Posted on May 17, 2011 at 09:59There appears to have been a bug introduced to the uIP main loop in the application note/example um0238 from ST. This bug is not in the original uIP 0.9 source code.
The problem is the line:
if (size > 0) uip_len = size;
This should be:
uip_len = size;
Otherwise, if some non-IP and non-ARP packet is recieved (i.e. another type of ethernet data), then uip_len is set greater than zero, but not cleared until an IP or ARP packet is recieved.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethertype An alternative fix would be to have:
else { uip_len = 0; }
if both 'if (BUF->type==...' checks fail.
