linking to ethernet code liETHERNET_DEFAULT_TILE not defined

[androider]

I'm trying to get my projects working in XDE SDK v11.11, and I'm having trouble even building the sample applications with ethernet support.

I can't get any of the ethernet code to build in XDE v11.11, not even when I copy the ethernet code distributed from a xTimecomposer v12.

I tried to use the old version of module_xtcp and module_ethernet with 1v3, but I don't get it to compile in XDE v11.11. When I do, I get the following error:


xmake CONFIG=Debug all
/Applications/XMOS_11.11.0/build/xcommon/module_xcommon/build/../build/Makefile.common1:441: *** Required version for module_ethernet is 1v3 but there is no VERSION file for that module. Stop.


In the library module_xtcp, I have defined a VERSION file with the following contents, so I don't understand why the file is not found:

VERSION contents:

VERSION := 1v3


Also, when I try to build the app_ethernet_demo project in the XDE SDK v11.11, it gives me a warning and an error:

The first warning is the key. You are using a target that is not supported by the ethernet board support module (see https://www.xmos.com/node/15949?page=5). Is this your own board? If you are using your own board your need to replace the ETHERNET_DEFAULT_... constructors with explicit port values. If you want to do this then you can:

1) see https://www.xmos.com/node/15949?page=3 for details on the data structures that are being initialized
or
2) look at the defines in module_ethernet_board_support and copy them
or
3) Create an application using the xSOFTip explorer perspective which will let you select the ports and provide a code template for you.

Thanks for the help Dave. I was using an XC-2 board. I did solve this problem, and your suggestion helped me look in the right place for the solution.

I was trying to build an XC-2 project in XDE v11.11, and I was using the code generate by xTimecomposer. So, what I did was I found the ethernet code/examples for the XC2 board and downloaded that, and got my project working.

Here is where I found the XC-2 examples:
