STM32F7 EVAL to DISCOVERY project conversion?

Hi,

I'm trying to see some lwip examples on the STM32F7 Discovery. On that board, only one lwip application/example exists whereas for the EVAL board there are quite a few there covering many aspects of TCP/UDP/HTTP/etc in Cube library. Is there a standard way to convert those EVAL application/examples to equivalents in Discovery board? Thanks for any replies. Christos

The classic way would be to review the pin/hardware differences between the two, and adapt/port the initialization/configuration code accordingly.

It's not however unreasonable to expect ST to provide an equally rich set of examples for the DISCO board, as it's built as a full feature system, and the Ethernet functionality isn't achieved through some third-party board, or user modification.

Hi Clive1

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I did give a try to the way you mentioned, yet it looks a bit difficult and time consuming since there are quite a few differences. In my attempt I got lost in the lwip required changes and I finally gave up. I do not know why ST ommited in  CubeF7 library the lwip Disco examples as in Eval. Technology/Board-wise disco is absolutely capable of all of them without any addditional hw, strange! I'm interested only in lwip examples and the LCD for now. I know that the Disco has RMII so that should be one difference and the LCD I think is different, Disco's is 18bit Eval's 24bit. Anyway, if there is a simple point-by-point overview guide on how to do the conversion I could give it a go. Christos
