Socket adaptation layer for mesh socket

This module is a socket adaptation layer for a mesh socket. This module enables the usage of mesh sockets via mbed C++ socket API.

Usage notes

Applications should not use this module directly, the mbed C++ socket API should be used instead.

Before you can use the mesh sockets, you need to create a mesh network using the mbed-mesh-api.

This module is under construction and therefore, there are some limitations:

• DNS resolving is not available, IPv6 address must be used in ascii format.
• UDP maximum datagram size is 1280 bytes.
• TCP socket does not support methods send_to() or recv_from()
• Following Socket API methods are not implemented:
  • socket_accept
  • socket_start_listen
  • socket_stop_listen
  • set_option
  • get_option
  • is_bound
  • get_local_addr
  • get_remote_addr
  • get_local_port
  • get_remote_port

Getting started

The module contains the following example applications in the test folder:

• nanostack_udp contains a UDP datagram example application.
• nanostack_tcp contains a TCP socket example application.
• system_test contains a test application.
