How can I establish a TCP Connection with an NUCLEO-H743ZI2 ?
I managed to establish a simple TCP Connection with a NUCLEO-F429ZI and my PC using the lwIP stack (without FreeRTOS). The NUCLEO-F429ZI was the client and connected to a server, which was running on my pc using hercules. This worked without any problems. Now I tried to use a NUCLEO-H743ZI2 instead, because I needed more RAM for my application. I implemented basecally the same application but the tcp connection is never established. After calling tcp_connect(...) the callback is never called.
I tried multiple different firmwares and configurations but nothing worked for me.
I followed this guide: https://community.st.com/s/article/FAQ-Ethernet-not-working-on-STM32H7x3
And used the linkerscript and the MPU_Config() function from the example project but it still
doesn't work.
I also tried to use this answer: STM32H7 LAN8742 LwIP only works fine after power-up, not after reset I looked through the github repository and tried to match my code but this didn't work either.
Does anybody have an idea what I might be doing wrong ?
If you need any code just ask and I'll provide it as fast as possible.
Thank you for taking the time to read (and hopefully answer) this :)
Okay so what worked for me was to ensure 3 thinks:
Linkerscript:
It is important that the Data for Ethernet is stored in the right locations. Therefore you can simply use the linkerscript from the example: https://github.com/bkht/Nucleo-H743ZI_LAN8742_LwIP_NO-SYS/blob/master/TrueSTUDIO/Nucleo-H743ZI_Jack_012_tcp_LAN8742_gh/STM32H743ZI_FLASH.ld

MPU Config:
Also you should use the same MPU_Config() as the example project which is defined here:https://github.com/bkht/Nucleo-H743ZI_LAN8742_LwIP_NO-SYS/blob/master/Src/main.c
void MPU_Config(void)
{
MPU_Region_InitTypeDef MPU_InitStruct = {0};
/* Disables the MPU */
HAL_MPU_Disable();
/**Initializes and configures the Region and the memory to be protected
*/
MPU_InitStruct.Enable = MPU_REGION_ENABLE;
MPU_InitStruct.Number = MPU_REGION_NUMBER0;
MPU_InitStruct.BaseAddress = 0x30040000;
MPU_InitStruct.Size = MPU_REGION_SIZE_256B;
MPU_InitStruct.SubRegionDisable = 0x0;
MPU_InitStruct.TypeExtField = MPU_TEX_LEVEL0;
MPU_InitStruct.AccessPermission = MPU_REGION_FULL_ACCESS;
MPU_InitStruct.DisableExec = MPU_INSTRUCTION_ACCESS_ENABLE;
MPU_InitStruct.IsShareable = MPU_ACCESS_NOT_SHAREABLE;
MPU_InitStruct.IsCacheable = MPU_ACCESS_NOT_CACHEABLE;
MPU_InitStruct.IsBufferable = MPU_ACCESS_BUFFERABLE;
HAL_MPU_ConfigRegion(&MPU_InitStruct);
/**Initializes and configures the Region and the memory to be protected
*/
MPU_InitStruct.Enable = MPU_REGION_ENABLE;
MPU_InitStruct.Number = MPU_REGION_NUMBER1;
MPU_InitStruct.BaseAddress = 0x30044000;
MPU_InitStruct.Size = MPU_REGION_SIZE_16KB;
MPU_InitStruct.SubRegionDisable = 0x0;
MPU_InitStruct.TypeExtField = MPU_TEX_LEVEL0;
MPU_InitStruct.AccessPermission = MPU_REGION_NO_ACCESS;
MPU_InitStruct.DisableExec = MPU_INSTRUCTION_ACCESS_ENABLE;
MPU_InitStruct.IsShareable = MPU_ACCESS_NOT_SHAREABLE;
MPU_InitStruct.IsCacheable = MPU_ACCESS_CACHEABLE;
MPU_InitStruct.IsBufferable = MPU_ACCESS_NOT_BUFFERABLE;
HAL_MPU_ConfigRegion(&MPU_InitStruct);
/* Enables the MPU */
HAL_MPU_Enable(MPU_PRIVILEGED_DEFAULT);
}
Call it at the start of main:
int main(void)
{
MPU_Config();
...
}
Add SCB_CleanInvalidateDCache(); in low_level_output(...):
The function static err_t low_level_output(struct netif *netif, struct pbuf *p) is located in ethernetif.c. You have to add the function SCB_CleanInvalidateDCache(); near the end like this:
static err_t low_level_output(struct netif *netif, struct pbuf *p)
{
...
SCB_CleanInvalidateDCache(); //<-- Add this line if it is missing
HAL_ETH_Transmit(&heth, &TxConfig, ETH_DMA_TRANSMIT_TIMEOUT);
return errval;
}
