hello forum, I am trying to send an UDP packet (contains only "TEST" string) from STM32 to VB6 winsock I can see packets going with wireshark software however winsock data_arrival subroutine never gets called ( if I send from laptop winsock to PC winsock or vice versa UDP packet is received OK ) I am suspecting that I cannot calculate UDP checksum correct in google every single example calculates the UDP checksum different way my question , has anybody a correct algorithm for UDP checksum ? ( which he has tested to be true ) thank you
In IPv4, the UDP checksum is optional. If you want to keep things simple, just set it to zero.
For a working source code: There's plenty of public source code to look at. Perhaps the most simple (overall) is Adam Dunkels' uip stack for small µControllers.
I have run uIP demo supplied with the development board already - no problem however uIP code is too complex to understand besides I dont need TCP/IP I only need send an receive a simple UDP packet to PC coming to UDP checksum ; I have tried with checksum field zero no success

hello thank you, here is the wireshark printscreen winsock cannot receive this packet I have an USRobotics adsl router between PC and STM32F4
Take a look at the first 6 bytes. Thats a broadcast adress.
hello thank you I tried with the MAC adress of my PC still no success by the way my original question still open can you give me a working UDP checksum algorithm
Packets which are invalid at the ethernet level won't arrive at Wireshark. Also, in my experience, Wireshark complains when it encounters a bad packet. Since Wireshark does not complain (in the screen shot shown above), it likely is formally correct at the UDP level as well. Since you had a working packet sent via laptop: Is the checksum really the only difference between those frames? Doing a side by side comparison. Concerning the checksum: You told, that you already found several code snippets for it. Likely most or all of them produce a correct result at least on the platform they were written for. So getting a few more slightly different snippets likely won't help a lot. Anyway, there are authoritative sources: The RFCs for UDP (768) and for the IP checksum calculation (1071). RFC 1071 even includes sample code.
And BTW: What sources of information did you use for your code? The UDP checksum isn't simply a checksum of all header and data bytes, but this should be mentioned in every detailed UDP description.
