 FreeRTOS+POSIX:
 POSIX API for FreeRTOS
 FreeRTOS+FAT:
 Thread aware file system

FreeRTOS+UDP was removed from the FreeRTOS kernel download from FreeRTOS V10.1.0. See the FreeRTOS+TCP stack, which can be configured for UDP only use, as an alternative.

FreeRTOS_socket()

[FreeRTOS Embedded IP Stack API]

FreeRTOS_sockets.h 
xSocket_t FreeRTOS_socket( BaseType_t xDomain, BaseType_t xType, BaseType_t xProtocol );

Create a UDP socket.

The function parameters are not used other than to check they contain the expected values (and only then when configASSERT() is defined in FreeRTOSConfig.h). The parameters are included in the function prototype to ensure consistency with the expected standard Berkeley sockets prototype, and for future compatibility as FreeRTOS+UDP evolves.

Parameters:

xDomain   Must be set to FREERTOS_AF_INET.

xType   Must be set to FREERTOS_SOCK_DGRAM.

xProtocol   Must be set to FREERTOS_IPPROTO_UDP.

Returns:

If a socket is created successfully, then the socket handle is returned. If there is insufficient FreeRTOS heap memory available for the socket to be created then FREERTOS_INVALID_SOCKET is returned.

Example usage: 


/* FreeRTOS+UDP sockets include */
#define "FreeRTOS_sockets.h"

void aFunction( void )
{
/* Variable to hold the created socket. */
xSocket_t xSocket;
struct freertos_sockaddr xBindAddress;

    /* Create the socket. */
    xSocket = FreeRTOS_socket( FREERTOS_AF_INET, FREERTOS_SOCK_DGRAM, FREERTOS_IPPROTO_UDP );

    /* Check the socket was created successfully. */
    if( xSocket != FREERTOS_INVALID_SOCKET )
    {
        /* The socket was created successfully and can now be used to send data
        using the FreeRTOS_sendto() API function.  Sending to a socket that has
        not first been bound will result in the socket being automatically bound
        to a port number.  Use FreeRTOS_bind() to bind the socket to a
        specific port number.  This example binds the socket to port 9999.  The
        port number is specified in network byte order, so FreeRTOS_htons() is
        used. */
        xBindAddress.sin_port = FreeRTOS_htons( 9999 );
        if( FreeRTOS_bind( xSocket, &xBindAddress, sizeof( &xBindAddress ) ) == 0 )
        {
            /* The bind was successful. */
        }
    }
    else
    {
        /* There was insufficient FreeRTOS heap memory available for the socket
        to be created. */
    }
}
