Hi - I'm now trying to port the uIP portion of the CodeRed RDB1768 FreeRTOS v7.01 demo to use on the LPCXpresso1769/LPCXpresso Base Board combo. (all the base board (belongs to us...) brings to the party is an RJ-45 socket...)

Not sure about the RDB1768 hardware for which the demo was written - I had assumed (?) that it was written for the v2 with the SMC (LAN8720) PHY chip; turns out it's looking for the old DP83848 instead. Before I plow onward, has anyone ported the uIP PHY stuff to the SMC LAN8720?

Also, I set the clock frequency in the FreeRTOSConfig.h to 120MHz. Think that 's the configured clock speed.

TIA,

Mike

Take a look here: http://code.google.com/p/micropendousx/

I belive he's using a LAN8720 with the LPC1768. I'm not sure if the demo code is using UIP or LwIP so YMMV.

Thanks, Bruce - I'll give it a shot.

OK - I tried the (now heavily modified) Micropendous port, after having commented out anything not related to the uIP task. The task gets created correctly and is executed by the scheduler, although my writes to the OLED on the LPCXpresso baseboard come very slowly, almost like an old teletype - character by character scrolling across the display.

Then I seem stuck in a loop waiting to receive a packet, but it never passes, although I'm poking away at it with my browser.

I copied the relevant settings to the FreeRTOSConfig.h file as well, although I reset the clock frequency to 120MHz.

Once again, any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike

Oh yeah, the Micropendous 17xx port does use uIP; it was the the 13xx port that used LwIP.

Also, the "slow" I/O to the OLED is relative to a non-FreeRTOS version (using a continuous loop in which I sample the ADC and serve it via easyweb) which works fine. I perform the display write *before* I start the scheduler, so I suspect something in my FreeRTOSConfig.h file.

OK - running now.

I made a bonehead mistake - address mismatch - and didn't notice that my local machine reverted to a hard manual 169.xx.xx.xx IP address when the WiFi was deactivated. With wireless under DHCP it's in the 192.168.13.xx range. (my board was plugged directly into my machine), which conflicted with my ptototype's 192.168.13.xx address...

. The 8270 code I added earlier worked like a champ. Thanks to those who responded.
