Hi Simon, Yes, i am using lwip with LWIP_TCPIP_CORE_LOCKING=1.
How to use the default one, is it the same code base with different options or is it completely a different code base? Regarding the crash, i am getting kernel oops with the message "unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxx". xxx is the address of the data (dataptr).
