Re: [lwip-users] LPC2468+lwIP+FreeRTOS+GCC

I could tell you another story about how well lwIP ran on my ARM7, but 
I'd like to question the significance of the statement "never seen lwIP 
work on an ARM7"... If it has a C compiler, it runs! (of course, you 
need an ethernet MAC also...)

You have to be careful about using the word GCC, I guess: at first, I 
compiled lwIP with the C++ compiler of GCC, which lead to many warnings. 
But using the C compiler, I'm pretty sure there are no warnings 
generated (unless you use one of the more chatty warning switches).

Of course you need someone to write an OS/platform port (unless you want 
to do it yourself), but apart from that, there's no reason I can think 
of that lwIP wouldn't run on an ARM7!

P.S.: If you really want to get it running, it might help to know which 
version you are using. Also, take a look at the example ports in the 
contrib module (accessible via downloads or CVS) and at the lwIP wiki.
