Re: [lwip-users] Stability of master branch code

[Robert Deschambault]

Sorry I am new to enabling stats.  I get linker errors when I set LWIP_STATS to 1, it is complaining about missing symbols.  Is there a guide somewhere on how to set up the lwipopts.h file?

That's bad. Out of my head, I'm not aware of a change that might trigger this. And I'm not aware of instable versions of master which might have had this.

I suspect your target is running out of pbufs (running out of PBUF_POOL -> no frames can be received any more; running out of heap memory -> no PBUF_RAM pbufs can be created for transmission any more). In either cases, the 'err' counter in lwip_stats.mem or .memp.X should increase. Can you check in the debugger if that's the case? You might have to enable the stats first if not already done.
