Hello everyone, Currently working on an application for a network controlled switch box. So far everything has gone great and we've finally completed our application that is capable of sending switch commands over the network using NuttX on the W5500-EVB Pico.
I have one last hurdle left for this project, and that is automatically booting into our application instead of `nsh_main`. I have done this before for other less involved applications and typically only needed to do some `boardctl` calls to start up the USB shell. This time, however, I need to start up networking at boot time without relying on NSH's initialization. I read through the docs and found that this is done in `nsh_netinit()` (since renamed `netinit_bringup` I believe). After reading through some of the code I see it performs some important tasks like setting the MAC address (W5500 has software MAC only), etc. I am wondering if there is a suggested way for me to perform all these task without needing to use NSH. I suppose I can include the `netutils.h` file into my application and call it myself? Is there anyway to initialize the networking infrastructure within board code, like `board_appinit()`? I can't access the `netutils` library from board code, and it appears that networking is one of the few initialization tasks without a `boardctl` call. Any help is appreciated! Thank you, -- Matteo Golin
