Fixes issue #4537. SerialBase and UARTSerial happened to have same names
for the mutex locking that confused the system of holding a mutex in interrupt context.
UARTSerial has to change so as to provide empty implementations for lock() and unlock()
becuase it uses SerialBase from interrupt context only or from its own critical section,
so no extra locks required.
Private locks for UARTSerial itself are renamed to api_lock() and api_unlock().
The function _eth_arch_low_level_input() is meant to pass data into
LWIP and to prepare the ethernet buffers to receive more data.
If the LWIP heap is empty and the call to pbuf_alloc() in
_eth_arch_low_level_input returns null, the ethernet receive buffers
are not updated to receive data. Because of this the ethernet RX
interrupt will not fire. Since the RX interrupt is the only thing that
triggers a call to _eth_arch_low_level_input(), the receive buffers
will never get cleared, and the device stops receiving data.
To prevent this from happening, this patch ensures that the function
_eth_arch_low_level_input() clears the receive buffers even if a new
pbuf for the data couldn't be allocated.
This issue can be reproduce by running the test
"features-feature_lwip-tests-mbedmicro-net-udp_echo_parallel"
and on the same machine running the below python script to flood the
device with UDP broadcast packets:
MY_IP = #ADD your local IP here
from socket import *
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM)
s.bind((MY_IP, 1234))
s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
s.setsockopt(SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, 1)
for _ in range(1000):
s.sendto("test data", ('255.255.255.255', 1234))
print("Message sent")
Previously if updating a branch in the ARMmbed version of an example
repo, the branch would be created initially from master. This update
allows the new branch to be created by any pre-existing branch.
This update also moves the branch / fork / tag configuration data to the
json config file. It thus simplifies the command line.
-b on its own now indicates use the branch information in the config
-f on its own now indicates use the fork information in the config
This reduces the number of loads inside of the .data copy loop by 3 by using one more register. It should work on any STM32 with at least 5 general-purpose registers. If only 4 are available, then 1 load could still be removed from the original implementation.
lwipopts_conf.h is used by target dependent Ethernet drivers for
configuring various parameters.
By default, Ethernet is enabled and in this case lwipopts_conf.h
will be included.
In case of PPP being enabled, it is desirable to not pull in any Ethernet
related code.
