Post edited by ST moderator mainly for the code sharing.
i want to use simple socket based communication . using socket API.
nucleo-F746ZG connected directly to the linux laptop through ethernet cable (Orange led is ON , on both side). i make controller as client and laptop as server . my server is always listen mode but my controller not able to send any data .
In Freertos option i didnt changes anything . enabled as CMSIS_v2.
LWIP enables . in that DHCP disabled
Ethernet is enabled . didnt changed anything .
