ESP32-GATEWAY Rev F Ethernet Configurations

[Karim]

Hi there,

now we are working on a projekt with ESP32-GATEWAY revision F. I want simply to run the Ethernet Demo from Olimex "ETH_PHY_demo" or the Ethernet "basic" demo from Espressif. The problem is that the Ethernet driver is not configured correctly. Can you point me which conigurations should I do on "idf.py menuconfig" to let the Ethernet driver works?

Also, I tried the example given from Olimex here, but the code was not able to be compiled by ESP-IDF v4.2.

Have a nice day and stay safe

Best regards,
Karim

Is it maybe also fixed as in the similar thread https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=7480.0

Hi Johns,

thanks a lot for your answer but unfortunately I used the code which was used in the thread you pointed. Of Course I used "Newest-board-revisions" because I am using ESP32-GATEWAY rev F

The example at the Olimex GitHub was made for ESP-IDF version 3.x, it won't work with ESP-IDF 4.x. We have added it in our TODO list to also provide an updated demo.

Until then try using the example for ESP32-PoE, it should work fine with ESP32-GATEWAY without any changes since the Ethernet part is the same:

https://github.com/OLIMEX/ESP32-POE/tree/master/SOFTWARE/ESP-IDF/ESP32_PoE_Ethernet_IDFv4.0

Also consider that ESP-IDF version 4.2 is not stable branch but developer branch. It is meant for ESP-IDF developers and it can contain bugs. It is recommended to use the latest stable tag which is version 4.0.

If you still encounter issues, I'd recommend testing also with the Arduino IDE for ESP32, to confirm if the hardware of the board works fine. For Arduino IDE check this document:

https://www.olimex.com/Products/IoT/ESP32/_resources/Arudino-ESP32.txt

I you have problems with Arduino IDE you might follow my advice in the thread here: https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=7480.0

Thanks a lot for your answer.
Well I tried the source code you pointed me and it seems better but still not working fine!

It looks alright. Where is the problem now?

[Karim]

when I click RST button I get the following:

Code Select Expand

[E (368) lan8720: lan8720_pwrctl(332): power up failed
E (378) lan8720: lan8720_init(368): power control failed

]
then the console output after the first reboot is as I printed in the preceded comment.


I am not getting the event "IP_EVENT_ETH_GOT_IP"
Also, I am not getting the following output on my console.

Update:

well, this link is working for my kit ESP32-GATEWAY rev F. The idea was, that the kit should be connected to a router to get the IP address. To connect the kit with the PC, one should use a static IP address.

[LubOlimex]

Thanks for the update. Glad you got it partially working. The demo should work with DHCP-assigned IP addresses too but probably something in the router settings is not set properly.

Notice that when we wrote this demo we tested only with DHCP-assigned IP addresses.
