CCS/MSP-EXP432E401Y: MSP-EXP432E401Y FreeRTOS + ethernet problem

Part Number: MSP-EXP432E401Y


Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Hello,

I am trying to build an application for a local network. The idea is to use the MSP-EXP432e401y launchpad as a client in a MODBUS/TCP implementation. I am using a library for Mosbus/TCP provided by: 

https://www.oryx-embedded.com/cyclone_tcp.html

This library uses a port for TI devices using FreeRTOS kernel.

The issue is that when I run the application, in the function modbusClientConnect() I get an error where the device is not capable to connect to a server device.

I checked the switch of our local network and discovered that the Ethernet hardware of my TI device is not being recognized. So my guess was that maybe the FreeRTOS configuration is not working correctly for the Ethernet driver. In that sense, I tried by running the "Out of The Box" demo for the TI RTOS kernel and in that case the device was recognized by the local network.

As a final action to make sure it was something related to FreeRTOS and not my CCS project, I uploaded the "Out of The Box" demos for Free RTOS. Again, the network couldn't recognize it.

I think there are some issues (maybe with the last release?) with FreeRTOS and Ethernet on MSP-432 launchpad. Any thoughts about this?
