20.4. lwip_iperf

20.4.1. Overview

This example shows TCP/UDP throughput performance test through iperf (https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php) with a total of four modes as follows:

  • MCU acts as TCP Server / PC acts as TCP Client

  • MCU acts as TCP Client / PC acts as TCP Server

  • MCU acts as UDP Server / PC acts as UDP Client

  • MCU acts as UDP Client / PC acts as UDP Server

20.4.2. Board Settings

  • Connect a USB port on PC to the PWR DEBUG port on the development board with a USB Type-C cable

  • Connect an Ethernet port on PC to a RGMII port or a RMII port on the development board with an Ethernet cable

20.4.3. Project Configurations

  • Ethernet Port Settings: Refer to Ethernet common project settings

  • Ethernet DHCP Configurations

    • the configurations in the CMakeLists.txt as follows:

      • sdk_compile_definitions(-DLWIP_DHCP=0): Disable DHCP feature

      • sdk_compile_definitions(-DLWIP_DHCP=1): Enable DHCP feature

20.4.4. Run Example

  • Compiling and Downloading

  • Running log is shown in the serial terminal as follows:
