W5500 Ethernet controller on OpenMV

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone successfully built the openmv with the “MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K=5500” flag?
Below is the error when I try to build it.
Thanks,
Will

It looks like you need to edit the MakeFile to include the wiznet c code. Usually, this means you need to find what .c file makes that thing up and add it to the MakeFile which compiles the C file and you also need to edit the main MakeFile that links the .o files.

Having the same issue the screenshot showed the relevant files needed for this variable are available i’m not expert in C code but any help would be very much appreciated as there is only a hand full of comments on this error online.

You need to edit the make file system to include the compile the specified file and then include the .o.

I don’t actually know which files you need to modify. However, it’s not hard. You just have to go into the make files and add the missing file in the right places.

This is a update of my findings:

Using the “MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K=5500” flag:

this files the compiling of the c code in the stm32/makefile

ifneq ($(MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K),0)
WIZNET5K_DIR=drivers/wiznet5k
INC += -I$(TOP)/$(WIZNET5K_DIR)
CFLAGS_MOD += -DMICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K=$(MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K) -D_WIZCHIP_=$(MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K)
ifeq ($(MICROPY_PY_LWIP),1)
# When using MACRAW mode (with lwIP), maximum buffer space must be used for the raw socket
CFLAGS_MOD += -DWIZCHIP_USE_MAX_BUFFER
endif
SRC_MOD += network_wiznet5k.c modnwwiznet5k.c
SRC_MOD += $(addprefix $(WIZNET5K_DIR)/,\
	ethernet/w$(MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K)/w$(MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K).c \
	ethernet/wizchip_conf.c \
	ethernet/socket.c \
	internet/dns/dns.c \
	)
endif

This error is still occurring even when i have added the o files that have been compiled in the

$(BUILD)/$(MICROPY_DIR)/drivers/

After added the relevant compiled libraries into the build in the /src/MakeFile

ifneq ($(MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K),0)
FIRM_OBJ += $(addprefix $(BUILD)/$(MICROPY_DIR)/drivers/,\
	wiznet5k/ethernet/w$(MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K)/w$(MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K).o \
	wiznet5k/ethernet/wizchip_conf.o \
	wiznet5k/ethernet/socket.o \
	wiznet5k/internet/dns/dns.o \
	)
endif

This is still causing the original issue

There is only one modnetwork.o so that doesnt need to be changed. all the relevant files are in place. I am unsure what ‘mod_network_nic_type_wiznet5k’ maybe its a parameter needed in the make file i have logged an issue with the micropython github hopefully they can give me the parameter i need to declare: MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K=5500: `mod_network_nic_type_wiznet5k' · Issue #6625 · micropython/micropython · GitHub

You need to link the object file that has the object, grep is your friend:

> grep -r mod_network_nic_type_wiznet5k *
ports/stm32/modnwwiznet5k.c:    wiznet5k_obj.base.type = (mp_obj_type_t*)&mod_network_nic_type_wiznet5k;
ports/stm32/modnwwiznet5k.c:const mod_network_nic_type_t mod_network_nic_type_wiznet5k = {

In that file you’ll see that it also needs LWIP enabled:

#if MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K && !MICROPY_PY_LWIP

Hi,
Thank you for the response you’re a life saver, wish i knew about grep before! it has fixed all my issues! now on to testing :open_mouth:
That a hardware engineer trying to learn firmware for you :laughing:
I will make a pull request in the morning!
All the Best,
Jack

Now Receiving this error:

when is use the grep command i get this:

omv/py/py_winc.c:const mod_network_nic_type_t mod_network_nic_type_winc = {

All of these files except for :
build/micropython/genhdr/qstr.i.last

are accounted for in the make files, is there anything obvious im missing?

You’ve disabled the winc1500, you need to re-enable it too or remove that line.

Forcing the compile flag has the same result with or without

MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K=5500

same error as above has been causing with:

 make TARGET=OPENMV4 MICROPY_PY_LWIP=1 MICROPY_PY_WINC1500=1

when force disable MICROPY_PY_WINC1500 with:

make TARGET=OPENMV4 MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K=5500 MICROPY_PY_LWIP=1 MICROPY_PY_WINC1500=0

This is my error message:

It looks likes LWIP is causing this somehow, any ideas?

I see multiple issues, first if you want to disable modules like WINC you need to edit this file:

omv/boards/OPENMV4/omv_boardconfig.mk

Set WINC to 0.

I think this config will work for you:

MICROPY_PY_ULAB = 0
MICROPY_PY_WINC1500 = 0
MICROPY_PY_IMU = 0
MICROPY_PY_LWIP = 1
MICROPY_PY_WIZNET5K = 1



/usr/bin/…/lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/7.3.1/…/…/…/…/arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: region SRAM1' overflowed by 24012 bytes /usr/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-none-eabi/7.3.1/../../../../arm-none-eabi/bin/ld: region FLASH_TEXT’ overflowed by 16 bytes

If you get this you need to disable things until the firmware fits, try to disable things in imlib_config.h and you need to lower the heap in omv_boardconfig.h

/home/jack/Development/OPENMV_FIRMWARE/openmv/src/build/micropython/modnetwork.o: In function `pyb_lwip_poll':
/home/jack/Development/OPENMV_FIRMWARE/openmv/src/micropython/ports/stm32/modnetwork.c:61: undefined reference to `wiznet5k_poll'

I think the above config will fix these.

Finally keep in mind that even if it builds it still may not work with our firmware, it may be missing a callback or something, so you’re on your own here.

Hello,

When the source file w5500 for micropython library, I see that there is a function wiznet5k_poll. However it is in the network_wiznet5k.c file.

May be you are working an old source files of the micropython.

I want to run w5500 with openmv. If you are able to run the driver. Let me know please
