UDP Traffic Generator Server Side C code

Learning Networking basics using C programs, to start with here is simple UDP server side code,
Why to start with UDP because its simple, no need of connection handshake like TCP.

udp server

#include <sys/types.h>;
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>/* close() */
#include <string.h> /* memset() */

#define LOCAL_SERVER_PORT 1500
#define MAX_MSG 1500

int main() {

int sd, rc, n, cliLen;
struct sockaddr_in cliAddr, servAddr;
char msg[MAX_MSG];
int count;
int prev_count=0;
/* socket creation */
sd=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); //create unix socket
if(sd<0)>
printf("cannot open socket \n");
exit(-1);
}

/* bind local server port */
servAddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
servAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("1.168.3.100"); //using fixed IP for simplicity
servAddr.sin_port = htons(LOCAL_SERVER_PORT);
rc = bind (sd, (struct sockaddr *) &servAddr,sizeof(servAddr));
if(rc<0)>
printf("cannot bind port number %d \n", LOCAL_SERVER_PORT);
exit(-1);
}

printf("waiting for data on port UDP %u\n",
LOCAL_SERVER_PORT);

/* server infinite loop */
while(1) {

/* receive message */
cliLen = sizeof(cliAddr);
n = recvfrom(sd, msg, MAX_MSG, 0,
(struct sockaddr *) &cliAddr, &cliLen);

if(n<0)>
printf("cannot receive data \n");
continue;
}

/* print received message */
printf("from %s:UDP%u: count:%d message: %s\n",

}/* end of server infinite loop */

return 0;
}

Hello!

Good work, but aren't you missing a call to the function listen() before de while(1) loop??

Remote debugging for ARM target board

Remote debugging for ARM target board With GDB one can both trace and modify code and data flow, and otherwise analyze the behavior of code, without explicitly changing any of it. Rather than run a full-blown instance of GDB on the target platform, you can use GDBserver , a program that lets you run GDB on a different machine than the one on which your program is running. The advantage of using GDBserver is that it needs just a fraction of the target resources that GDB consumes, because it implements only the low-level functionality of the debugger -- namely setting breakpoints and accessing the target processor registers and read/write application memory. GDBserver takes control of the application being debugged, and then waits for instructions from a remote instance of GDB running on a development workstation. Remote target needs to have debugging stub (gdbserver), The gdbserver is also referred to as the 'stub' and must be cross-compiled for that targ...
