Honored ContributorSimple Project Description:
PC (using Labview) communicate with Altera Nios II Embedded Evaluation Kit over ethernet port. PC send command and FPGA response (echo application or flash LED). What I need to understand From FPGA Side ? From my knowledge I need to understand: * NIOS II * TSE IP Core * NicheStack TCP/IP Stack Is that really what I need to understand? and what else I need?
Honored ContributorYou will also probably need to learn a few things about the uCOS operating system as it is the one used by default in the Altera Nios II EDS. In the software examples you have a Simple Sockets Server code that you can use as a starting point.
Honored ContributorSimple Sockets Server is a good example to start, but it has uCOS and I think uCOS is early for me to start with it without understanding principle of ethernet with fpga in deep.
I hope so if there is any example used only TSE IP Core without NIOS.Honored ContributorThe Nios II / TSE / uCos / Interniche is the easiest way to get an Ethernet interface running on an Altera FPGA, as it's the only solution officially supported by Altera. If you have a development kit you should have an example design that's ready to run.
Going without the Nios CPU and the Altera drivers is possible but more complicated.
