Initialization of the `Ethernet driver` is wrapped in separate [sub-component](./components/ethernet_init/ethernet_init.c) of this project to clearly distinguish between the driver's and `esp_netif` initializations. The work flow of the example could be as follows: 1. Install Ethernet driver 2. Attach the driver to `esp_netif` 3. Send DHCP requests and wait for a DHCP lease 4. If get IP address successfully, then you will be able to ping the device If you have a new Ethernet application to go (for example, connect to IoT cloud via Ethernet), try this as a basic template, then add your own code. ## How to use example ### Hardware Required To run this example, it's recommended that you have an official ESP32 Ethernet development board - [ESP32-Ethernet-Kit](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/hw-reference/get-started-ethernet-kit.html). This example should also work for 3rd party ESP32 board as long as it's integrated with a supported Ethernet PHY chip. Up until now, ESP-IDF supports up to four Ethernet PHY: `LAN8720`, `IP101`, `DP83848` and `RTL8201`, additional PHY drivers should be implemented by users themselves. Besides that, `esp_eth` component can drive third-party Ethernet module which integrates MAC and PHY and provides common communication interface (e.g. SPI, USB, etc). This example will take the `DM9051`, `W5500` or `KSZ8851SNL` SPI modules as an example, illustrating how to install the Ethernet driver in the same manner. The ESP-IDF supports the usage of multiple Ethernet interfaces at a time when external modules are utilized which is also demonstrated by this example. There are several options you can combine: * Internal EMAC and one SPI Ethernet module. * Two SPI Ethernet modules of the same type connected to single SPI interface and accessed by switching appropriate CS. * Internal EMAC and two SPI Ethernet modules of the same type. #### Pin Assignment See common pin assignments for Ethernet examples from [upper level](../README.md#common-pin-assignments). When using two Ethernet SPI modules at a time, they are to be connected to single SPI interface. Both modules then share data (MOSI/MISO) and CLK signals. However, the CS, interrupt and reset pins need to be connected to separate GPIO for each Ethernet SPI module. ### Configure the project ``` idf.py menuconfig ``` See common configurations for Ethernet examples from [upper level](../README.md#common-configurations). ### Build, Flash, and Run Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output: ``` idf.py -p PORT build flash monitor ``` (Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.) (To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.) See the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/index.html) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects. ## Example Output ```bash I (394) eth_example: Ethernet Started I (3934) eth_example: Ethernet Link Up I (3934) eth_example: Ethernet HW Addr 30:ae:a4:c6:87:5b I (5864) esp_netif_handlers: eth ip: 192.168.2.151, mask: 255.255.255.0, gw: 192.168.2.2 I (5864) eth_example: Ethernet Got IP Address I (5864) eth_example: ~~~~~~~~~~~ I (5864) eth_example: ETHIP:192.168.2.151 I (5874) eth_example: ETHMASK:255.255.255.0 I (5874) eth_example: ETHGW:192.168.2.2 I (5884) eth_example: ~~~~~~~~~~~ ``` Now you can ping your ESP32 in the terminal by entering `ping 192.168.2.151` (it depends on the actual IP address you get). ## Troubleshooting See common troubleshooting for Ethernet examples from [upper level](../README.md#common-troubleshooting).
