Introduction

The Network Developer’s Kit (NDK) is a platform for development and demonstration of network enabled applications on TI embedded processors.

Depending on your platform and distribution, you may need to separately obtain an appropriate NDK Support Package (NSP).

Upgrade and Compatibility Information

This release contains several compatibility breaks, which may require users to update and rebuild their source code.

• To address NDK-261, the following TCP macro names were changed. If your code contains references to any previous macro name, it must be updated to prepend NDK_ to the name:

Previous Name	New Name
TCP_NODELAY	NDK_TCP_NODELAY
TCP_MAXSEG	NDK_TCP_MAXSEG
TCP_NOPUSH	NDK_TCP_NOPUSH
TCP_NOOPT	NDK_TCP_NOOPT
TCP_SACKPERMITTED	NDK_TCP_SACKPERMITTED
TCP_MAXRTT	NDK_TCP_MAXRTT

• To address NDK-240, the following DNS macro names were changed. If your code contains references to any previous macro name, it must be updated to prepend NDK_ to the name:

Previous Name	New Name
NOERROR	NDK_NOERROR
FORMERR	NDK_FORMERR
SERVFAIL	NDK_SERVFAIL
NXDOMAIN	NDK_NXDOMAIN
NOTIMP	NDK_NOTIMP
REFUSED	NDK_REFUSED
OVERFLOW	NDK_OVERFLOW
MEMERROR	NDK_MEMERROR
SOCKETERROR	NDK_SOCKETERROR
NODNSREPLY	NDK_NODNSREPLY

• To address NDK-260, all of the error code macros found in ti/ndk/inc/serrno.h have been renamed to have NDK_ prepended to them.
  • For example, EINVAL has been renamed and is now NDK_EINVAL.
  • Similar for all other error macros found in serrno.h
  • If your code contains references to any of these macros, you must update your code to use the new names and rebuild.
  • Refer to ti/ndk/inc/serrno.h for further details.
• To address NDK-242, the following APIs were moved out of the NDK and into the Network Services product:
  • inet_pton
  • inet_ntop
  • If your code contains references to these functions, you may not have to change the actual calls to these functions in your code (since these BSD/POSIX APIs are identically defined by the BSD/POSIX headers in Network Services). However, you may need to update include path and link libraries of your application build, so that Network Services header files and libraries are pulled in. Additionally (if not already being done), it may be necessary to add the appropriate Network Services runtime initialization calls into your application. Please refer to the Network Services documentation and examples for more details.

Versioning

All releases have 4 digits (M.mm.pp.bb). This includes GA and pre-releases. Pre-releases are denoted with a suffix (e.g. 3.00.00.00_eng).

This product’s version follows a version format, M.mm.pp.bb, where M is a single digit Major number, mm is 2 digit minor number, pp is a 2 digit patch number, and bb is an unrestricted set of digits used as an incrementing build counter.

Subsequent releases of patch upgrades will be identified by the patch number. Typically, these patches only include critical bug fixes.
