Problem with lwip mailbox or FreeRTOS Queue
I’m implementing lwip version 1.3.0 on the newly added FreeRTOS port for AVR32 AP7000 but i’m having a problem with a mailbox in lwip or a queue in FreeRTOS.
I have a printf in netcom accept just after the creation of the newconn pointer and after the sys_arch_mbox_fetch and they prints: "newconn 0x2af6" and "mbox fetch: 0x10013540 conn: 0x2af6 recmbox: 0xf01f0046"
In accept_function i have a printf just before the data is added to the mailbox and looks like this: "mailbox: 0x10013540 conn 0x10002600 recvmbox: 0x100136b0"
Why isn’t the data properly sent through the mailbox or queue?
Here’s the code from lwip:
/**
* Accept a new connection on a TCP listening netconn.
*
* @param conn the TCP listen netconn
* @return the newly accepted netconn or NULL on timeout
*/
struct netconn *
netconn_accept(struct netconn *conn)
{
struct netconn *newconn;
printf("newconn %pn", newconn);
LWIP_ERROR("netconn_accept: invalid conn", (conn != NULL), return NULL;);
LWIP_ERROR("netconn_accept: invalid acceptmbox", (conn->acceptmbox != SYS_MBOX_NULL), return NULL;);
#if LWIP_SO_RCVTIMEO
if (sys_arch_mbox_fetch(conn->acceptmbox, (void *)&newconn, conn->recv_timeout) == SYS_ARCH_TIMEOUT) {
newconn = NULL;
} else
#else
sys_arch_mbox_fetch(conn->acceptmbox, (void *)&newconn, 0);
printf("mbox fetch: %p conn: %p recmbox: %pn",conn->acceptmbox, newconn, newconn->recvmbox);
#endif /* LWIP_SO_RCVTIMEO*/

msg.function = do_recv;
msg.msg.conn = conn;

}

return newconn;

the sys_arch_sem_wait() function). The "msg" argument is a result
parameter that is set by the function (i.e., by doing "*msg =

should be dropped.
The return values are the same as for the sys_arch_sem_wait() function:
Number of milliseconds spent waiting or SYS_ARCH_TIMEOUT if there was a
timeout.
Note that a function with a similar name, sys_mbox_fetch(), is
implemented by lwIP.

Problem with lwip mailbox or FreeRTOS Queue
Nevermind. I found the problem.
When a new mailbox is created i had changed the size from sizeof( void * ) to a dynamic size. This is not a good idea when queues in FreeRTOS use void pointers.
