I think this behavior is pretty clear from reading the H7 reference
manual. The H7 Ethernet MAC supports only three maximum packet size,
standard (1518 or 1522 if tagged), 2K, and Jumbo (9018 or 9022 if
tagged). The Jumbo packet selection is controlled by settings in registers.
So while 590 is a valid minimum packet size, it is not valid for the H7
(and possibly other MACs). The packet size should be hard coded to 1518
or 1522 for that part (or 9018 or 9022 if Jumbo packet support is needed).

Hello All,
I've been playing around with networking on the STM32H7 and am seeing
hardfaults that appear to be related to NET_ETH_PKTSIZE. From the log
below, the driver would appear to be dropping packets that are too
large to fit into the default packet size of 590. By increasing the
packet size to the max (1518), the problem seems to disappear, but I
am a little confused why the driver is able to catch the fact that the
received packet was too large and drop it appropriately, but then
crash. After poking around the ethernet driver, I think I understand
the issue to be that because the MAC DMA does not know that the buffer
it is writing into has a size limit, it is overflowing the buffer and
writing into adjacent memory. Am I understanding this correctly?
My main concern here is that increasing NET_ETH_PKTSIZE to the limit
will only hide the issue for a time instead of solving it. A quick
google search does show that the maximum ethernet frame size is 1518
bytes though, so I am working under the assumption that maxing it out
in my config will account for all possible frame sizes and eliminate
this issue. I have no experience with low level networking protocols
and standards, so I thought it would be prudent to seek out additional
help to make sure I am on the right track.
Thanks in advance.
