STM32F746-Disco, how do I enable ethernet and ping the kit?

[moaNTNU]

Hi

We are trying to use the f746 disco kit as a udp server that writes what it receives to an SD card. The kit is currently connected directly to a PC with ethernet and usb. As this is our first stm project, we tried following several tutorials that are avaialbe online, which we felt were outdated. We couldn't even ping the kit or get the IP we added to show on the computer's "ipconfig". Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, the echo server looks promising. How would you go about converting the code to the F746 disco in CubeIDE?

Start generating a project with cubemx. Read this wiki for H7 product: https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus/how-to-create-project-for-stm32h7-with-ethernet-and-lwip-stack/ta-p/49308

Then need to go deeply into the demo code, find what you need and add stuff accordingly.
