Enhancements
| NDK-206 |
Update preprocessor big endian detection for all supported compilers |
| NDK-127 |
Move getaddrinfo and freeaddrinfo into NS |
Compatibility Notes
getaddrinfo() and freeaddrinfo() have been migrated to the Network Services Component (ti/net namespace).
- As part of this migration, the values of the associated error code macros have changed (e.g.
EAI_FAMILY, EAI_NONAME, etc.)
- Therefore, any user application code that’s referencing the
EAI_* macros must be rebuilt.
- The signatures of these functions remain unchanged, so there is no break in compatibility regarding the APIs themselves.
- Some NDK global variables and macros have been renamed to have a namespace prefix
- Any code that’s referencing the NDK global statistics variables (e.g.
tcps, udps, etc.) will need to be updated ito add the NDK_ prefix to those macros (e.g. NDK_tcps, NDK_udps) and rebuilt.
- Similarly, any code that references the NDK macro
BIGENDIAN will need to be updated to have the prefix (NDK_BIGENDIAN) and rebuilt.

Compatibility Notes
- NDK + SYS/BIOS applications must define a BIOS Task hook set and register function
- The NDK requires the following function to be registered in the SYS/BIOS *.cfg file:
This can be done using the following configuration code in the *.cfg file:
var Task = xdc.useModule('ti.sysbios.knl.Task');
var ndkHooks = new Task.HookSet();
ndkHooks.registerFxn = '&NDK_hookInit';
Task.addHookSet(ndkHooks);
This Task hook set and registration is handled automatically for application configurations that use the ti.ndk.config.Global module
- A special note to SimpleLink SDK users building non-NDK applications with SYS/BIOS:
- If your application is using the default kernel configuration file, it will already have the previously mentioned configuration code to register the
NDK_hookInit() function. This will result in undefined symbol errors for non-NDK applications.
- There are three ways to work around this problem in a non-NDK SYS/BIOS application:
- Use a different SYS/BIOS kernel configuration (*.cfg) file
- By default, the kernel configuration used in the examples contains the above code. You can create a new kernel configuration file which does not register the
NDK_hookInit() function (hence removing the unwanted dependency) and build your application against it.
- Link the appropriate NDK OSAL library (which contains the
NDK_hookInit() function definition) into your application.
- Although your application doesn’t need the NDK, this will resolve the undefined symbol error.
Provide an empty NDK_hookInit() stub. This could be done using a weak symbol as follows:
/*
* The following function is only used in applications that use the NDK TCP/IP
* stack
*/
#if defined(__IAR_SYSTEMS_ICC__)
__weak void NDK_hookInit(int32_t id) {}
#elif defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__ti__)
void __attribute__((weak)) NDK_hookInit(int32_t id) {}
#else
#pragma WEAK (NDK_hookInit)
void NDK_hookInit(int32_t id) {}
#endif
NDK 3.10
Bugs
| NDK-197 |
accept() must support NULL address and address_len params |
| NDK-192 |
NDK_bind needs to check for NULL arguments passed |
| NDK-183 |
Race condition in SlNetIfNDK_startSec |
Enhancements
| NDK-198 |
SlNetIfNDK should return more specific error codes when possible |
| NDK-196 |
Add NDK_ prefix to all network byte order macros |
| NDK-189 |
SlNetSock-using apps shouldn't require mbedtls footprint if they don't use it |
Compatibility Notes
- To address NDK-196, any code intending to use the NDK-provided “network byte order macros” (e.g.
htonl()) will need to add the NDK_ prefix to those macros (e.g. NDK_htonl()). In most cases, users intend to use the BSD/POSIX-defined macros (rather than those in the NDK), and should 1) continue using the BSD/POSIX-defined macros (e.g. htonl()), and obtain those definitions from the BSD/POSIX headers (e.g. #include <arpa/inet.h>), found along the BSD/POSIX include path (i.e. source/ti/net/bsd).

Compatibility Notes
NDK 3.x has undergone significant changes from NDK 2.x, and as such, anyone upgrading from a previous NDK 2.x release will require user changes. A brief summary of these changes include:
- Restructuring of the OSAL to support FreeRTOS as well as SYS/BIOS
- Alignment on common C99 data types
- Gradual migration of BSD support from stack-specific NDK (ti/ndk namespace) into stack-agnostic Network Services (ti/net namespace).
