I am intending to write some software modules that will all run on a single machine, and I would like for them to communicate with each other via TCP.

It is likely that the machine I am using will not have a physical network adapter. Will TCP connections to localhost be able to work correctly if there is no physical network adapter?

The operating system that I am running on is Linux for Tegra.

Thanks.

Of course. Keyword is "localhost loopback adapter". – CodeCaster Jan 06 '16 at 11:54
You do not need a physical network adapter, but you do need a TCP software stack installed. I am not familiar with Linux for Tegra, so I do not know if it includes it. – SergeyA Jan 06 '16 at 14:18
I know it's not `tcp`, but you can try to ping yourself: `ping -c 4 127.0.0.1` – Mathieu Jan 06 '16 at 16:08
