I think you may need to go back to some C programming texts and web
sites and look up "pointers". What you have written will send one
byte of the address of the data variable. That address will sit
somewhere on the stack most likely, could be anywhere. You are
initialising this pointer so it points to address 0xFF, but you are
never referencing that location (resolving teh pointer), which is
good as it is likely to be garbage, and accessing it may, depending
on your processor and/or operating system cause a crash. I think you want something like: uint8_t data = ""> tcp_write(pcb, &data,1,1); The only pointer you want is the one in the tcp_write call. The & operator is the address-of operator and so if makes &data a pointer to the data variable - just what you want. Then by declaring the data to be the correct size you have avoided endian issues, and initializing it makes sure it has the correct value. Or if you don't like uint8_t (or it is not defined in your compiler's include files) you could use: char data = ""> instead (I am assuming you don't have one of the rare processors that have a char size other than 8-bits). As I said, a bit of time spent with a C text may be worthwhile. Kernigan and Ritchie's treatment of this is pretty good I think. Good luck, Ian On 6/12/2012 6:31 PM, Firedog I. wrote:
