How to Connect Ethernet Cable to STM32F7508-DK and Establish Communication?

[MM5]

Hi everyone,

I am working on a project using the STM32F7508-DK board, and I want to establish an Ethernet connection so that I can ping the board from my computer.

I have a few questions regarding the setup:

1. How should I physically connect the Ethernet cable? Should it go directly from the board to my laptop, or should it be connected through a router?
2. What steps are required in STM32CubeIDE to configure the Ethernet interface properly?
3. Are there any example projects or reference materials that could help me set up Ethernet communication on this board?

Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

1- You can use a switch to connect your board. And if you will use DHCP you need a router that it will assign the IP address to your board.

3-  This is an example based on STM32F746-DISCO board, I think it could run directly on your board but unfortunately the project was not generated by CubeMx.
