H743 ethernet clocking issue

Hello,

I started a new project using the H743, ethernet, LAN8742 and NetXDuo (on one of our custom boards).  Its a very simple project that initializes the hardware, initializes AzRtos, ThreadX, and NetXDuo, and starts TCP, UDP, and ICMP.  This project is just a base (Starting point) for much bigger projects.  When connected to the network, i can ping the board, it can either use a static IP or  the DHCP client.

The strange part is that the software works when the clock configuration is set to 400MHz.  If I try to set it to 480MHz, NetXDuo doesn't receive any packets from the network.  At 480MHz, the phy is working properly and it detects (prints a line) stating the status of the ethernet cable (plugged in / unplugged). The phy is sending a 50mhz clock to the H743, so I don't understand why the MCU works at 400 but not 480.   Anyway, I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it doesn't work.  Everything in the Clock Configuration looks ok and CubeIDE does not complain about any of the values entered.  Does anyone have any clue or suggestions as to why it doesn't work at 480MHz?

Thanks

Matthew

1- I don't understand ST dies... if it has a different memory size, how could it have the same die?

2- I found stock on STM32H745I-DISCO, but that board uses LAN8740.  I'm not sure what we are trying to accomplish here... my board uses the H743 with LAN8742.

If I get this board, what is my objective - or what are we supposed to test?

 

1- Yes they are the same die.  The disabled features are physically present on the die but disabled in the factory. 

2- To test your example on one of the ST boards to discard any hardware issue coming from your custom board.

Sorry for proposing H750 disco I thought it was using LAN8742!
