LWIP + FreeRTOS Ping Issues

[merakian]

Hi all,

I've been working through this tutorial: How-To-Create  to bring up LWIP + FreeRTOS on the STM32H735IGK development kit. I'm using STM32CubeIDE 1.18.0, FreeRTOS with CMSIS-v1, and STM32Cube FW_H7 version 1.12.1

I noticed that pinging is very sporadic, and the STM32 eventually stops replying to ARP requests. I've attached a couple of pictures(wireshark captures) that describe the problem.

For reference, here are relevant screenshots my MPU settings, linker script, ethernetif.c, and lwiopts.h files.

However, if I disable D-Cache, then pinging becomes stable (I'm able to ping for > 30 minutes continuously). I don't want to disable D-Cache, as my MPU should be disabling caching for the relevant memory regions.

I understand that MPU regions have priority, and I'm overlaying region 2 onto region 1, but both regions disable caching. What's going on here?

Please let me know if there additional information that you may need.

Thank you!

Looks like some RX or TX memory that should be made non-cached still is not covered by MPU settings. Have somebody to review your code.

Hi

Did you manage to solve this?

I am using an H723 Nucleo board and having the same problem.

If I start with a non RTOS project it pings forever.

Add FreeRTOS and it stops after a few minutes.

D-Cache disable does not have any effect.

ioc and linker files attached.

Thanks

Andy.

I was using an example from - 

https://github.com/stm32-hotspot/STM32H7-LwIP-Examples

And it was using the 723 one.

It was using CMSIS_V2 API In FreeRTOS

This link says H7 can only use V1 -

And he is correct, it works great after changing it.
