[lwip-users] DHCP with lwIP

[Muhamad Ikhwan Ismail]

 
Hi ..
First thing first, thanks for reading this and helping out.
I am a student given the task of porting the lwip 1.2.0
to the 32bit Freescale MPC852T running on a commercial RTOS and im about to write the
source code for the ethernet interface setup when I started to give
a thought about DHCP for my device to obtain an IP Address and gateway.
Following is my question :
 
1. Following is my program flow for the ethernet setup :
Bring HW up (not netif, just hardware setup) --> create netif and initialize it with HW address info
-->call DHCP (dhcp_start();)-->make netif default and add it into the list.
Is the flow for a threaded environment ok ? Did I forget anything....e,g úse the socket API (another requirement)
 
2. How am I suppose to figure out the memory allignment? 
 
Also any link which could help me porting lwip would be welcome...
Thanks a lot in advance....
 
Ikhwan
