Reset & the WIZnet library

In the WIZnetInterface class, one of the parameters is the reset pin (e.g.

WIZnetInterface eth(&spi, PB_6, PB_4); spi, cs, reset

).

However, the library will only actually work if I leave this pin unconnected. Is this supposed to work like this?

Thanks,

Alex

This is WIZnet Ethernet Interface using Hardware TCP/IP chip, W5500, W5200 and W5100. One of them can be selected by enabling it in wiznet.h. ethernet, tcp/ip, w5100, W5200, W5500, Wiznet

Sometimes it may works without reset input but In the library code, mbed's GPIO is applied to the reset input of Wiznet chip.

void WIZnet_Chip::reset() { reset_pin = 1; reset_pin = 0; wait_us(500); 500us (w5500) reset_pin = 1; wait_ms(400); 400ms (w5500) ...

if it's not working, I think you'd better checking if there is any conflict with reset pin.

I'm using a st nucleo 401re board with the Arduino Ethernet shield (based on the W5100). I have had to jumper the ICSP header to the SPI pins on the nucleo board, but I have left the RESET of the ICSP header unconnected (as when I wire it up to any pin on the nucleo board it doesn't work).

I *think* that the Arduino Ethernet shield asserts reset when the reset pin is taken low. From my understanding of the WIZnet library this is opposite to what the library does - am I correct?

Thanks,

Alex

same with me. I left the reset pin open (nc) and i deleted the reset part of the driver. Heiko

Heiko - did you get the SD card working also? That was going to be my next job :)

Which is the "reset input of the Wiznet chip"???
