Directories

The table below provides a complete overview of the folders that contain the files related to the Network Component v7.

Directory Description
./Network/Config Configuration Files that are copied to the project when components are selected.
./Network/Driver Driver implementations for external MAC and PHY devices available as Driver Components.
./Network/Include Include files; once a component is select an Include Path is set for the C/C++ compiler to this directory.
./Network/Interface Interface files to other Middleware Components. Files are included when a related component is selected (read-only).
./Network/Lib/ARM Library files for Network. The linker includes the library for the selected processor from this directory.
./Network/Template simplify creating application specific functionality. Adapt the template functions to the application's needs.

Header Files

The API interface of the Network Component v7 is provided using different header files:

Header File Used by Description
rl_net.h Application Code API for the Network Component v7
rl_net_ds.h rl_net.h Network Component v7 API header file included from rl_net.h
