Hi everyone,

 

I’ve implemented a websocket client that runs on a STM32F4 with FreeRTOS and
lwIP 1.4.1.

 

The client is supposed to send the machine status to the server each 5
seconds (plain text message).

 

I let the client run for 2.5 days and the result is the following:

 

-          After 2 hours running smoothly, the client starts experiencing
delays. For example: it doesn’t send anything during 15 seconds and all of a
sudden it sends 3  status messages in a 1 second period.

-          Things get worse until server raises a timeout and disconnects
the client because it is not able to send anything in a 30 second period.

-          The client is able to reconnect, but (since delays persist) it is
disconnected again by the server. I’ve got a ~ 12 hour period of
connection/delay/disconnection.

-          After this period of instability, I’ve got a ~ 12 hour period
during which everything runs smoothly (status messages are delivered each 5
seconds).

-          And so on so forth.

 

I logged everything: OS tasks memory and CPU consumption and LWIP stats.
Everything seems to be fine:  

 

-          OS tasks don’t run out of memory and CPU consumption is under
control.

-          All lwIP memory indicators are below the “available” marker and
they have no errors triggered.

-          lwIP sys indicators remain below the maximum level and no errors
are triggered.

-          The only thing that points to an error is the ETHARP log:

o   XMIT remains stable at 5.

o   RECV counter increases until 65.461 and then drops to 0 (I assume it is
a 16 bit counter). 

o   CACHEHIT increases linearly. 

o   PROTERR gets regularly incremented until a final value of 28.

 

Any clues anyone?

 

Thank you very much!

 

Fran
