11 years agoVerify that the PHI has the MAC address configured correctly. If it thinks the MAC address is different from that on the packet you are sending the PHI won't send it to the FPGA. Get hold of the 88E1111 documentation and verify you can read some of its registers. Read back the MAC address.
I would run the example code and FPGA configuration that came with your Ethernet daughter board. If that works, try building it from source and verify that you can create a working configuration. Use the same Quartus version as the example was built with to start. If that works you can work up to newer versions.
