ContributorSimple socket server - NIOS question
Hello,
We are using simple socket server template in eclipse. Arria 10 GX devkit is used as hardware. Can see that ethernet link is established from NIOS console. But would like to understand if ping/icmp is supported in simple socket server example?
we are trying to ping the board from host pc, but no success. Can you tell us if icmp/ping is supported in simple socket server template from Eclipse? or should we do something from our end?
Thanks
Hi,
The icmp/ping function works on the Simple Socket Server example but ONLY on the Quartus 17.1 pro version. The Quartus version that you are using(18.1) cannot support the design example and ping function provided by Intel here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design-example/714912/arria-10-nios-ii-simple-socket-server-design-example.html
I would suggest you to use Quartus 17.1 pro version to try out the design example above.
Thank you.
Regards,
Kelly

Hi,
Greetings and welcome to Intel's Forum.
First of all, may I know the Quartus version. that you are using?
Here is a design example of the simple socket server that can ONLY be tested on the 17.1 pro Quartus Version to compare to your design: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/design-example/714912/arria-10-nios-ii-simple-socket-server-design-example.html
One more thing to take note would be trying to use the SGDMA configuration instead of MSGDMA. Here is a reference that uses MSGDMA configuration for SSS for your reference: https://www.intel.com/content/dam/support/us/en/programmable/support-resources/fpga-wiki/asset03/nios-ii-simple-socket-server-on-a10-soc-development-kit.pdf
Hope to hear from you.
Thank you.

Kelly
