lwIP pool location

[abeslic]

Hi,

Does any one how to make pbuf’s be in a certain memory range?

For example when I call pbuf_alloc(PBUF_RAW, PBUF_POOL_BUFSIZE, PBUF_POOL) it will allocate a pbuf from a pool that is contained in this array memp_memory, is there a better way/proper way to do this no how I did.

memp.c:

....

 /** This is the actual memory used by the pools (all pools in one big block). */

static u8_t memp_memory[MEM_ALIGNMENT - 1

#define LWIP_MEMPOOL(name,num,size,desc) + ( (num) * (MEMP_SIZE + MEMP_ALIGN_SIZE(size) ) )

#include "lwip/memp_std.h"

] __attribute__((section(".my_mem")));

....

I just added __attribute__((section(".my_mem"))), in my linker scrip I have that section tied to an absolute address.

And I'm using lwIP 1.4.0.

Best regards,

Alex

Hello @abeslic ,

if you are using CubeIDE the way to set you memory pool in a dedicated memory region has no apparent flows from my side  .

but if you want to place the Pbufs in a spesific place in RAM for example you can do the following :

To relocate a pool, declare it as extern in cc.h. Example for GCC:

* extern u8_t \_\_attribute\_\_((section(".onchip_mem"))) memp_memory_my_private_pool_base[];

__attribute__((section(".Rx_PoolSection"))) extern u8_t memp_memory_RX_POOL_base[];

With LWIP 2.x and a STM32H733 I'm using this in lwip/arch.h :

in lwip/arch.h:
#ifndef LWIP_DECLARE_MEMORY_ALIGNED
#define LWIP_DECLARE_MEMORY_ALIGNED(variable_name, size) u8_t variable_name[LWIP_MEM_ALIGN_BUFFER(size)] __ATT_SECT_LWIPPOOL
#endif

in main.h:
#define __ATT_SECT_LWIPPOOL     __attribute__((section(".LwipPoolSection")))

in linker file:
SRAXI_D1(xrw)		: ORIGIN = 0x24000000, LENGTH = 320K
...
/* lwIP POOL section */
	.LwipPoolSection (NOLOAD):
	{
		. = ALIGN(4);
		*(.LwipPoolSection)
		*(.LwipPoolSection*)
		. = ALIGN(4);
	} >SRAXI_D1
/*	} >SRAXI_D1_LWIP */
