Question

STM32H743ZI - Bug in ethernetif.c ?

Hello!

I ported my projects from Atollic TrueSTUDIO® for STM32 (Version 9.3.0) and STM32CubeMX (Version 4.27.0) to STM32CubeIDE (Version: 1.0.2).

When testing my Application, Ethernet did not work until i changed the ethernetif.c file generated by STM32CubeIDE (Version: 1.0.2).

In Detail, i added a line in this function:

static err_t low_level_output(struct netif *netif, struct pbuf *p)

Concretely, i added:  

 SCB_CleanInvalidateDCache();

before the transmit function is executed:

 HAL_ETH_Transmit(&heth, &TxConfig, ETH_DMA_TRANSMIT_TIMEOUT);

This was done in my old project, which was generated by STM32CubeMX (Version 4.27.0).

The attached picture shows the differences in STM32CubeMX (Version 4.27.0) [LEFT] and STM32CubeIDE (Version: 1.0.2) [RIGHT].

Why do I have to add this line?

Best regards,

Invalidating all cache will damage other unrelated data. Cleaning all cache can be safe, but is much slower anyway. Proper way is this:

for(q = p; q != NULL; q = q->next)
{
	...
	SCB_CleanDCache_by_Addr(q->payload, q->len);
	...
}

This must be added to the for loop inside low_level_output().

Thanks for the advice. I changed it like you said and it works, too.

But why do I have to add this line? And why is it not added automaticly by STM32CubeIDE (Version: 1.0.2)  ?

My MPU settings and linker command file are copied from "LwIP_HTTP_Server_Netconn_RTOS" example in "STM32Cube_FW_H7_V1.5.0".

The MPU settings look as follows:

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_LEVEL1;
 MPU_InitStruct.AccessPermission = MPU_REGION_FULL_ACCESS;
 MPU_InitStruct.DisableExec = MPU_INSTRUCTION_ACCESS_ENABLE;
 MPU_InitStruct.IsShareable = MPU_ACCESS_SHAREABLE;
 MPU_InitStruct.IsCacheable = MPU_ACCESS_NOT_CACHEABLE;
 MPU_InitStruct.IsBufferable = MPU_ACCESS_NOT_BUFFERABLE;
 
 HAL_MPU_ConfigRegion(&MPU_InitStruct);
 /* Enables the MPU */
 HAL_MPU_Enable(MPU_PRIVILEGED_DEFAULT);
 
}

Amd this is my Linker File:

ENTRY(Reset_Handler)

_estack = 0x24080000; /* end of RAM */
/* Generate a link error if heap and stack don't fit into RAM */
