Please advise plans to upgrade CubeMX to LWIP 2.1.3

[HKabi.1]

The latest version of CubeMX 6.6.1 is still at LWIP 2.0.3

Using Eclipse (STM32CubeIDE)? Add v2.1.3 to a different directory, exclude CubeMX's v2.0.3 directory and amend your include paths.

i use STM32CubeIDE.

Is it done by copying, no changes are needed in the source?

I asked the same question on the 2nd Nov.

@Amel NASRI​ has previosuly responded when I've asked about lwIP updates.

But I'm aware that AZRTOS with NETXDUO may make lwIP redundant with ST

[HKabi.1]

I replaced the previous version with the new version in the Middlewares\Third_Party path and the program was compiled without any problems, but the problem of the program not working properly was not resolved.

Hi @HKabi.1​ ,

I submitted an internal ticket asking for the plan to support latest LwIP version.

I'll keep you informed as soon as I get the answer.

Internal ticket number: 138673 (This is an internal tracking number and is not accessible or usable by customers).

hi

thanks

Hi @HKabi.1​ ,

Unfortunately there is no plan to support new LwIP version in our middleware offer at least in short term.

As previously stated by @Community member​, ST's recommendation is to use NetXDuo instead of LwIP.

At this point v2.1.2 is four years old and v2.1.3 is one year old. There are no major changes between these versions, just a few minor fixes and improvements. Therefore the change doesn't require any actual development, just swapping the files. The same situation as with CMSIS-Core(M) include files.

Hmm. Does NetX provide its own low-level ETH driver or uses the HAL library?

FreeRTOS+ once used a fork of pre-"rework" HAL ETH driver, quite heavily changed.
