I found a work-around, but not sure I like it.

It works OK (does not hang) if I configure FreeRTOS in NON-preemptive mode:
#define configUSE_PREEMPTION            0

in my FreeRTOSConfig.h file. The thing is, I would like to use the OS in preemption mode... what's the trick?

Thanks again

NO_SYS is 0, because I'm running it with FreeRTOS. 

I modified those:
#define TCPIP_THREAD_STACKSIZE     512
#define TCPIP_THREAD_PRIO               7
#define TCPIP_MBOX_SIZE                   6

It still hangs. According to my call stack, there is a "_Handle_Bus_Error_Data_Fetch()" following the call in blue below...

But maybe it's not related to lwip... Investigating. If somebody has a clue, let me know please please!

Do you have an RTOS or not?  If you don't have an OS, no it is not needed.  Check out the NO_SYS constant, It must match your system i.e. == 1 if you're running lwIP in stand alone mode.

Thanks Bill,

I found another way a second ago (before reading your answer). I just modified the tcp.h functions back and forth and it worked. Looks like the tcp.h file wasn't being rebuilt, not sure why, cause I was cleaning and building...

Not it builds ok. My second problem is also gone. I sent the code on the AVR32 and tried to ping the address, it didn't work. By debug, I found out that this hangs:
void
tcpip_init(void (* initfunc)(void *), void *arg)
{
  lwip_init();

  tcpip_init_done = initfunc;
  tcpip_init_done_arg = arg;
  mbox = sys_mbox_new(TCPIP_MBOX_SIZE);
#if LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING
  lock_tcpip_core = sys_sem_new(1);
#endif /* LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING */

  sys_thread_new(TCPIP_THREAD_NAME, tcpip_thread, NULL, TCPIP_THREAD_STACKSIZE, TCPIP_THREAD_PRIO);
}

I found in my lwipopts.h file that TCPIP_THREAD_STACKSIZE is defined at 0 and TCPIP_THREAD_PRIO to 1. Not sure why those are the defaults values. I definitly need to change that I think, but I'm not sure what to put there in terms of size and priority. Any advice?

Thanks again

The problem is, only define ONE of these to 1, leave the #define for 0 out

Subject: [lwip-users] Help needed with sequential API

 

Hi,

 

I'm trying to make my application using the sequential API work. I'm on a Atmel AVR 32, using the framework 1.4 and the LWIP version 1.3.1 (with port 1.3.0).

 

I'm not even able to compile my application. I'm having a hard time with the configuration of the IP stack and help would be much appreciated.

So, I'll start with my first problem and post the other one later when my first is fixed.

 

PROBLEM 1:

The only code reference I have is the ControlPanel example provided by the Atmel framework, but it uses the 1.2.0 LWIP version, so many things have changes. Below is my init function and even this is problematic:

 

// Setup lwIP.

// Initialize lwIP and its interface layer.

/*

#if LWIP_STATS

    stats_init();

#endif

    sys_init();

    mem_init();

    memp_init();

    pbuf_init();

    netif_init();

*/

    // Once TCP stack has been initialized, set hw and IP parameters, initialize MACB too.

    tcpip_init(CManagerEthernet::ConfigureInterfaceCallback, (void*)this);

 

First, I found out that I don't have to call the init functions myself, since now in the lwip 1.3.1, all those are called by the tcpip_init() function. Note that "ConfigureInterfaceCallback" is an empty function (code in comments). If the line in blue is commented, my code build without problems. When I uncomment the line in blue above, I get those errors:

 

src\SOFTWARE_FRAMEWORK\SERVICES\LWIP\lwip-1.3.1\src\core\tcp_in.o: In function `tcp_input':

src\SOFTWARE_FRAMEWORK\SERVICES\LWIP\lwip-1.3.1\src\core/tcp_in.c:378: undefined reference to `lwip_tcp_event'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Build error occurred, build is stopped

Time consumed: 4813  ms. 

 

The thing is that my configuration is like this:

#define LWIP_EVENT_API                  0

#define LWIP_CALLBACK_API               1

 

When I check in the IP stack, the code in tcp.h is correctly disabled (the part using LWIP_EVENT_API is correctly disabled while the #else is functionnal). 

I'm I missing something? Is there other parameters related to "lwip_tcp_event" that needs to be checked? Also, my application is in C++, while the lwip is in C. I'm using "extern C" everytime I need to #include header files from the framework, but I mention it cause I really don't know where to look for at the moment.

 

Thanks,

DownyTif

 

PS: my second problem is related I think... when I uncomment another portion of my ethernet code, I get undefined references for "lwip_tcp_event" but also for all the "tcp_xxx" functions, ex. "tcp_recv"
