Fellow developers,
A strange phenomenon is keeping me busy for a number of weeks and I need some inspiration to understand and hopefully solve
this problem:
The vector table of a STM32F207 is partially rewritten due to an unknown message is received via the LwIP stack.
The stackpointer, reset vector, NMI handler, memory manager and bus fault addresses are altered afterwhich the system
does not startup anymore (due to the corrupted reset vector).
In order to trap the circumstances when the problem occurs, I added a test in the vApplicationTickHook of FreeRTOS that checks
if the contents of the reset vector at 0x08000004 has changed. The ticker interval is 1 millisecond, and when the vector is corrupted,
the system returns to the Idle hook.
There is no possibility to set a breakpoint on writing to the reset vector since there is only an SWD debug interface,
but maybe there are other methods to locate the cause of this problem.
The problem can be reproduced within minutes, occasionally the problem is detected when the LwIP starts to obtain the DHCP lease,
but mostly it occures after some webinterface interactions like reloading a webpage.
Note that build environment is ST CUBE 1.4.1 that contains LwIP 2.0.3.
Any help or suggestions are more than welcome,
Best regards,
Ischa
