Hi Rastislav,

 

Check the following link if they have some info that may help you.

Hi Greg,

 

Thanks for your thoughts. I am exactly on same configuration as you except I am using Infineon C4.

 

I want to ask about priorities of RTOS tasks

 

ETHRx  - task which extracts frame fills pbuf and sends to tcpip, waits on semaphore from interrupt – RTOS priority is say “middle”

 

TCPIP  - task of lwIP – RTOS priority “higher”

 

My application task working with sockets – RTOS priority “lowest”

 

Of course in real application there are more 12 other tasks with different priorities.

 

Is this arrangement correct?

 

About MAX_SYSCAL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY this is 20 (of 63) and task which sends semaphore is 25 (“lowest interrupt priority” ).  There are some other 10 interrupts distributed, some bellow 20 which need to run always, other above 20 which need to be disabled by OS when needed.

 

But I have build simple application with only lwIP and nothing else and ping is delayed. I was puzzled by this regular behavior.

 

Thanks

 

rum

Oggetto: Re: [lwip-users] R: ping slow down

 

Hi, Rastislav.
I had a similar problem with ping times using PPP in the 2.0.0 Beta1 release and FreeRTOS 8.2.3 on an STM32F2xx part (Cortex-M3). I'm not using Ethernet (I'm using serial), but I eventually tracked it down to interrupt priority and interrupt levels.

For me, my USART IRQ was very, very low by default. Once I increased its priority (to about half way in the middle of all priorities), that really cut back on the latency and reduced ping times.

I also found I had the value of configMAX_SYSCALL_INTERRUPT_PRIORITY in FreeRTOSConfig.h set too high (which means a low priority). Once I increased the priority (by lowering the value) to a range that made sense -- I needed the priority high enough that the interrupt would complete before RTOS functions I called would get handled -- then that was the final piece. I can now ping for hours and the total turnaround time is 5-6ms on my setup, which is right where I want it to be.


I don't know if any of that applies to your situation, but just a couple things to check.
