C tests for it on a GitHub repository, and in particular a socket library that tries to conform to POSIX specifications. At this […]
I have a clone of the Arduino Ethernet shield R2, and I already hooked it up on an Arduino Uno, as explained in a previous post. But I also have an STM32 Nucleo-F103RB board, which is similar to Arduino with respect to many of its pins, so I wanted to try this shield with it. The main […]
I started playing with an Ethernet shield for Arduino that I bought at a faire. I noticed that the shield itself is not original, but it’s a clone of the Arduino Ethernet Shield version 5.0, also identified as revision 2. The shield provides Ethernet connectivity and has an SD card slot to provide non-volatile memory […]
