Honored ContributorEthernet Example Design on Cyclone III Dev Board (3C120F780)
Hi,
I'm not able to get the Altera's Ethernet Example Design to work on the Cyclone III Dev. Board. I used the "Using the NicheStack TCP/IP Stack - Nios II Edition Tutorial".

Altera_ForumIs the static IP in the same subnet as the computer you use to ping?
- Altera_Forum
yes, it is.

The DHCP isn't working, I cannot ping the board and telnet isn't working. In a next step I set the IP to a static one -> the same effect. I got the same effect for the example templates in Nios2-Eclipse. I checked the same design with the NEEK board and it runs well (naturally the .sof for the NEEK) with the original flash-file (the application selector) and the niosii_ethernet_standard_3c25.sof overloading. Using another flash-content, it also doesn't work like the 3C120. Any idea? Best Regards Mark --- Quote End --- seeing your output it seems that u r hardware is not taking ip address. go to the simple_socket_server.h file and give your IP address + if you don't have DHCP server, through network_utilities.c file disable it (*use_dhcp = 0)PHY INFO: 0x12 141 cc2 PHY INFO: Issuing PHY Reset PHY INFO: waiting on PHY link...

I marked the last two bytes of the IP and the MAC with "x", because the IP is in a public subnet.
I disabled DHCP and also tested the design in a private subnet (192.168.123.001 255.255.255.000) with no change. - Altera_Forum
The hardware doesn't work. I believe timing constrains are wrong or there are none.

@Socrates:
It's the original .sof-file from Altera. So it should work, or not? @all is there anyone who has an ethernet design running for the 3c120f780 Cyclone III dev board and can send it to me? Best Regards - Altera_Forum
Did you disable DHCP in the NicheStack properties?
Please post again the console log with DHCP disabled. - Altera_Forum
I set "dhcp=0" in iniche_init.c (line line 341)
again no ping.PHY INFO: 0x12 141 cc2 PHY INFO: Issuing PHY Reset PHY INFO: waiting on PHY link... PHY INFO: PHY link detected, allowing network to start. SSS INFO: Connecting...

You should disable it in bsp iNiche properties or remove the DHCP_CLIENT define inside ipport.h
