Ethernet connection on DE2-115 with the Standard Edition of Quartus 15.1

Hello,

In my project I am trying to make work the Ethenet connection of our DE2-115 board.

The FPGA associated to it is a Cyclone IV and our version of Quartus is Quartus Prime 15.1.

For the moment, I can not make work both the Web server exemple explained with the User Manual of the DE2-115

and the Using Triple-Speed Ethernet on DE2-115 Boards tutorial.

So I have these followed question:

Is it able to use the Ethernet connection with a Cyclone IV FPGA?

Is it possible to use the Ethenet connection with a Standard Edition of Quartus 15.1?

Help are welcome.

BR

Didier

    The demos in the DE2-115 CD were made with an older version of Quartus. You didn't say if you failed to build or if it built but didn't run. Test it with the image that comes on the CD. There are a lot of steps to follow to get the web server working, make sure you follow them. If that works, use the version of Quartus that compiled the example. You might want to use newer and newer versions to port the example to the latest Quartus, but that process can be time consuming.
