can not receive multicast packet with Connectme9210

Question

Hi,

My application use UDP multicast, and it work fine with Connectme device.

When I apply same code over Connectme9210 device, it can send multicast packet, but do not receive multicast packet.

What issue cause this, and how to do with this problem?

Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Both ME and ME9210 use the same TCP/iP stack so it should work the same.

Thanks for your answer.

But they use different BSP, maybe there is different setting cause this problem.

very similar ethernet driver, so it shouldn't really matter.

Thank LeonidM

I will try with your sample code.

Thanks again.

did this work? Are you using wired or wireless module?

this code didn't work for me because IP_ADD_MEMBERSHIP option for setsockopt line always return -1
