How to ping a STM32F107 using Lwip ?

[Romano1]

Hello I wan't to use the ethernet of my MCU with using Lwip module. For the moment I've connect a etehernet cable between my computer and my ethernet board I've used some example of ethernet example for test the ethernet communication. But I don't arrive to ping my board after settings the differnts parameters (GW address, Mask Address, IP Address).

I've also debug my program for try to understand why I can't ping my card and I've remark that when I run my code and when I enter in my function MX_LWIP_Init() it's the function netif_set_down wich is called and not the function netif_set_up. I've the impression that netif is not well configured.

Here is my Main.c file.

Hello @Romano​,

You can check your application with the LwIP example available in the STM32CubeF1 MCU package: STM32Cube_FW_F1_Vx.x.x\Projects\STM3210C_EVAL\Applications\LwIP\

Please follow the instructions in the paragraph ''B.3.6 LwIP'' in this User manual, and check this post with fixed issues: how-to-make-ethernet-and-lwip-working-on-stm32

Thanks for your answer @Imen DAHMEN​ but I couldn't find my problem on your posts. My problem come from the function HAL_ETH_Init wich return me HAL_TIMEOUT and so the ethernet can't set up.

This loop return me HAL_TIMEOUT :

/* Wait for software reset */
  while (((heth->Instance)->DMABMR & ETH_DMABMR_SR) != (uint32_t)RESET)
  {
    /* Check for the Timeout */
    if ((HAL_GetTick() - tickstart) > ETH_TIMEOUT_SWRESET)
    {
      heth->State = HAL_ETH_STATE_TIMEOUT;
 
      /* Process Unlocked */
      __HAL_UNLOCK(heth);
 
      /* Note: The SWR is not performed if the ETH_RX_CLK or the ETH_TX_CLK are
         not available, please check your external PHY or the IO configuration */
      return HAL_TIMEOUT;
    }
  }

I found the problem, like block comments say : "if The SWR is not performed if the ETH_RX_CLK or the ETH_TX_CLK are not available, please check your external PHY or the IO configuration". I wanted to use MII but my development board (EasyMx PRO V7) doesn't support it, cause of the ethernet controller which is use (LAN8720A). Effectively this ethernet controller support only RMII and not MII so the RX_CLK and TX_CLK does'nt exist in RMII and that's why my the code below doesn't go ahead and return me HAL_TIMEOUT. It was a hardware problem.

Hi @Romano1 I'm having some problems to get Ping from lan8720
Can you share your code?
