[En-Nut-Discussion] NutTcpConnect and NutTcpCloseSocket problem

[CAMBON, Olivier]

Hi Ole,
Yes, the board reseted !

I understand what you said in your explanation.
This means that NutTcpSocketClose should use somewhere NutSleep(1) instead of NutThreadYeald().
As NutSleep(1) can releases the CPU to a lower priority thread...

Olivier.

Hi Oliver,

You say that your board resettet, right?

This might indeed point to a hidden bug in the TCP statemachine. We have
to check this further!

The lower the priority of your thread is, the higher the chance, that it
will get the CPU time on a thread-switch.

In other words: With priority 23 it is one of the highest priority
threads, supposingly only the ethernet RX thread has a higher priority.
If your thread now is callong NutTcpCloseSocket, it might came to a
scheduling point. But as no higher priorised thread want's the CPU it
might get back CPU time without waiting. A raise condition might sleep
here anywhere in the TCP stack.

I will try to implement your code on one of my boards and will try to
debug this. Hopefully I can reproduce the problem here.

Bye,

Ole
