Hi Eric,
I just got the feedback, the design team told setting ip address for PC is for the convenience of demonstration, you know, the demo needs board to be connected with PC directly, so they have to be kept in the same network segment, so that they can communicate each other. but if they connect thru some network which has DHCP server, no needs to configure PC's IP address, but the board or the embedded application needs DHCP client application code, which supports by LwIp already, you may find the related APIs in C:\Freescale\KSDK_1.2.0\middleware\tcpip\lwip\src\core\dhcp.c, but there is no demo for it, customers have to add the code by themselves, sorry for the inconvenience that might cause.
For more details regarding LwIp APIs, please kindly refer to lwIP 1.3.0 .
Hope that helps ,
Have a great day,
Kan
