This library has undergone static code analysis and checks for compliance with the [MISRA coding standard](https://www.misra.org.uk/). Any deviations from the MISRA C:2012 guidelines are documented under [MISRA Deviations](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP/blob/main/MISRA.md). The library is validated for memory safety and data structure invariance through the [CBMC automated reasoning tool](https://www.cprover.org/cbmc/) for the functions that parse data originating from the network. The library is also protocol tested using Maxwell protocol tester for both IPv4 and IPv6.

## Getting started
The easiest way to use the 4.0.0 version of FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP is to refer to to the Getting started Guide (found [here](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP/blob/main/GettingStarted.md))
The easiest way to use the 4.0.0 version of FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP is to refer the Getting started Guide (found [here](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP/blob/main/GettingStarted.md))
Another way is to start with the pre-configured demo application project (found in [this directory](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS/tree/main/FreeRTOS-Plus/Demo/FreeRTOS_Plus_TCP_Minimal_Windows_Simulator)). That way you will have the correct FreeRTOS source files included, and the correct include paths configured. Once a demo application is building and executing you can remove the demo application files, and start to add in your own application source files. See the [FreeRTOS Kernel Quick Start Guide](https://www.freertos.org/FreeRTOS-quick-start-guide.html) for detailed instructions and other useful links.

Additionally, for FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP source code organization refer to the [Documentation](http://www.FreeRTOS.org/FreeRTOS-Plus/FreeRTOS_Plus_TCP/TCP_Networking_Tutorial.html), and [API Reference](https://freertos.org/FreeRTOS-Plus/FreeRTOS_Plus_TCP/FreeRTOS_TCP_API_Functions.html).

**FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP V3.1.0 [source code](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP/tree/V3.1.0)(.c .h) is part of the [FreeRTOS 202210.00 LTS](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-LTS/tree/202210.00-LTS) release.**

### Getting help
If you have any questions or need assistance troubleshooting your FreeRTOS project, we have an active community that can help on the [FreeRTOS Community Support Forum](https://forums.freertos.org). Please also refer to [FAQ](http://www.freertos.org/FAQHelp.html) for frequently asked questions.

Also see the [Submitting a bugs/feature request](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP/blob/main/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#submitting-a-bugsfeature-request) section of CONTRIBUTING.md for more details.

**Note:** All the remaining sections are generic and applies to all the versions from V3.0.0 onwards.

## Upgrading to V3.0.0 and above
In version 3.0.0 or higher, the folder structure of FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP has changed and the files have been broken down into smaller logically separated modules. This change makes the code more modular and conducive to unit-tests. FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP V3.0.0 improves the robustness, security, and modularity of the library. Version 3.0.0 adds comprehensive unit test coverage for all lines and branches of code and has undergone protocol testing, and penetration testing by AWS Security to reduce the exposure to security vulnerabilities. Additionally, the source files have been moved to a `source` directory. This change requires modification of any existing project(s) to include the modified source files and directories. There are examples on how to use the new files and directory structure. For a windows simulator based example, refer to this [demo](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS/tree/TCPRefactorDemo/FreeRTOS-Plus/Demo/FreeRTOS_Plus_TCP_Minimal_Windows_Simulator). For an example based on the Xilinx Zynq-7000, use the code in this [branch](https://github.com/aws/amazon-freertos/tree/TCPRefactorDemo) and follow these [instructions](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/freertos/latest/userguide/getting_started_xilinx.html) to build and run the demo.

### Generating pre V3.0.0 folder structure for backward compatibility:
If you wish to continue using a version earlier than V3.0.0 i.e. continue to use your existing source code organization, a script is provided to generate the folder structure similar to [this](https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP/tree/f118c8415b4373e3d6e6dbd2d5a116f7eaf27b63).
