STM32N6 wrong heth and eth_handle definitions for ethernet driver

[TheImmortal]

Hello,

It took few days to find what is wrong with network, and why I can't get it to work, finally I found what libraries have wrong definitions for heth and eth_handle in file nx_stm32_eth_config.h:

extern ETH_HandleTypeDef heth;
#define eth_handle heth

For N6 MCU correct definition is heth1 defined in main.c, and still, even if you replace heth to heth1 you will not get ethernet to work, I am not sure why, only one way how I get it to work is to replace all heth and eth_handle variables to heth1 in nx_stm32_eth_config.h file !

But the worst moment is then you regenerate code from cubeMX all the replacements is gone and network will not work again.

And for STM team - dont change structures in examples, include IOC files, because cubeMX generates code totally differently, you are not only causing problems for users, but you are also struggling to solve customer issues yourself.

For a quick workaround, make heth alias of heth1.

At the end of your link script., add:

PROVIDE ( heth = heth1 );
