Ethernet 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".

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

Is the static IP in the same subnet as the computer you use to ping?

yes, it is.

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)

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.

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?

Did you disable DHCP in the NicheStack properties?
Please post again the console log with DHCP disabled.

I set "dhcp=0" in iniche_init.c (line line 341)

again no ping.

I'm not sure this assignment will really disable dhcp.
You should disable it in bsp iNiche properties or remove the DHCP_CLIENT define inside ipport.h
