Ethernet on the Nucleo stm32f767zi

I'm in able to get the Ethernet demo to work. it doesn't seams to fail at the eth.connect() any ideas?

I was able to get it working with this code below. I used the python scripts to send and receive the data from the board. Use the latest mbed-os 5.2

ethernet support

#include "mbed.h"
#include "lwip-interface/EthernetInterface.h"

#include <string>
DigitalOut led1(LED1);


using std::string;
const int BROADCAST_PORT_T = 58080;
const int BROADCAST_PORT_R = 58081;
EthernetInterface eth;



void transmit()
{
    UDPSocket socket(&eth);
    string out_buffer = "very important data";
    SocketAddress transmit("192.168.1.159", BROADCAST_PORT_T);

    while (true)
    {
        int ret = socket.sendto(transmit, out_buffer.c_str(), out_buffer.size());
        printf("sendto return: %d\n", ret);

        Thread::wait(5000);
    }
}

void receive()
{
    SocketAddress receive;
    UDPSocket socket(&eth);
    int bind = socket.bind(BROADCAST_PORT_R);
    printf("bind return: %d\n", bind);

    char buffer[256];
    while (true)
    {
        printf("\nWait for packet...\n");
        int n = socket.recvfrom(&receive, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
        buffer[n] = '\0';
        printf("Packet from \"%s\": %s\n", receive.get_ip_address(), buffer);

        Thread::wait(500);
    }
}


int main()
{
    Thread transmitter;
    Thread receiver;
    eth.connect();

    printf("Controller IP Address is %s\r\n", eth.get_ip_address());
    Thread::wait(5000);

    transmitter.start(transmit);
    receiver.start(receive);

    while (true)
    {
        led1 = !led1;
        Thread::wait(500);
    }
}

I'll give it a try later have you got the complete project I can just open?

This is based on the blinky example so get that working and copy this code over the blinky main.

I've tried this but it still returns an error on eth.connect()
