Honored ContributorNeed help : implement Gigabit Ethernet
Hello,
I'm new on this forum, so I hope that I'll be clear with my question. I'm currently working on Cyclone III FPGA Development Kit with the EP3C120F780C7N. For my project I have to etablish a communication between my PC and my board with the Gigabit Ethernet. I have to send to the board datas to configure a camera and then send the pixels to the PC for a display. My PHY device is Marvell 88E1111 so I try since two weeks to configure it with RGMII interface. My problem is that I don't know how to use the TripleSpeedEthernet 9.1 either with MegaWizard Plug-In Manager (how to link all the I/O) or with SOPC (where I'm a total beginner). Can someone help me and explain me how to use these functions or how to begin (maybe a tutorial exists with v9.1sp1) to advance in my project ? Thanks in advance.36 Replies
Altera_Forumthanks for advice Daixi,
i build the project without trouble but when i tried to run as "nios II hw", i didn't see some errors but that : " Using cable "USB-Blaster [USB-0]", device 1, instance 0x00 Processor is already paused Reading System ID at address 0x10022C90: verified Initializing CPU cache (if present) OK Downloading 0C000000 ( 0%) Downloading 0C010000 (20%) Downloading 0C020000 (40%) Downloading 0C030000 (61%) Downloading 0C040000 (81%) Downloaded 314KB in 5.4s (58.1KB/s) Verifying 0C000000 ( 0%) Verify failed between address 0xC000000 and 0xC00FFFF Leaving target processor paused " and nothing else happened on my board or on the console i have exactly the same with an "hello_world" project, maybe do you know what mistake i have done thanks in advance- Altera_Forum
Start with the Simple Sockets Server example from the IDE and compile it. The board should get an IP address from DHCP and start a server you can access with Telnet.
You can then change the code to suit your needs. - Altera_Forum
thanks for your respond
i made run the program "cycloneIII_3c120_dev_niosII_standard" on my board but then how can i can communicate between the host (i think my PC) and my peripheral (i think my board) 1) i tried a "ping" request with the cmd windows but without an IP address, i can't have a response 2) i absolutly don't know how to use NIOS II IDE with the .c I have, maybe a tutorial on this task can help me but the only one i have is for the utilisation of LED (not very usefull in my case) thanks in advance - Altera_Forum
This reference design doesn't apply well to the Cyclone III kit. It uses a SGMII interface, whereas you have RGMII on the kit. It is better to download the reference design from the page I indicated, which will run straight out of the box.

Hi :)
Kindly go to the below link and download the our latest Quartus II Subscription Edition v9.1 https://www.altera.com/support/software/download/altera_design/quartus_sub/dnl-quartus_sub.jsp and After downloading the software go to the below link and download the Triple-Speed Ethernet Data Path Reference Design http://www.altera.com/support/refdesigns/ip/interface/ref-triple-speed-ethernet-data-path.html - Altera_Forum
If you have the old CD with your kit, download the latest archive from this page (http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-cyc3.html). It includes a design example with gigabit Ethernet.
