Can someone point me at a Cube test project that uses mDNS in LwIP?

[Andrei Chichak]

I'm having problems getting mDNS going on my board (Nucleo 767ZI). Can someone point me at a test/demo program using Cube that has a working example of getting mDNS going? Another service (echo even) would be a bonus.

I figure that I'm missing some LwIP parameter, and this one has me beat. It's not bringing up IGMP on my ethernet interface. DHCP works, but not much else.

Thanks,

Andrei

Hello @Andrei Chichak​ ,

There is no example that uses mDNS under CubeFW but LwIP provides an example mDNS under Middlewares\Third_Party\LwIP\src\apps\mdns

I hope this will help you.

BeST Regards,

Walid.

Thanks for your response Walid.

The file that you pointed me to is the source code for the mDNS service. Unfortunately I was looking for an example of how to use that code.

Eventually I was able to get mDNS going in a test program without FreeRTOS (I'm still working on getting it working with an RTOS), but I needed to make some invasive alterations to the ethernet driver portion of LwIP to enable IGMP, this was after setting quite a few extra parameters in the Cube model for my program (enabling IGMP in Cube is not adequate to enable IGMP).

Thanks again,

Andrei

For lwIP setting NETIF_FLAG_IGMP is enough. For hardware the simplest option is to set ETH_MACFFR_PAM hardware bit. Just take a note that it will pass all multicast traffic. Another option, especially for performance critical applications, is to configure hardware filtering based on MAC addresses. :)
