PTP STM32F4 hardware timestamps not enabled

Welcome to the forum.

Remember that we know nothing about you, or what you are using, or what you have done.

So you need to give more details - see:

Hello, My goal is to use flexptp on STM32F429ZIT6 mcu following this implementation https://github.com/epagris/flexPTP#platforms-and-examples, 

Looking into cube mx configuration i noticed that there is a RMII_PTP_SYNCHRO mode for ETH IP which I did.

Now after some digging in the generated code i found that low_level_init function is lacking the HAL_ETH_INIT function as i will show now: 

static void low_level_init(struct netif *netif)
{
 HAL_StatusTypeDef hal_eth_init_status = HAL_OK;
 /* Start ETH HAL Init */
 
 /* End ETH HAL Init */

 /* Initialize the RX POOL */
 LWIP_MEMPOOL_INIT(RX_POOL);

#if LWIP_ARP || LWIP_ETHERNET

 /* set MAC hardware address length */
 netif->hwaddr_len = ETH_HWADDR_LEN;

 /* set MAC hardware address */
 netif->hwaddr[0] = heth.Init.MACAddr[0];
 netif->hwaddr[1] = heth.Init.MACAddr[1];
 netif->hwaddr[2] = heth.Init.MACAddr[2];
 netif->hwaddr[3] = heth.Init.MACAddr[3];
 netif->hwaddr[4] = heth.Init.MACAddr[4];
 netif->hwaddr[5] = heth.Init.MACAddr[5];

 /* maximum transfer unit */
 netif->mtu = ETH_MAX_PAYLOAD;

 /* Accept broadcast address and ARP traffic */
 /* don't set NETIF_FLAG_ETHARP if this device is not an ethernet one */
 #if LWIP_ARP
 netif->flags |= NETIF_FLAG_BROADCAST | NETIF_FLAG_ETHARP;
 #else
 netif->flags |= NETIF_FLAG_BROADCAST;
 #endif /* LWIP_ARP */

/* USER CODE BEGIN PHY_PRE_CONFIG */

/* USER CODE END PHY_PRE_CONFIG */
 /* Set PHY IO functions */
 LAN8742_RegisterBusIO(&LAN8742, &LAN8742_IOCtx);

 /* Initialize the LAN8742 ETH PHY */
 if(LAN8742_Init(&LAN8742) != LAN8742_STATUS_OK)
 {
 netif_set_link_down(netif);
 netif_set_down(netif);
 return;
 }

 if (hal_eth_init_status == HAL_OK)
 {
 /* Get link state */
 ethernet_link_check_state(netif);
 }
 else
 {
 Error_Handler();
 }
#endif /* LWIP_ARP || LWIP_ETHERNET */

/* USER CODE BEGIN LOW_LEVEL_INIT */

/* USER CODE END LOW_LEVEL_INIT */
}

Is this generated code lacking something ? if yes is it because i missed some steps when configuring it in CUbeMX ?

@oussamajlassi This low_level_init() function only deals with things related to LwIP. 

IEEE‑1588 PTP timestamps should be enabled somewhere in ETH_init, or maybe in the USER CODE section (between lines 60-62).
