Setting static IP Address in Java ME 8.1 for Freescale MBED K64F

luisdiaz-Oracle

Having a few issues setting the IP address statically on the K64F.  I've placed the jwc_properties.ini file in the java directory on the SD card with the additional entries placed at the bottom of the file:

ip_method=static

ip_address=192.168.32.2

ip_netmask=255.255.255.0

ip_gateway=192.168.32.1

However, it always defaults to DHCP, how can I verify if the jwc_properties.ini file is being read?  Also, when trying to start the CLI I receive an exception as such:

C:\Users\lad\Desktop\oracle-jmee-8-1-dp-fs-k64-mbed-bin\util>java -jar proxy.jar -socket 192.168.32.2

Any ideas?

Thanks,

One clarification, I configured the dhcp server on my Mac to serve up the 192.168.32.2 IP address via a reservation for now, but I would ideally like to set the IP address statically.

I'm starting to think I'm having a larger issue at hand.  Writing a simple MIDLet that opens the LEDS port using the DeviceManager, the application continually hangs:

public class K64F_LEDTest extends MIDlet {

    static final int LED_PORT_ID = 8;

    static final String LED_PORT_NAME = "LEDS";

   

    private GPIOPort ledPort = null;

   

    @Override

    public void startApp() {

        System.out.println("In startApp()");

       

        try {  

            System.out.println("Assigning LED Port...");  

            ledPort = (GPIOPort)DeviceManager.open(LED_PORT_ID);

        } catch (Exception ex) {

            Logger.getLogger(JavaMEApplication6.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);               

        }

...

The error on the console is:

[ERROR] [FILE] iso=-1:can't calculate utf16 file name length

Could this be related to the SD card issue?

Yes, sorry, we are seeing some issues with setting static IP addresses. I just posted this:

Update on tooling with Java ME Embedded 8.1 Developer Preview

Hi,

There is no LED port 8, only 1 to 3. PLease check the list of preconfigured devices in the Getting Started Guide (Device I/O Preconfigured List) and let me know if that works.

Best,

Terrence,

   Thank you for responding and confirming the issues I'm having with static addressing.  As far as the example above, I do have the standard LEDs working correctly, however, the example I'm referring to above is from the JavaME samples using the GPIO Port for the LEDS, according to the Device I/O Preconfigured List you referenced:

GPIO Ports

The following GPIO ports are preconfigured.

Devicel ID	Device Name	Mapped	Configuration
8	LEDS	PTB22 PTE26 PTB21	direction = 1 (Output only) initValue = 0 GPIOPins: controllerNumber = 1 pinNumber = 22 mode = 4 (Push-pull mode) controllerNumber = 4 pinNumber = 26 mode = 4 (Push-pull mode) controllerNumber = 1 pinNumber = 21 mode = 4 (Push-pull mode)

So is the assumption that using GPIOPort for accessing the GPIO port for Device ID 8 as listed in the Device I/O Preconfigured list not supported?

Hi,

Sorry, my mistake, I mixed up ports and pins. Yes, the port is defined as DeviceID 8, but you don't actually have to open the port. Just open the GPIO pin you need.

Also, what do you mean by "the application continually hangs"?

PS:

The console output "[ERROR] [FILE] iso=-1:can't calculate utf16 file name length" can be ignored ... it is a known problem and should not affect the operation of your application.

Best,

Hi Luis,

With regards to CLI problem, you seem to have Device Manager from ME SDK running on your host and it conflicts with the proxy you're starting manually by using the same TCP port. You should either:

1. connect ME SDK to the K64 board using it's Device Manager. Then connect to CLI port provided by ME SDK

2. stop ME SDK Device Manager (use icon in windows tray) and start proxy manually (java -jar proxy.jar ...)

but approaches 1 and 2 could not be used simultaneously!

Regards,

Andrey
