@ -23,6 +25,12 @@ Adapted APIs
Some common lwIP app APIs are supported indirectly by ESP-IDF:
- Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Server & Client are supported indirectly via the :doc:`/api-reference/network/esp_netif` functionality.
- Domain Name System (DNS) is supported in lwIP; DNS servers could be assigned automatically when acquiring a DHCP address, or manually configured using the :doc:`/api-reference/network/esp_netif` API.
.. note::
DNS server configuration in lwIP is global, not interface-specific. If you are using multiple network interfaces with distinct DNS servers, exercise caution to prevent inadvertent overwrites of one interface's DNS settings when acquiring a DHCP lease from another interface.
- Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is also supported via the :doc:`/api-reference/network/esp_netif`, or directly via the :component_file:`lwip/include/apps/esp_sntp.h` functions, which also provide thread-safe API to :component_file:`lwip/lwip/src/include/lwip/apps/sntp.h` functions, see also :ref:`system-time-sntp-sync`.
- ICMP Ping is supported using a variation on the lwIP ping API, see :doc:`/api-reference/protocols/icmp_echo`.
- ICMPv6 Ping, supported by lwIP's ICMPv6 Echo API, is used to test IPv6 network connectivity. For more information, see :example:`protocols/sockets/icmpv6_ping`.

Customized lwIP Options From ESP-IDF Build System
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The most common lwIP options are configurable through the component configuration menu. However, certain definitions need to be injected from the command line. The CMake function ``target_compile_definitions()`` can be employed to define macros, as illustrated below:
.. code-block:: cmake
idf_component_get_property(lwip lwip COMPONENT_LIB)
target_compile_definitions(${lwip} PRIVATE "-DETHARP_SUPPORT_VLAN=1")
This approach may not work for function-like macros, as there is no guarantee that the definition will be accepted by all compilers, although it is supported in GCC. To address this limitation, the ``add_definitions()`` function can be utilized to define the macro for the entire project, for example: ``add_definitions("-DFALLBACK_DNS_SERVER_ADDRESS(addr)=\"IP_ADDR4((addr), 8,8,8,8)\"")``.
Alternatively, you can define your function-like macro in a header file which will be pre-included as an lwIP hook file, see :ref:`lwip-custom-hooks`.
Limitations
^^^^^^^^^^^
ESP-IDF additions to lwIP still suffer from the global DNS limitation, described in :ref:`lwip-dns-limitation`. To address this limitation from application code, the ``FALLBACK_DNS_SERVER_ADDRESS()`` macro can be utilized to define a global DNS fallback server accessible from all interfaces. Alternatively, you have the option to maintain per-interface DNS servers and reconfigure them whenever the default interface changes.
Calling ``send()`` or ``sendto()`` repeatedly on a UDP socket may eventually fail with ``errno`` equal to ``ENOMEM``. This failure occurs due to the limitations of buffer sizes in the lower-layer network interface drivers. If all driver transmit buffers are full, the UDP transmission will fail. For applications that transmit a high volume of UDP datagrams and aim to avoid any dropped datagrams by the sender, it is advisable to implement error code checking and employ a retransmission mechanism with a short delay.

使用 ESP-IDF 构建系统自定义 lwIP 选项
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
组件配置菜单可以配置常见的 lwIP 选项但是一些自定义选项需要通过命令行添加。CMake 函数 ``target_compile_definitions()`` 可以用于定义宏,示例如下:
.. code-block:: cmake
idf_component_get_property(lwip lwip COMPONENT_LIB)
target_compile_definitions(${lwip} PRIVATE "-DETHARP_SUPPORT_VLAN=1")
使用这种方法可能无法定义函数式宏。虽然 GCC 支持此类定义,但是未必所有编译器都会接受。为了解决这一限制,可以使用 ``add_definitions()`` 函数为整个项目定义宏,例如 ``add_definitions("-DFALLBACK_DNS_SERVER_ADDRESS(addr)=\"IP_ADDR4((addr), 8,8,8,8)\"")``
另一种方法是在头文件中定义函数式宏,该头文件将预先包含在 lwIP 钩子文件中,请参考 :ref:`lwip-custom-hooks`
限制
^^^^^^^^^^^
:ref:`lwip-dns-limitation` 所述ESP-IDF 中的 lwIP 扩展功能仍然受到全局 DNS 限制的影响。为了在应用程序代码中解决这一限制,可以使用 ``FALLBACK_DNS_SERVER_ADDRESS()`` 宏定义所有接口能够访问的全局 DNS 备用服务器,或者单独维护每个接口的 DNS 服务器,并在默认接口更改时重新配置。
在 UDP 套接字上重复调用 ``send()````sendto()`` 最终可能会导致错误。此时 ``errno`` 报错为 ``ENOMEM``,错误原因是底层网络接口驱动程序中的 buffer 大小有限。当所有驱动程序的传输 buffer 已满时UDP 传输事务失败。如果应用程序需要发送大量 UDP 数据报,且不希望发送方丢弃数据报,建议检查错误代码,采用短延迟的重传机制。
