Hi,

I am working on LPC1833 microcontroller and used lwip stack v1.4.1 and freeRTOS v7.3.0.

I am successfully able to up and run the stack and ping this controller from other device. But this work for sort time(around 2 to 3 minutes) after that ping is lost.I have trace the issue in which mem_malloc function fails to allocate memory.The Flow of code it as follows(From top to bottom)

    vPacketReceiveTask
                   |
     lpc_enetif_input
                   |
     lpc_low_level_input
                   |
         lpc_rx_queue
                   |
           pbuf_alloc
                   |
           mem_malloc

Now one interesting thing is ping is successfully working until 1536 bytes successfully allocated and when allocation fail start for those bytes then ping is lost.1536 bytes is buffer length of ethernet buffer.

Any one idea about issue?

Regards,
Jayesh

Is there a free() for each malloc()?

This is not in my hand free will handle by lwip stack and driver.
