LWIP - udp_new() returns PCB as NULL

[Mz.1]

Hi,

I decided to upgrade my STM32CubeMX to the latest version 6.9.1.

my project was generated first with STM32CubeMX 6.5.0 - so I had to copy the IOC manually.

I checked multiple times that all configuration is the same like it was, and it is.

when I'm calling the LWIP method udp_new() I'm getting NULL and than I can't send any UDP message.

I did a debug and notice this is happening under "do_memp_malloc_pool" function in the memp.c file

this is not happening in the old code generation.

it there special configuration that I'm not aware of?

thanks for the help!

Don't know about Cube, but in some *opt.h file you can set the maximum number of UDP PCBs, have you checked that?

Do you get this error already on the first udp_new() ?

And depending on STM32 you have to take care where in the SRAM the lwip memory pool is placed.
That definitely applies to the H7.

Debug. Go into udp_new().
