Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is a standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host to another over a TCP-based network. The TFTP module implements TFTP server and client functions that are used to transfer files over the UDP protocol. You can use the module in two ways:

  • To set up a TFTP server. A remote device can request (get) files from this server and also transfer (put) files to it.
  • As a client function that an app on a device can call to transfer files to/from a remote TFTP server.

Any file system or RAM system can be attached to the TFTP server.

HCC’s TFTP module is part of HCC’s MISRA-compliant TCP/IP stack, as shown in the Networking Overview diagram, and is designed specifically for use with it. This makes it both fast and simple.

Features
  • Conforms to the HCC Advanced Embedded Framework.
  • Complies with HCC’s MISRA-compliant TCP/IP stack.
  • Fully compatible with the HCC IPv4 and IPv6 stacks.
  • Designed for integration with both RTOS and non-RTOS based systems.
  • Conforms to RFC 1350 (TFTP Protocol Revision 2).
  • Option allows you to enable/disable the TFTP client.
  • Can interface to any file system by using user-provided callback functions.
  • Can interface to RAM by using user-provided callback functions.
  • Number of simultaneous server connections is configurable.
