ATOMIC PoE Base W5500 POE+DHCP doesn't work

xgonc

Hello,
I'm using the ATOMIC PoE Base W5500 (SKU: A091).
In Arduino environment, I'm using DHCP. Powering the AtomS3 lite with USB all works fine. However, when I use POE, DHCP doesn't work any more.

I'm using the following to setup the Ethernet interface:

    #define CS 6
    Ethernet.init(CS);
    while(!Ethernet.begin(mac)) {
       Serial.println("Ethernet.begin failed");
    }
    if (Ethernet.hardwareStatus() == EthernetNoHardware)
    {
        Serial.println(
            "Ethernet shield was not found.  Sorry, can't run without "
            "hardware. :(");
        while (true)
        {
            delay(1); // do nothing, no point running without Ethernet hardware
        }
    }
    if (Ethernet.linkStatus() == LinkOFF)
    {
        Serial.println("Ethernet cable is not connected.");
    }

With POE enabled, the code get stucked at the fisrt loop.

Is there anything missing?

Hello @xgonc

maybe try with a short delay() before the first loop?

BTW: the included PoE example works for me.

Thanks

@felmue Thanks for your reply.
Meanwhile I confirmed being powered by POE has no effect. The problem is the interface never gets an address from the DHCP server.
With a fixed address, everything is fine.
Did you try any other Ethernet lib?

Thanks.

Hello @xgonc

no, I did not try any other Ethernet library.

Thanks
