How to define LwIP DHCP hostname in CubeMX?

[ZdenekK]

Hello,

I am wondering how to set the DHCP hostname for LwIP when using STMCubeMX. The CubeMX tool creates a definition for the hostname in ethernetif.c:

 #if LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME

 /* Initialize interface hostname */

 netif->hostname = "lwip";

#endif /* LWIP_NETIF_HOSTNAME */

However, this is "hard wired" in CubeMX. If I change it manually in ethernetif.c, CubeMX rewrites it to the default value "lwip" after each change in the IOC definition. There is no option in CubeMX for the DHCP hostname.

I am using the latest FW, latest Cube tools (CubeIDE version 1.11.0, CubeMX version 6.7.0).

BTW, I found the same question in the forum, four years old

( but with no satisfactory answer.

Thanks in advance for help

Best Regards

Hi,

Thank you for raising this point.

A fix will be done to make "netif->hostname" configurable via CubeMX.

Issue already fixed since STM32CubeMX 6.9.0.

Has this fix ever been done ? I cannot see an option on CUBEIDE in the LWIP section to set the Hostname
