FreeRTOS + LwIP on STM32F407VG Discovery

Hi,

I'm new to LwIP and I'm trying to run it on STM32F4 Discovery with FreeRTOS. I'm using STM32CubeMX for generating default code and System Workbench (AC6) as IDE. I use DP83848 PHY in RMII mode. 

All the software works great (e.g pinging the board, or run the web server demo) if no FreeRTOS is used. But when I add FreeRTOS the board does not acquire a valid IP (either via DHCP or with static IP) so it is not possible to ping the board. This even if I do not add any code to the STM32Cube generated code 

Thanks in advance if you can help me

Problem solved.

Simply add this line to lwipopts.h (1000 or whatewer value but > 0):

 #define TCPIP_THREAD_STACKSIZE          1000

If not specified, the default value is 0 (see opt.h) but in that case no lwIp threads is created: this not seems normal for me if I want to use an RTOS.

Comments are welcome

Faced with a similar problem ...

STM32F429 + RTOS + LWIP

Helped.

My thanks :)

Half a day trying to deal with the problem ...

Yes, I agree.

It would be necessary in the cube to fix something for default settings LWIP + RTOS.

You are right, in the next STM32CubeMX release, the default value of TCPIP_THREAD_STACKSIZE will be different than zero to avoid the problem you encountered.
