[En-Nut-Discussion] TCP state machine reset

[Ole Reinhardt]

Hi Alister,

sorry for the late answer. I'm very busy :)

Your code looks ok for the first moment. But there are some questions left:

- What exactly does get_Sony_cmd(&TCPconnected);
  Can you break down the code to a minimum? This seem to be the
  routine, where you read from the socket, right? I just want to get
  sure, that nothing else is the reason for the failing timeout.

- Which behaviour do you expect exactly? When the socket is
  disconnected, the TCP connection is closed (for sure). So in this
  case nothing could be send out from Nut/OS side.

  So your socket would need to stay opened, as long as you want to send
  some data between your two endpoints.

So the next steps would be to review how get_Sony_cmd() is implemented..

Best regards,

Ole
