Re: [lwip-users] how to set the link up

[Noam Weissman]

Hi,

Yes I have two tasks... One polling the link and another handling the application side DHCP.

You can use one task but in my case as the code is shared between devices I have split it to

two separate tasks. In that case every device may be different. Sometimes the link task is a bit

different (local) because the network part is different... Sometimes it has just a PHY, sometimes

it has a switch etc...

My DHCP task calls dhcp_start and wait for an IP. If there is a timeout the task will assign a static

default IP. You can do something similar.

BR,

Noam.

So you have a task to manage link status an another to manage DHCP?

I have to make possible to change ip address or switch between static and dynamic ip without reboot.
I noticed that when the board has a DHCP assigned IP and the link goes down, the board do not change ip or switch in auto ip.

So I'm going to setup a task to poll PHY link status (and speed, to switch on/off speed led), and another task to manage ip assignment. These task should be under application layer.
I do not know if it's a good idea.

best regards
Max

Hi Sylvian,

THANKS for pointing this out !!!. 

I am using the code I sent for several years and was not aware of that :-(

The base code was taken from ST example !!

I could not find netifapi_netif_set_link_up ... did you mean netifapi_netif_set_up ?
