ETH static IP configuration doesn't work

[JAndrassy]

Board

ESP32 Dev module

Device Description

Espressif dev module

Hardware Configuration

W5500 wired on default SPI pins

Version

latest master (checkout manually)

IDE Name

Arduino IDE

Operating System

Linux

Flash frequency

40

PSRAM enabled

yes

Upload speed

any

Description

ETH.config doesn't set static IP configuration, because of

  if (_esp_netif == NULL) {
    return false;
  }

in NetworkInterface.config

Sketch

#define ETH_PHY_TYPE        ETH_PHY_W5500
#define ETH_PHY_ADDR        -1
#define ETH_PHY_CS           5
#define ETH_PHY_IRQ         -1
#define ETH_PHY_RST         -1
#define ETH_PHY_SPI         SPI

#include <ETH.h>

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(500);

  SPI.begin();

  IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1, 177);
  IPAddress gw(192, 168, 1, 1);
  IPAddress dns(192, 168, 1, 1);
  IPAddress mask(255, 255, 255, 0);

  ETH.config(ip, dns, gw, mask);
  ETH.begin();
  while (!ETH.hasIP()) {
    Serial.print('.');
    delay(1000);
  }
  if (ip != ETH.localIP()) {
    Serial.println("ERROR: Static IP was not used.");
  }

 }

void loop() {

}

Debug Message

ERROR: Static IP was not used.

Other Steps to Reproduce

AFTER begin ;) there is nothing to set the address to. WiFi works differently in this regard

[JAndrassy]

so static IP can be used only if begin() with DHCP is executed first?

[me-no-dev]

static IP can only be used if you begin the interface. DHCP comes much later (if you make the calls one after another) and DHCP/StaticIP needs the netif initialized (which happens in begin)

it doesn't work

#define ETH_PHY_TYPE        ETH_PHY_W5500
#define ETH_PHY_ADDR        -1
#define ETH_PHY_CS           5

#define ETH_PHY_RST         -1
#define ETH_PHY_SPI         SPI

#include <ETH.h>

void setup() {

  Serial.begin(115200);
  delay(500);

  SPI.begin();

  IPAddress ip(192, 168, 1, 177);
  IPAddress gw(192, 168, 1, 1);
  IPAddress dns(192, 168, 1, 1);
  IPAddress mask(255, 255, 255, 0);

  ETH.begin();
  ETH.config(ip, dns, gw, mask);

  Serial.print("Attempt to connect to port 80 on ");
  Serial.println(gw);
  NetworkClient client;
  if (client.connect(gw, 80)) {
    Serial.println("\t...success");
  } else {
    Serial.println("\t...ERROR");
  }
  client.stop();
  Serial.println();


 }

void loop() {
}

Wrong order of arguments: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/Network/src/NetworkInterface.h#L39

sorry I don't know from where did I copy that line into the minimal test, but I had the error in the big test sketch so fixing the ordering doesn't help.

IP was correctly assigned and was able to connect to google, though the first attempt failed with DNS error, but second attempt was success.
Can you try a second connect?

[JAndrassy]

I found this #5733 in ETH.cpp mentioned at the end of begin for internal MAC

  // holds a few milliseconds to let DHCP start and enter into a good state
  // FIX ME -- addresses issue https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/5733
  delay(50);

[JAndrassy]

this works

  ETH.begin();
  while (!ETH.linkUp()) {
    Serial.print('.');
    delay(1000);
  }
  Serial.println();
  ETH.config(ip, gw, mask, dns);

maybe begin should wait for linkUP

[me-no-dev]

waiting in libs should be set to minimum. I'll try to find another solution
