Bogdan,
Did your application stop sending pages because of lwip stack corruption? Does the tcp_ip_thread still run? Does the stellarisif_interrupt still fire and allocate pbufs correctly? Finally, make sure you are assigning the proper linkoutput function to your netif. It should lock the tcp_ip_core to prevent pbuf corruption. If I remember correctly, luminary’s inteface code modifies the pbuf queue directly from the transmit/low_level_output functions. Make sure you have defined the proper protection mechanism on your “microkernel”.

I have implemented sys_arch.c so I could use LwIP with netconn API. I built simple application which behaves like a simple web server which sends page with dynamic content. I created html page in such a way that browser keep sending requests each second after first request is made. At the moment everything worked fine. I have ISR which is called whenever ethernet controler receives or needs to send some data. This ISR signals a semaphore, and then highest priority task which is blocked on that semaphore, is ready to run. I want to mention that I am using stellaris driver, so my highest priority task calls stellarisif_interrupt(&ntwrk_intrfc); function which is part of mentioned stellaris driver. As a result tcpip thread (lowest priority) is woken and then it wakes task with middle priority level which listens specified port for incoming connections. This tasks also refreshes page and sends it to client. My stellaris works at 8Mhz.... Because everything seemed fine at the beginning, I tried to start my browser with lots of tabs, all requesting the same page from stellaris web server. After a while program ended up in usage or hard fault. Then I figured maybe it was problem with stack sizes. So I allocated greater stacks for specific tasks (I saw in debugger that tcpip task needs the biggest stack) and program executed well. Then I started more browser tabs, and after a while application stopped sending pages. No fault, just stopped sending pages. Now my stack sizes are 128 words except for tcpip stack which is greater..... Now my application works for about an hour, serving 25 tabs, and according to wireshark having about 0.45Mbit/s traffic. After that it just stops sending pages. I searched for an error using debugger but it is very difficult since problem doesn't appear when I am using step by step debugging, or when program is running from breakpoint to breakpoint. So the question is, did someone have similar problem or can someone give me a hint how to solve this? Is it normal to have some limit of highest traffic allowed under this circumstances? I must say I am beginner when it comes to lwIP and setting its options. Maybe it's lwIP options, or maybe it's just my kernel ..... Please help, I am stuck for days..... Thanks in advance!!! Bogdan
