Hi
I am trying to get the Ethernet examples (both enet_echo and enet_lwip) to run using a static IP address on the evmAM335x board. I set this up (STATIC_IP_ADDRESS) in the respective header file (lwipopts.h) but the application appears to always try to go dynamic. When I run the app using the evmAM335x board the serial port output is as follows:
Acquiring IP Address...
EVM IP Address Assigned: 0.0.0.0
etc.
It looks as if the netif_add(...) procedure within the lwip_init(...) procedure is failing causing an address of zero.
In the netif_add(...) the init(netif) returns an error of -8 (no connection). It appears to fail with the call to PhyLinkStatusGet. I increase the number of retries from 1000 to 30000 and I can get it to respond with the correct static IP address.
Can anyone explain this? Is there something else I have to change?
Second question: Having got this to respond with the correct IP address I am unable to get the browser to see the address. Have I messed something up with the change above?
Thank you
Chris
PS I have a switch between the PC and the board which shows the connections are up.
