Hi MicroE,

Please explain to me the purpose of a variable Net_Ethernet_Intern_userTimerSec in Network Ethernet Library Version: 1.0.6.1.

In __NetEthInternal_STM32.h is written:

extern unsigned long Net_Ethernet_Intern_userTimerSec; // must be incremented by user 1 time per second

I don't increment the variable and program works O.K.

Note: I use in my program UDP only.

Thank you

Hi,

In the case you don't use the Net_Ethernet_Intern_userTimerSec, there will be no retransmission of the packets,
if you call ARP which doesn't pass, you will be stuck in the while loop and other specific situations.

Filip.

Hi Filip,

Thank you for your response.

My recommendation is: Such important information should be added to the help.
