Hi.
I have been trying hard to get my FreeRTOS v7.3.0 system working together with lwIP v1.4.1 and I have sucessfully managed to get connection and DHCP.
But when I try to use sockets it only works sometimes.

Most of the times it takes long, trying to connect, and then it times out.

I have been trying almost everything from changing the Heap Size, changing the TCP-IP stack and priority.
But as I don't know that much about RTOS yet, I am unsure if the problem might have something to do with interrupt priority of the Ethernet layer.

I don't know if the NVIC IRQ Priority of the Ethernet HAL should be set lower or higher.
I have been trying with
Code: 
NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 2;
as it was how it was in the example STM32 Ethernet port.

Have any of you experienced the same type of timeouts or VERY slow response?

Thanks a lot.

Regards Thomas
 

I have now done some logging and package sniffing and it seems like the webserver in the other end doesn't respond to the requests, rather than a problem with the RTOS and the lwIP stack.

This is the log:
Code:

In that case, as the server isn't responding properly, could it be something with the HTTP header?
The header I'm sending/using is:
GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nUser-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)\r\nHost: api.theblast.dk\r\n\r\n

Looking forward to your feedback.

Regards Thomas
