## Example workflow
2018-11-20 11:44:31 -05:00
- Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection is established, and IP address is obtained.
2019-06-22 21:54:31 -04:00
- Asio TCP server is started on port number defined through the project configuration.
2018-11-20 11:44:31 -05:00
- Server receives and echoes back messages transmitted from client.

## Running the example
2019-06-22 21:54:31 -04:00
- Open the project configuration menu (`idf.py menuconfig`) to configure Wi-Fi or Ethernet. See "Establishing Wi-Fi or Ethernet Connection" section in [examples/protocols/README.md ](../../README.md ) for more details.
2018-11-20 11:44:31 -05:00
- Set server port number in menuconfig, "Example configuration".
2019-06-22 21:54:31 -04:00
- Run `idf.py -p PORT flash monitor` to build and upload the example to your board and connect to it's serial terminal.
2018-11-20 11:44:31 -05:00
- Wait for the board to connect to WiFi or Ethernet (note the IP address).
- You can now send a TCP message and check it is repeated, for example using netcat `nc IP PORT` .
