Help with ETH - unable to get IP address DHCP

[pinchy]

Hi guys!

I've got an issue getting ETH working, I'm connecting and getting a link up, but am not getting an IP address and NetworkClient calls fail.

I've got an ESP32-S3 connected via custom GPIOs to a W5500 chip on a custom board. I'm trying to get the ethernet library working (eventually with mqtt). I'm porting over a project that used to use WiFi but we're moving to Ethernet.

I'm loosely basing the trials on: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/ard ... ernet.html

The relevant sections of code look like this, called from setup():

Code: Select all

 SPI.begin(_pins.SCK, _pins.MISO, _pins.MOSI);
 bool r = ETH.begin(ETH_PHY_TYPE, ETH_PHY_ADDR, _pins.SS, _pins.IRQ, _pins.RESET, SPI);
 
   // IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1, 98);
    // IPAddress dns(1, 1, 1, 1);
    // IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 1, 2);
    // IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);
    // ETH.config(ip, gateway, subnet, dns);
  

With an event handler:

Code: Select all

void PostOfficeEthernetESP32::parseNetworkEvent(arduino_event_id_t event, arduino_event_info_t info)
{
    this->_event = event;
    switch (event)
    {
        case ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_START:
            ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet Started");
            ETH.setHostname("fertigator-0");
            if (this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_START] != nullptr) this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_START]();
            break;

        case ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_STOP:
            ESP_LOGW(TAG, "Ethernet Stopped");
            this->_connected = false;
            if (this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_STOP] != nullptr) this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_STOP]();
            break;

        case ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_CONNECTED:
            ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet Connected");
            ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Link Speed: %d", ETH.linkSpeed());
            if (this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_CONNECTED] != nullptr) this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_CONNECTED]();
            break;

        case ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_DISCONNECTED:
            ESP_LOGW(TAG, "Ethernet Disconnected");
            this->_connected = false;
            if (this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_DISCONNECTED] != nullptr) this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_DISCONNECTED]();
            break;

        case ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_GOT_IP:

            ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Ethernet got IP: '%s'", esp_netif_get_desc(info.got_ip.esp_netif));
            Serial.println(ETH);
            this->_connected = true;
            if (this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_GOT_IP] != nullptr) this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_GOT_IP]();
            break;

        case ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_LOST_IP:
            ESP_LOGW(TAG, "Ethernet lost IP");
            this->_connected = false;
            if (this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_LOST_IP] != nullptr) this->_onNetworkEvent[ETH_LOST_IP]();
            break;


        default:
            break;
    }
}

Calling ETH.config
Now if I uncomment out the static IP assignment block in the setup then the ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_START , ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_CONNECTED and ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_GOT_IP events fire. However if I comment it out, with the intention to get a DCHP dynamic IP, then the ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_GOT_IP event never fires.

As it results in the same issue as not calling ETH.config() (ARDUINO_EVENT_ETH_GOT_IP is never called)


The ETH API docs (linked above) are a little light on detail, and I'm struggling to get this working. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

So, static assignment works, but is the device actually connected? Can you ping it if you make a static IP? Can it reach the outside world (eg, sntp)?

[ESP_ondrej]

That W5500 error messages indicate that there is something wrong with SPI communication. How is your W5500 connected to ESP32-S3? Is it custom board or via wires? What Arduino version do you use? Is other device connected to the same SPI bus?
