Hello group,

 

I'm implementing GBE (gigabit Ethernet) on a PowerPC platform and because of
realtime constraints chose lwIP with no OS.  I need to receive 1MB-4MB
images as fast as possible for some processing and then will be passing them
on to other hardware.  Is MEMP_NUM_TCPIP_MSG the significant parameter to
change to be able to buffer the entire image while it's being processed
serially and passed on?

 

Secondly, the PowerPC loads packets directly into buffer descriptor memory.
Is looks possible (best) at low_level_input to point pbufs right into the
received packet without copying.  If I'm correct that this can be done, the
question I have is, where can I know the data was read by the upper layer to
be able free the pbuf and at the same time to be able to free memory for the
Ethernet controller?

 

Thank you,

 

Bill Auerbach
