I have followed the article (https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus/how-to-create-a-project-for-stm32h7-with-ethernet-and-lwip-stack/ta-p/49308#memory-layout ) to get it working for ethernet but I am facing hardfault. In H7S3L8 I am using AXI-SRAM at address 0x24020000 for ethernet buffers and lwip and configuring this sram as non cacheable, non bufferable and shareable at level 1
I am getting hardfault. I is related to memory but I am not able to resolve it. Any help me to find where is the problem?

Hello @imranhassan84, and welcome to ST community!
I suggest you take a look at the following LwIP projects for the H7S3L8. You can draw inspiration from them and adapt them to suit your application needs. Additionally, each project includes the appropriate IOC configuration file, which you can review and modify.
Best regards,
